Zero Carb Food List (BEST Foods for KETO!)

Zero Carb Food List (BEST Foods for KETO)

In today's post, I’m going to be giving you an extensive list of foods that contain zero carbs or carbohydrates Suitable for a low carb or keto diet now when I was first brainstorming this Article and seeing if anyone had done something similar. That had watermelon on their list of zero carb foods I am going to give you a list of 75 foods that contain less than one total carb per serve and then I’m going to give you a list of 31 Foods that contain less than five total carbs. Zero carbs are meat all types of meat contain.

Beef chicken:         

Zero carbohydrates beef chicken pork turkey lamb bison duck-rabbit deer and kangaroo with the meat you want to watch out for anything that has been pre-marinated or comes with any sauce these are usually filled with sugar and will not be zero carbs and with bacon more often than not there is added sugar as a preservative now if there is less than one gram that's not really worth fussing over but some brands will have more added so make sure to check yours.

Seafood salmon:

Labels and then we have seafood salmon sardines mackerel tuna shrimp crab lobster cod trout baths anchovies and herring all contain zero carbohydrates cheese most cheeses are only going to have trace amounts of carbohydrates with less than one gram total carbs per serve.

Cheeses:                         

however, some softer cheeses such as cottage cheese and ricotta are slightly above this threshold, zero carb kinds of cheese include American cheese blue cheese parmesan feta cheddar cream cheese goat cheese monetary jack mozzarella Swiss provolone brie gouda and tumuli other animal products.

Animal products:

Chicken eggs duck eggs fish eggs also known as roe beef bone broth chicken bone broth fish bone broth.

Fats and oils:

cod liver fats and oils butter ghee beef tallow coconut oil avocado oil olive oil met oil flax seed oil cod liver oil palm oil duck fat chicken fat and bacon grease now you may have noticed that I didn't include any oils such as vegetable oil canola oil grape seed oil soybean oil corn oil and yes these oils do have zero carbs however when the type of fat that is in these oils is refined it becomes extremely inflammatory for the body so these oils should be avoided at all costs and I’m not going to put them on my list the oils and fats I previously mentioned they're all great.

Sauces:

if I didn't mention it avoid it sauces now sauces will vary greatly depending on the brand most generic brands have added sugar and other ingredients you want to stay away from but if you can find the following sauces with no added sugar from brands such as primal kitchen and undivided food co they will probably be less than one gram total carbs per serve mayonnaise sour cream ketchup mustard aioli vinegar tartar sauce butter sauce soy sauce and barbecue sauce.

Vegetables:

It is impossible for any vegetable or fruit for that matter to truly be zero carbs however the following vegetables have less than one gram of total carbs per serve bok Choy arugula iceberg lettuce romaine lettuce butter lettuce pickles kale Swiss chard.

Fruit:

Celery fruit unfortunately there are no fruits that contain less than one gram total carb per serve and that is my list of 75 foods that contain zero carbohydrates now I am going to give you my list of foods that contain less than five grams total carbohydrates so these are foods that don't contain zero carbs or only trace amounts they contain slightly higher but are still extremely low in the grand scheme of things and suitable for a low carb or keto diet vegetables asparagus broccoli cabbage cauliflower celery cucumber eggplant green bell pepper mushrooms and zucchini fruit olives and coconut flakes now I want to give a special shout out to avocados as well because today we are counting total carbs and avocados do not quite make the cut however they are still a great food to include on a low carb or keto diet and I do not think they should be avoided.

Nuts and seeds:

They are slightly over the threshold nuts and seeds macadamia nuts almonds Brazil nuts hazelnuts hemp seeds walnuts sesame seeds pecans peanuts chia seeds peanut butter almond butter macadamia butter flaxseed pumpkin seeds and sesame seeds.

Cheese and dairy:

As I mentioned before some soft cheeses are slightly higher in carbs cottage cheese ricotta and heavy cream all right guys so that was my list of zero carb foods and extremely low carb foods.
