43 Zero Carb Foods
Here is a list of 43 zero carb foods, including meat, seafood, dairy, vegetables, drinks, oils and condiments.
There is such a thing as a no carb diet. Although I find this way of eating a little too extreme, I still find it useful to know what can be considered “free” food in terms of carbohydrates.
All these foods do not naturally contain carbohydrates, apart from those in the vegetable list which contain between 0 and 1g net carb per serving. For meats and seafood, the key is to go for unprocessed food. As soon as someone process it (think ham, bacon, jerky, burgers) there is a higher chance that they have also added some carbs!
Meat:
Chicken
Beef
Turkey
Duck
Veal
Lamb
Pork
Organ meats
Goose
Seafood:
Fish
Shellfish
Mollusks
Dairy:
Butter
Margarine
Most types of cheese
Heavy cream (very very low carbs)
Eggs
Oil:
Coconut oil
Olive oil
Sunflower oil
Sesame oil
Avocado oil
Safflower oil
Corn oil
Peanut oil
Vegetables (most contain between 0 and 1g net carb per serving):
Leafy greens (lettuce, arugula, spinach, swiss chard, kale, turnip greens, bok choy etc)
Cucumber
Radish
Fresh herbs
Alfalfa sprouts
Chicory family (endive, escarole, radicchio)
Celery
Condiments:
Vinegar (NOT balsamic)
Mustard (avoid honey varieties)
Salt
Many types of hot sauce
Regular (full fat) mayonnaise
Drinks:
Water
Tea (no milk or sugar)
Coffee (no milk or sugar)
Diet soda
Herbal tea
Drink mix powders (eg Crystal Light)
And just a quick note about these zero carb foods and recipes – just because they lack carbohydrates doesn’t mean you should eat unlimited amounts of them. Moderation, my friends. Moderation.
