What foods are low in fat and high in protein?

Carbs in Bananas. Bananas have 25g carbs per 100g serving (the size of an average medium-sized banana), so you should not consider eating them when on a low carb, ketogenic diet. They’re starchy fruits and will impact blood sugars greatly.

Low Carb Food List – Foods to Eat

Meat: Beef, lamb, pork, chicken and others.

Fish: Salmon, trout, haddock and many others.

Eggs: Omega-3 enriched or pastured eggs are best.

Vegetables: Spinach, broccoli, cauliflower, carrots and many others.

Fruits: Apples, oranges, pears, blueberries, strawberries.

Eat plenty of plant foods (such as whole-grain products, fruits, and vegetables) and a moderate amount of lean and low-fat, animal-based food (meat and dairy products) to help control your fat, cholesterol, carbs, and calories. When you’re shopping, choose lean meats, fish, and poultry.

Why is a low protein diet necessary?

Animal products (fish, poultry, eggs, meat and dairy products) are considered “high quality protein.”

Vegetable products (breads, cereals, rice, pasta, dried beans) are considered “low quality protein.”
