Here it is, the ultimate low carb vegetables list!

Find all of your favorite veggies along with their carbohydrate information in an easy to search and sort list. The goal is to make this the best low carb vegetables list on the internet, so please give feedback if you think of something to add!

We all know that vegetables are an important part of a healthy, balanced diet for a variety of reasons. But shopping for fresh produce while following a ketogenic diet can be incredibly confusing! There are no nutrition labels to guide your choices in the produce aisle, and not all vegetables are created equal in the keto world. So where should you start?

There are vegetables that you can eat without worry on a keto diet and vegetables to avoid completely.

You can eat Salad Greens and Non-Starchy Vegetables:

If it’s a leaf, you can definitely eat it!

Be aware of portion sizes (aim for 2 cups of leafy greens, 1 cup of non-starchy veggies, or better yet, use a kitchen scale!)

Include a variety to maximize nutrients in your diet!

Avoid Starchy Vegetables:

Peas, Beans

Yams, Potatoes

Carrots, Corn

Legumes, Yucca

Although starchy vegetables are generally to be avoided (starch = higher carb content), you can still enjoy some of them in moderation and small portion sizes. Just be careful and aware! This gets easier as you are further in your diet, so I would recommend newbies avoiding them altogether.

Carbs in vegetables

What about everything in between?

That’s where this list will become extremely helpful. The low carb vegetables list below will help you develop a solid foundation of knowledge to make educated decisions for meal planning and grocery shopping. I hope to help make the produce aisle a lot less confusing for you!
