How to use this keto food chart

Start with serving sizes

One tablespoon of oil, one-quarter cup of nuts and seeds, one cup of vegetables and four ounces of meat are very different servings. Compare foods based on the amount you actually eat.

Understand net carbs

Net carbs usually means total carbohydrates minus fiber. For products containing sugar alcohols or specialty ingredients, calculations may differ.

Check prepared foods

Flavored dairy products, sauces, marinades and processed foods may contain added sugars or starches. Their nutritional values can differ from plain foods.

Think about nutrition beyond carbs

Consider protein, fats, fiber and overall variety rather than focusing exclusively on carbohydrate numbers.

Frequently asked questions

What are net carbs?

Net carbohydrates are generally estimated by subtracting dietary fiber from total carbohydrates. Some specialty ingredients and product labels use different conventions.

Are all these foods appropriate for a ketogenic diet?

Whether a food fits your eating plan depends on portion size, your daily carbohydrate target and your individual needs. The tables are nutritional references, not a personalized meal plan.

Why do my food labels or tracking app show different values?

Variety, brand, preparation, database methodology and serving-size assumptions can all change nutrient estimates. Check the specific food label when available.

What do the serving sizes apply to?

Serving amounts are listed above each chart. The Meat & Eggs chart generally uses four ounces except for the two-egg entry.

For a more detailed lookup of individual ingredients, see USDA FoodData Central. These approximate values are intended as a general kitchen reference, not medical advice.
