Why I Created This Keto Food List
After successfully following a low carb lifestyle for over a decade, I’m so excited to be sharing this keto food list with you today! I actually created it as a reference for myself to use first, and the initial list of keto foods took me months.
I published it when so many of you asked about what to eat. Later, I put together a printable keto food list PDF, so now you can print it and stick it on your fridge!
You can find my best low carb recipes here, but not everything you eat has to be a recipe. Whether you’re following a keto diet or simply wanting to eat more healthy high protein keto foods, I find it super convenient to have this simple low carb food list — complete with category groupings, serving sizes, and grams of net carbs. All data is sourced from the USDA Food Composition Database. I hope you find it helpful!
What Are The Best Low Carb Foods?
In a nutshell, the best low carb foods include leafy greens, low carb vegetables and fruits, healthy fats, meat, poultry, seafood, eggs, full-fat dairy, nuts and seeds, herbs, and spices. All of these are low in carbohydrates and won’t spike blood sugar levels. My keto food list also includes low carb ingredients you can use for baking, such as almond flour, coconut flour, and natural sugar substitutes.
Avoid sugary and starchy foods, like grains (including bread and pasta, even if they are made with whole grains), beans, rice, and sugar.
If you’re just getting started, make sure to also check my full guide about how to start a ketogenic diet and calculate your macros using the macro calculator to determine your optimal carb intake. (Also, read up on keto flu symptoms and remedies so that you can avoid that hurdle.)
And if you want everything done for you, check out my Wholesome Yum app — it’s free to try and includes custom meal plans, so you can eat exactly what you like and still have your meal planning and grocery list done for you. It also includes all kinds of keto foods, so you never wonder what to eat.

If you want a shorter list of what to buy the first time you’re at the store shopping for low carb foods, check out my simpler keto grocery list.
Keto Vegetables
My keto food list includes a range of moderate to very low carb vegetables. I recommend eating these often because they’re some of the best high fiber low carb foods, and a great source of vitamins and minerals.
I also have a list of keto vegetables here, including the best ones to eat, recipes, and which ones to avoid. Some examples to avoid include starchy vegetables like carrots, white or sweet potatoes, and most types of beans.

Leafy Greens
Leafy greens make excellent low carb foods, because they are filling, packed with fiber and nutrients, and very low in both carbs and calories.

|---|---|---|
| Arugula | 1 cup (20g) | 0.4 |

Low Carb Fruits
Fruits are more challenging than vegetables, so there aren’t as many on the keto food list, but you can still enjoy some types in moderation. The best ones for a low carb diet are primarily berries, avocados, and citrus that isn’t sweet. You can learn more about keto fruit here. Avoid high-sugar or tropical fruits, such as pineapple, mango, bananas, apples, pears, and grapes, and all types of fruit juice.
| Food | Serving size | Net carbs (g) |
|---|---|---|
| Avocados | 1/2 fruit (100g) | 1.8 |
| Raspberries | 1/2 cup (61.5g) | 3.3 |
| Blueberries | 1/2 cup (74g) | 8.9 |
| Blackberries | 1/2 cup (72g) | 3.1 |
| Coconuts, flesh | 1/2 cup (40g) | 2.5 |
| Cranberries | 1/2 cup (55g) | 4.6 |
| Currants | 1/2 cup (56g) | 5.3 |
| Strawberries | 1/2 cup (76g) | 4.3 |
| Lemons | 1 lemon (58g) | 3.8 |
| Limes | 1 lime (67g) | 5.2 |
| Olives | 1/2 cup (67g) | 2.2 |
| Tomatoes | 1 cup (180g) | 4.8 |
| Watermelon | 1/2 cup (76g) | 5.5 |
Healthy Fats
Healthy fats are crucial for a keto diet food list! They keep you full and satisfied, plus they help you stay in ketosis.
All pure fats/oils are zero carb, but I always avoid soy, corn, canola, “vegetable”, and cottonseed oils. These seed oils are usually GMO and highly processed.
When choosing fats for cooking, I also consider the smoke point. Avocado oil, olive oil, and refined coconut oil work best for high-heat cooking. Any extra virgin oil, like extra virgin olive oil, will have a lower smoke point and I reserve these for lower heat or no-heat uses, such as salad dressing.
| Food | Serving size | Net carbs (g) |
|---|---|---|
| Avocado oil | 1 tbsp (14g) | 0 |
| Butter | 1 tbsp (15g) | 0 |
| Cocoa butter | 1 tbsp (13.6g) | 0 |
| Coconut oil | 1 tbsp (13.6g) | 0 |
| Ghee | 1 tbsp (13g) | 0 |
| Lard, other animal fats | 1 tbsp (12.8g) | 0 |
| MCT oil | 1 tbsp (14.5g) | 0 |
| Olive oil | 1 tbsp (13.5g) | 0 |
| Other nut & seed oils | 1 tbsp (~13.5g) | 0 |
Meat & Poultry
Meat and poultry are the infamous items on a keto food list, because many people picture keto as being a lot of meat. These are definitely great high protein low carb foods, because they have zero carbs (provided that there is no sugar added in the preparation), but I recommend choosing whole cuts of meat rather than processed types.
For keto, choose fattier cuts of meat when you can (such as beef or dark meat chicken), but I often cook lean chicken breast too and just add fat when cooking. I look for grass fed, pasture raised meat and poultry, but it’s not absolutely necessary.
| Food | Serving size | Net carbs (g) |
|---|---|---|
| Bacon & sausage | 4 oz (113g) | 0 |
| Beef – ground, steak, roast, veal | 4 oz (113g) | 0 |
| Deli meats – beef, chicken, turkey, ham, etc. (no sugar added) | 4 oz (113g) | 0-1.7 |
| Game meats – bison, venison, etc. | 4 oz (113g) | 0 |
| Lamb – ground, chops, etc. | 4 oz (113g) | 0 |
| Liver & other organ meats | 4 oz (113g) | 0-4.4 |
| Pork – ground, chops, loin, ham, etc. | 4 oz (113g) | 0 |
| Poultry – chicken, turkey, duck, quail, etc. | 4 oz (113g) | 0 |
Seafood
Fish and other seafood are some of my favorite keto food list staples, because they have healthy omega-3 fatty acids. Watch for carbs in shellfish, though, which can be a little higher than other protein types.
| Food | Serving size | Net carbs (g) |
|---|---|---|
| Fish – cod, flounder, halibut, mahi-mahi, salmon, sardines, sea bass, snapper, tilapia, tuna, baked trout, etc. | 4 oz (113g) | 0 |
| Shellfish – crab, clams, lobster, mussels, oysters, scallops, squid, shrimp, etc. | 4 oz (113g) | 0-3 |

