I am looking for guidance on a vegetarian keto diet. [View all]

Looking for vegetarian keto diet information
I have slowly moved to a vegetarian diet-I eat cheese, eggs, milk, tuna & occasional salmon. I am also aware that my go to curries are based on sweet potatoes, chick peas and lentils; tasty in a coconut milk base, but still higher in carbs then I'd like. I'm looking for info regarding a vegetarian based keto diet. Some websites are 'yeah tofu is okay', others are 'no tofu'.

Thanks for input and guidance.

I have crossposted this to the Weight Loss/Maintenance & Cooking & Baking Groups as well
