Here you can choose the very best low carb vegetables. In this section are our free charts and counters for the carbohydrate in vegetables and the carbs in fruit.
Vegetables are not all equal in carbs, but here you can choose low carb ones for real weight loss that lasts.
From the carb counter, choose low carb vegetables for health or weight loss.
Unless otherwise stated, the vegetable food counts (carbohydrates and calories) are for average size portions of 3½ ounces, which is 100g.
Where the vegetables are listed as boiled or baked, this means plain boiled or baked with nothing yet added such as butter or oil. Unless otherwise stated, the food counts are for fresh (not canned) vegetables.