Eggs & Full-Fat Dairy
Milk is not keto (or low carb), but many other types of dairy products are. For those (like me) that can tolerate dairy, it makes a great addition to a low carb food list. Choose full-fat dairy over fat-free or low-fat, which is higher in carbs. For cheese in particular, check my keto cheese list.
Coconut cream is not dairy, but makes a great substitute, so I included it here. It’s thick and creamy, and often works instead of heavy cream, yogurt or even sour cream in recipes.
Although Eggs are also not dairy, I listed them in this section for convenience. They are found in the dairy section of the grocery store, but you can still enjoy them if you are dairy-free.
| Food | Serving size | Net carbs (g) |
|---|---|---|
| Cheeses, all kinds – blue, brie, cheddar, dubliner, feta, goat, gouda, gorgonzola, gruyere, jack, mozzarella, parmesan, swiss, etc. | 1 oz (28g) | 0-1.5 |
| Coconut cream | 1 tbsp (15g) | 1.7 |
| Cream cheese | 1 tbsp (14.5g) | 0.8 |
| Eggs | 1 egg (56g) | 0 |
| Half & half | 1 tbsp (15g) | 0.7 |
| Heavy cream | 1 tbsp(15g) | 0.4 |
| Mascarpone cheese | 2 tbsp (28g) | 0.6 |
| Sour cream | 1 tbsp (12g) | 0.6 |
| Whole milk Greek yogurt | 1 cup (100g) | 9.7 |
| Whole milk cottage cheese | 1/2 cup (105g) | 7.1 |
| Whole milk ricotta cheese | 1/2 cup (62g) | 3.7 |
Nuts & Seeds
Nuts and seeds are low carb foods to enjoy in moderation. They can be easy to overendulge on, so portion control is important. Still, I think they make great snacks or additions to keto recipes.
| Food | Serving size | Net carbs (g) |
|---|---|---|
| Almond butter | 2 tbsp (32g) | 2.7 |
| Almonds | 1/4 cup (28g) | 3 |
| Brazil nuts | 1/4 cup (33g) | 1.4 |
| Chia seeds | 1 oz (28.35g) | 2.1 |
| Coconut flakes | 3 tbsp (22.5g) | 3 |
| Flax seeds | 2 tbsp (20.6g) | 0.4 |
| Hazelnuts | 1/4 cup (34g) | 2.3 |
| Hemp seeds | 3 tbsp (30g) | 1.4 |
| Macadamia nuts | 1/4 cup (33g) | 1.7 |
| Other nut butters – hazelnut, macadamia, pecan, walnut, etc. | 2 tbsp (~32g) | 0.5-3 |
| Peanut butter | 2 tbsp (32g) | 4 |
| Peanuts | 1/4 cup (36g) | 4.7 |
| Pecans | 1/4 cup (36g) | 1 |
| Pine nuts | 1/4 cup (36g) | 3.2 |
| Pistachios | 1/4 cup (31g) | 5 |
| Poppy seeds | 1 tbsp (8.8g) | 0.8 |
| Pumpkin seeds | 1/4 cup (32g) | 3 |
| Sesame seeds | 1 tbsp (9g) | 1 |
| Sunflower seed butter | 2 tbsp (32g) | 5.7 |
| Sunflower seeds | 1/4 cup (11.5g) | 1.3 |
| Walnuts | 1/4 cup (30g) | 2 |
Low Carb Beverages
Whenever possible, drink water! It is by far the best beverage. You can change it up by adding lemons or cucumber slices. That being said, my complete low carb food list does include other beverage types you can enjoy.
Drinking alcohol can stall weight loss, but is okay to enjoy in moderation. Skip the fruity, sugar-laden drinks and beer; stick to either hard alcohol and dry wines. (Learn more about low carb alcohol options here.)
| Food | Serving size | Net carbs (g) |
|---|---|---|
| Almond milk, unsweetened | 1 cup (240ml) | 1.5 |
| Broth – chicken, beef, bone | 1 cup (241g) | 0-0.9 |
| Broth – vegetable | 1 cup (221g) | 2 |
| Coconut milk, canned, unsweetened | 1/2 cup (113g) | 3.2 |
| Coconut milk, carton, unsweetened | 1 cup (240ml) | 1 |
| Coffee | 1 cup (248g) | 0.5 |
| Hard liquor | 1 fl. oz (27.8g) | 0 |
| Tea | 1 cup (237g) | 0 |
| Water | 1 cup (235ml) | 0 |
| Wine, red or white, dry | 5 fl. oz (147g) | 3.1-3.7 |

