I’m so excited to be sharing this low carb foods list with you today! After following a low carb lifestyle for over a decade, I have a lot of experience with this and have compiled this list of foods with low carbs as a reference. I worked on it for months initially and have revised it several times over the years. There’s even a keto food list PDF available!
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 low carb foods, having a list of foods low in carbs is so convenient.
The list is divided into categories for convenience, and you can see the serving size and grams of net carbs for each food (straight from the USDA Food Composition Database). The servings are listed by both weight and unit, so you can decide what is easier for you to use. However, keep in mind that volumes can vary, so go by weight if you want exact measurement.
What Are Low Carb Foods?
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. There are also 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 low carb or keto 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.)

You can enjoy fruit in moderation on a low carb diet. The following low carb fruits list includes the best ones to choose, which 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, bananas, apples, pears, and grapes.

Healthy Fats
Healthy fats are crucial when cooking high fat low carb foods! They keep you full and satisfied. If you are keto, they also help you stay in ketosis.
All pure fats/oils are zero carb, but it’s recommended to avoid soy, corn, canola, “vegetable”, and cottonseed oils. These seed oils are usually GMO and highly processed.
When choosing fats for cooking, consider the smoke point to avoid exposure to carcinogens. 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 than a regular version.
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 options make great high protein low carb foods, because they have zero carbs (provided that there is no sugar added in the preparation). For keto, choose fattier cuts of meat when you can, or add fat when cooking. Grass fed, pasture raised meat and poultry is the healthiest choice if possible, 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 great options for low carb high protein foods. Fish also provides an excellent source of healthy omega-3 fatty acid. Watch for carbs in shellfish, 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 |

GET IT NOWEggs & Full-Fat Dairy
Milk is not keto (or low carb), but many other types of dairy products are. For those 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 the keto cheese list.
Coconut cream is not dairy, but makes a great substitute and is included here. It’s thick and creamy, and often works instead of heavy cream, yogurt or even sour cream in recipes.
Eggs are also not dairy, but are listed 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) |

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, they make great snacks or additions to keto recipes.

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, there are other options that should be included in any complete low carb food list. Almond and coconut milk make great low carb alternatives to dairy milk that is high in carbs. Coffee and tea are perfectly fine, too.
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) |

GET IT NOWLow Carb Sweeteners
Here at Wholesome Yum, we recommend only 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 the keto sugar substitute guide here.
All the sweeteners in this list have 0 net carbs, because they either do not get absorbed or do not metabolize well. Serving sizes can vary by brand, depending on blend/concentration, so check the sweetener conversion chart if substituting sweeteners.
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 they can help you stay on track.
Below is a list of common low carb flours and baking staples, such as thickeners and extracts. 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 tried and true almond flour recipes, simple coconut flour recipes, or browse all my low carb dessert recipes!
Food | Serving size | Net carbs (g) |

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 low carb 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, as well as the recommended amount for recipes, because dried herbs are more concentrated in flavor.)

GET IT NOWSpices & Seasonings
Including spices and seasonings in your food makes it a lot more interesting. Most spices and seasonings are suitable for low carb diet foods, but watch for added ingredients. Some spices or mixes add cornstarch or sugar, so you will want to avoid those.
Most seasoning mixes can be made at home without the weird ingredients — try homemade Italian seasoning, simple taco seasoning, spicy Cajun seasoning, 5 minute pork chop seasoning, or aromatic pumpkin pie spice.

Low Carb 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 not recommended for clean keto, but coconut aminos makes a great substitute for cooking low carb foods. If you’re okay with “dirty keto” foods or not concerned about soy, carbs in soy sauce are still very low.
Food | Serving size | Net carbs (g) |

0This list is great, but can you also list the calorie count on each of these. Very helpful for those also watching how many calories they are eating.
Wholesome Yum
0Hi Carol, this site focuses on low carb eating, so only carb counts are listed here. If you need calorie counts, the USDA food database will be the most accurate source.
Mary
0I have tried many diets, only to gain my weight back. I have no thyroid and was told that this diet will work. So here I go. I do not see lite beer listed, my choice of alcohol, does that mean I can not have any? I do feel that this info will be helpful.
Wholesome Yum
0Hi Mary, there are keto-friendly light beers available — just keep an eye on the net carbs so you know for sure if they’re suitable to drink. I recommend consulting with your doctor if you’re concerned about how alcohol fits in with your treatment plan.

