The top 60
low-carb foods.

Low-carb diets work because they restrict the most calorie-dense food group for most people. The foods below all come in under 5g of carbs per 100g — proteins, fats, leafy vegetables, and a handful of low-sugar fruits. None of these will spike blood sugar significantly, and most fit cleanly into keto, Atkins, or general low-carb plans. The list is ranked from lowest carbs upward, so the top entries are essentially zero-carb.

Carbs vs net carbs

Stop guessing. Track precisely.

Some low-carb diets count net carbs (total carbs minus fiber). The values shown are total carbs. For most foods on this list the difference is small, but it matters for higher-fiber items like nuts and certain vegetables.

SpotWell scans your plate and logs the exact macros — protein, carbs, fat, calories — in under a second. No barcode hunting, no manual entry, no estimation errors.