Keto Sweeteners
If you’ve spent a hot minute here at Wholesome Yum, you know I only recommend natural low carb sweeteners. Artificial sweeteners are more likely to spike insulin and have less known long-term effects. For a more detailed look, read my keto sugar substitute guide.
All the sweeteners in this list have 0 net carbs, because they either do not get absorbed or do not metabolize by the body. Serving sizes and sweetness can vary by brand, depending on blend/concentration, so check my sweetener conversion chart if you make swaps.
| Food | Serving size | Net carbs (g) |
|---|---|---|
| Allulose | 1 tsp (4g) | 0 |
| Chicory root | 1/2 cup (45g) | 0 |
| Erythritol | 1 tsp (4g) | 0 |
| Monk fruit | 1 tsp (4g) | 0 |
| Stevia | 1 tsp (4g) | 0 |
| Xylitol | 1 tsp (4g) | 0 |
Low Carb Flours & Baking
Who says you can’t enjoy baked goods on a low carb diet? You can! Of course, they are still best in moderation, but it’s definitely doable to make keto baking recipes — and I find them so helpful to stay on track.
Below is a list of common low carb flours and other baking staples, such as thickeners and extracts. I always check labels to make sure no sugar or artificial additives are included.
Learning to bake with low carb flours takes time, because they behave differently from traditional wheat flour. Get started by following my tried and true almond flour recipes, simple coconut flour recipes, or browse all my low carb dessert recipes!
| Food | Serving size | Net carbs (g) |
|---|---|---|
| Almond flour | 1/4 cup (28g) | 2 |
| Cocoa/cacao powder | 1 tbsp (5.4g) | 1.1 |
| Coconut flour | 2 tbsp (14g) | 2 |
| Hazelnut flour | 1/4 cup (28g) | 2 |
| Macadamia nut flour | 1/4 cup (28g) | 2.9 |
| Peanut flour | 1/4 cup (15g) | 2.8 |
| Flax seed meal (plain or golden) | 2 tbsp (11g) | 0 |
| Gelatin | 1 tbsp (7g) | 0 |
| Glucomannan | 1/2 tsp (2g) | 0 |
| Protein powder(whey, collagen, etc.), unsweetened | 1 scoop (~30g) | 0 |
| Pork rinds | 1/2 oz (14g) | 0 |
| Psyllium husk powder | 1 tsp (4g) | 0 |
| Pure extracts – vanilla, fruit | 1 tsp (4.2g) | 0.1 |
| Sunflower seed meal | 1/4 cup (28g) | 4 |
| Chocolate, unsweetened baker’s or w/sweeteners above | 1 oz (29g) | 2.9-3.4 |
| Xanthan gum | 1/2 tsp (0.7g) | 0 |
Herbs
Herbs make great additions to give your keto foods flavor, with very little carb impact. Carbs listed below are based on chopped fresh herbs.
If using dried herbs, the conversion is 3:1. That is, 1 tablespoon fresh herbs = 1 teaspoon dried herbs. (This conversion applies for carb counts, but it’s also the conversion I recommend for recipes, because dried herbs are more concentrated in flavor.)
| Food | Serving size | Net carbs (g) |
|---|---|---|
| Basil | 2 tbsp (5.3g) | 0 |
| Bay leaves | 1 tbsp (0.6g) | 0.3 |
| Chives | 1 tbsp (3g) | 0.1 |
| Cilantro | 1 tbsp (1g) | 0.1 |
| Dill | 1 tbsp (0.6g) | 0.1 |
| Marjoram | 1 tbsp (0.6g) | 0.2 |
| Mint | 1 tbsp (1.6g) | 0.1 |
| Oregano | 1 tbsp (3g) | 0.3 |
| Parsley | 1 tbsp (3.8g) | 0.1 |
| Rosemary | 1 tbsp (1.7g) | 0.2 |
| Sage | 1 tbsp (0.7g) | 0.1 |
| Savory | 1 tbsp (1.4g) | 0.4 |
| Tarragon | 1 tbsp (0.6g) | 2.1 |
| Thyme | 1 tbsp (2.4g) | 1.2 |