0Hi, I’ve been following a low carb diet for 5 months, and I’ve lost 22 pounds, and I’ve never felt better. I’m very interested in your low carb and keto food list, so I signed up for your newsletter. I received the reply with the link ‘ access your wholesum yum members are’ to tap for the printable list, but when I tap the link, I get a message that the page is not found. Am I doing something wrong, or is there a setting I need to change in my laptop to access the information? I’m looking forward to accessing the list and recipes available on Wholesum Yum. Thank you!

Khani
0What about oils that can be used to cook these foods?
Wholesome Yum
0Hi Khani, see the fats section in the post above. You can use many of them for cooking, but consider the smoke point of these fats when you do high-heat cooking.
Jeni
0Looking forward to the keto journey!
Marie
0This is a terrific resourse – thanks so much.
But there is one minor mistake, I think. The average large, 50 g., egg has .56 carbs, not 0, although the fat and protein do make it a very ‘slow’ carb.

0What about the fat content in some of the items listed. Not only am I concerned with my carb intake – which will help sugar, but I’m concerned with my cholesterol, LDL, HDL scores.
Wholesome Yum
0Hi Linda, I wasn’t able to do that here but I would recommend the USDA Food Database — that’s the source we use to calculate macros.
Laurie
0It says in the list that whole milk Greek yogurt is only 4 carbs but when I looked it up online it says 9 carbs and some were higher depending on the brand. Which greek whole milk yogurt has 4?

0Hi Paula, These are uncooked weights, but carb counts won’t really differ for meat anyway.
Sara

Lynette Bohrer
0Why can’t you have skim or low fat milk with keto? I’m not a fan of almond milk or coconut milk?
Maya | Wholesome Yum
0Hi Lynette, Milk has lactose, which is a sugar and will prevent you from getting into ketosis.
Lynette Bohrer
0Thank you so much for that info. What about carrots?
Also I have your blueberry zucchini bread in the oven right now.. can’t wait till tomorrow to eat it 🙂
Thanks for the great recipes
Maya | Wholesome Yum
0Generally carrots are not strictly keto, however many people (me included!) choose to include them in small amounts as part of recipes. For example, some shredded carrots in coleslaw or a low carb carrot cake should be fine.
Kelly
0This is super helpful. A definite keeper. Thank you!

Marce
0Hi, Maya! What about edible seaweeds? In Chile, my country, we have many of them that are so yummy!! Thank you 🙂
Maya | Wholesome Yum
0Hi Marce, Thanks for noticing that – yes, seaweed would be low carb as long as there is no sugar in the coating, if any.
Fran
0Maya your list and website are AMAZING!! It help me get started on my Keto journey. I see that half & half is on the list some how I must of missed this. Can I use this instead of cream or almond milk in some recipes? Why is whole milk not on the list?

Andrea Louise Kennedy
0Are extracts like almond and vanilla low carb?
Maya | Wholesome Yum
0Hi Andrea, Yes, extracts are low carb friendly. Check the ingredients – sometimes things like vanilla bean paste do have sugar and wouldn’t be low carb.
Roberta
0Will it hurt weight loss to eat a one carb bread or two carb hamburger buns?
Wholesome Yum
0Hi Roberta, it depends on your macro goals. My macro calculator is a good start to find your baseline goals.
Rachel m Kimbrough
0What an awesome site! Thanks for all the info 🙂
James Nguyen
0Keto is all about having the right plan. If you love avocados or bacon or whatever, find a plan that fits them in. Otherwise it just won’t work.
Genise Martin

0I am just starting the Keto diet but am afraid I will fail. I love my bread, potatoes and pasta. Help, any suggestions. Is there a low carb bread available?
Maya | Wholesome Yum
0Hi Linda, Welcome! Check the guide to start a keto diet here, then join our support group. You can find lots of low carb bread recipes here.
Tonisha
0I was a vread and sweet person as well. Once you start you will not believe that you don’t crave those things. It was not hard as I thought but what helped with the lack of cravings is starting my day with the coffee, ghee and tablespoon of coconut/mct oil. I don’t do heavey cream . Once you begin youll see thats the least worry you will have. You can do it
