Low Carb Foods
Top 30 foods with under 10g carbs per 100g. Perfect for keto and low-carb diets.
About Low Carb Foods
Low-carbohydrate foods are essential for ketogenic diets, diabetic management, and anyone looking to reduce their carbohydrate intake for health or weight loss goals. When you significantly reduce carbs, your body enters a metabolic state called ketosis, where it burns fat for fuel instead of glucose. Even outside of strict keto, reducing carbs can help stabilize blood sugar levels and reduce cravings.

Practical Tips
Focus on non-starchy vegetables, proteins, and healthy fats. Be aware that "net carbs" (total carbs minus fiber) is what matters for keto. Many vegetables are very low in net carbs due to their high fiber content. Avoid hidden carbs in sauces, dressings, and processed foods.
Frequently Asked Questions
What counts as low-carb?
Generally, foods with under 10g of net carbs (total carbs minus fiber) per serving are considered low-carb. For strict keto, aim for under 20-50g total carbs per day.
Are all carbs bad?
No! Carbohydrates from whole foods like vegetables, fruits, and whole grains provide fiber, vitamins, and minerals. The goal is often to reduce refined and processed carbs, not all carbohydrates.