Spices & Seasonings
Including spices and seasonings in your dishes makes them a lot more interesting, so for me they’re a must! Most are suitable for a keto diet food list, but watch for added ingredients. Some blends add cornstarch or sugar, which I recommend avoiding.
I also make many seasoning mixes at home to save money and avoid the weird ingredients. Try my homemade Italian seasoning, taco seasoning, Cajun seasoning, pork chop seasoning, or pumpkin pie spice to get started!
| Food | Serving size | Net carbs (g) |
|---|---|---|
| Allspice, ground | 1 tsp (1.9g) | 1 |
| Black pepper | 1 tsp (2.3g) | 0.9 |
| Cardamom | 1 tsp (2g) | 0.8 |
| Cayenne pepper | 1/4 tsp (0.5g) | 0.2 |
| Celery seed | 1 tsp (2g) | 0.6 |
| Chili powder | 1 tbsp (8g) | 1.2 |
| Cinnamon, ground | 1 tsp (2.6g) | 0.7 |
| Cloves, ground | 1 tsp (2.1g) | 0.7 |
| Cream of tartar | 1 tsp (3g) | 1.8 |
| Cumin, ground | 1 tsp (2.8g) | 0.4 |
| Curry powder | 1 tsp (2g) | 0 |
| Fennel seed | 1 tbsp (5.8g) | 0.7 |
| Garlic powder | 1 tsp (3.1g) | 2 |
| Ginger, ground | 1 tsp (1.8g) | 1 |
| Mustard, ground | 1 tsp (2g) | 0.4 |
| Nutmeg, ground | 1 tsp (2.2g) | 0.6 |
| Onion powder | 1 tsp (2.4g) | 1.5 |
| Paprika (regular or smoked) | 1 tsp (2.3g) | 0.4 |
| Red pepper, crushed | 1 tsp (2g) | 0 |
| Salt (sea salt, Himalayan, etc.) | 1 tsp (6g) | 0 |
| Turmeric | 1 tsp (3g) | 1.3 |
Keto Friendly Condiments
There are plenty of condiments that you can enjoy in foods with low carbs. Just watch for added sugar where you might not expect it, and skip high-sugar ones like pre-made ketchup or sweet dressings.
For any store bought items below, the numbers are based on those without added sugar. If possible, it’s better to make your own, using low carb ingredients and sugar-free or no sweetener.
Soy sauce is not on this list because it’s estrogenic and I don’t recommend it for clean keto, but coconut aminos makes a great substitute for cooking low carb foods. If you’re okay with “dirty keto” (processed or inflammatory foods) or not concerned about soy, carbs in soy sauce are still very low.
| Food | Serving size | Net carbs (g) |
|---|---|---|
| Chimichurri sauce | 1 tbsp | 1 |
| Coconut aminos | 1 tbsp (15ml) | 6 |
| Dressings, oil or vinaigrette | 2 tbsp (~30g) | 2-3 |
| Dressings, creamy (ranch, blue cheese, Caesar, etc.) | 2 tbsp (~30g) | 0-2 |
| Horseradish | 1 tsp (5.6g) | 0.5 |
| Hot sauce (sriracha, buffalo, red pepper sauce, etc.) | 1 tsp (6.5g) | 0.1 |
| Lemon juice, lime juice | 2 tbsp (31g) | 0.7/2.5 |
| Marinara sauce | 1/2 cup (132g) | 7.4 |
| Mayonnaise | 1 tbsp (13.8g) | 0.1 |
| Mustard | 1 tsp (5g) | 0.1 |
| Pesto sauce | 1/4 cup (61g) | 2.8 |
| Salsa | 2 tbsp (36g) | 1.7 |
| Vinegar – white, apple cider | 1 tbsp (15ml) | 0 |
| Vinegar – balsamic | 1 tbsp (16g) | 2.7 |

James
I love beetroot, especially cooked without additives and chopped up into a healthy salad. Yet it is sadly not on your list. Besides being below the ground, is it a definitive no-no?
Wholesome Yum M
Hi James, Beets are relatively high in carbs. 1 2-inch beet is 5.7 net carbs, which is a lot for such a small amount of food.

I have been informed of the Ketogenic Diet due to having severe epilepsy. I am Vegetarian and I have Carrot instead of pasta for spaghetti bolognaise I have one day in the week where I eat meat for health. It is very sad to me that I can’t eat carrot for Ketogenic due to calories, Is there a way round this?
Wholesome Yum M
Hi Elizabeth, Carrots are not off the dinner plate due to calories, it’s actually for high carbohydrate count. There are a few recipes that include carrots on the site, but the amount is kept to a minimum to keep the carbs low.
Eileen
Can you have chick peas or kidney beans, black beans, or any beans on a keto diet?
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Eileen, You can learn about beans on keto here.

Dee Burr
I see carrots are not on the vegetable list. However some of your recipes have them included…
I was trying to see if turnips are acceptable. I like to substitute turnips for potatoes in stews.
Thanks dee Burr
Wholesome Yum M
Hi Dee, Carrots have a fairly high carb count, so you will want to use them in moderation. Turnips have 5.8 carbs per medium-sized root, so they will work well as a potato substitute for soups and stews.
CHRIS
Great & comprehensive info !!!

chrysley abellana
hi! is lactose-free milk considered a low carb beverage? I am lactose intolerant and this is the only milk I can drink. I do not like almond milk, unfortunately.

Hi Chrysley, Lactose-free milk can still be very high in carbs. I recommend checking out this article: Is Milk Keto-Friendly?

Wholesome Yum M
Hi Sana, How are you feeling on keto? Do you feel good? I know it may be disheartening, but sometimes you need to stay the course for a while before seeing results. Weight loss doesn’t happen quickly for everyone. Our bodies often need the chance to heal from poor choices in the past, and that may take some time. I think that if you are feeling good eating this way, then continue and the weight will come off when it’s ready. If you haven’t already done this, take a few minutes to figure out your macros with the Macro Calculator. Work to hit your daily protein goal while keeping your carbs low. Remember that fat is your lever, you only should consume as much as you need to feel satisfied. I wish you the best!

Congratulations, Cathy! You will do great.
Terry
Are eggs counted as protein macro?
Wholesome Yum M
Hi Terry, Eggs have both protein and fat, so they will be counted in your macros. The amount of each of these will vary slightly depending on the size of the eggs you buy (medium, large, jumbo).

Hi Greta, You need to sign up here to get the Keto Food List. There is a black box under the title image that says, “Free Printable: Keto Low Carb & Keto Food List.” Enter your information in that box to get access.

Fantastic resource! Love the sortable columns.

I just paid to be a member and can’t even find where to get the “free” printable food list. I’ve scrolled page after page, followed the link from the email and all I find is, over and over, a place to sign up to get the list. For being a member, I would hope to see way less advertising. I understand that’s how you make your money—in addition to the money I just paid to be a member but the web site is in serious need of redesign. The advertising is intrusive in it’s placement and there are too many pop-ups that take away from trying to read very useful information.
Wholesome Yum M
Hi Linda, When you signed up you should have been sent an email with login credentials to the Wholesome Yum member’s area. Once you are logged in, under the ‘Member’s Area Main Menu’ there is a link on the left to get your printables. Tap on that link and it will take you to your freebies page. The Keto Food List should be right on top! I hope this helps. Feel free to respond to this post or send an email if you need additional assistance!
