You’re ready to start and it’s time to dive in, but maybe you’re still unsure of which foods should be found on your keto shopping list and which ones need to be crossed off of that list.
So you know what the ketogenic diet is, some of the science behind it, and you’ve bought into it because it works and can seriously benefit you.
You’ll be happy to know that we’re here to help and we’ve got you covered!
The purpose of this article is to clear up that confusion and provide you with a convenient keto diet grocery list so you’ll never be left wondering,
“Does this fit into the ketogenic diet?”
The ketogenic diet is more than just steak, bacon, butter, and avocados (though some of these are favorites) and you might be pleasantly surprised by the amount of foods that could be acceptable for your keto grocery list.

Preliminary Keto Shopping List Inspection
Before you start though, it would be wise to go through all of the food and drink items you currently have in your household.
The last thing you want to do is buy a load of keto-approved products just to mix them up in your cupboard with some carb-loaded items.
All that time, energy, and effort to go keto shopping is wasted!
The easiest way to do this is to have a look at the Nutrition Facts labels on all of your foods, beverages, condiments, etc…
After doing so, toss or donate anything that is high in sugar/net carbohydrates.

As a general rule of thumb, if the carb content is higher than the fat and protein content combined, it is way too high and needs to go.
(Click to Enlarge)
If the carb content is higher than half of the fat and protein content combined, it is relatively high and you should consume only scarcely.
Be sure to check the labels rather than just keeping what you think might be low-carb and keto friendly as you might just be surprised at the types of items they add sugar and other forms of carbohydrates to!
The nutrition values are presented alongside most of the food items listed below.
Keto Shopping List: Meat
Generally speaking, meats are typically a safe bet. Most meat sources are naturally carb-free.
However, meats are also very good sources of protein. While protein is a very important component for both general health and the ketogenic diet, too much protein can actually be anti-ketogenic.

When following the keto diet, you should be sure to watch how much meat, and thus protein, you consume. Also, watch out for added carbohydrates in pre-prepared and processed meats.
Common meats to find added carbs include: sausages, ham, burgers, meatballs, meatloaf, etc…

Keto Shopping List: Seafood
Seafood, like meat, also tends to be safe across the board to include in your keto diet shopping list. Unlike most meats, seafood usually boasts higher fat contents than their protein contents, making them ideal candidates for keto-friendly meals.
Watch out for some of the harder-shelled shellfish, though, as carb contents can tend to climb.

Keto Shopping List: Fats, Dressings, and Condiments
It should come to you as no surprise that “fats”, such as butters and oils, fit into the keto diet. Obviously, some fats are better for you than others (grass-fed butter compared to standard butter, avocado oil compared to low-grade vegetable oil, etc…).
For the sake of this argument, they’re all acceptable and generally don’t contain any carbs. Dressings and condiments, however, are where you could get into trouble.
A lot of these have high amounts of added sugars for flavor and carbs for texture. As a result, nutritional content of condiments and dressings can vary from brand to brand, making sure to read those labels carefully!
Many companies offer “low-carb” or “no sugar added” versions of almost all types of condiments and dressings, so be sure to look out for those.

Keto Shopping List: Soy-Based Vegan Proteins
Most standard soy-based vegan meat alternatives are OK for your keto shopping list. Soybeans are very high in fat and protein, but do contain a fair amount of carbohydrates.
Be careful not to eat too much of soy-based products as your total carb intake could climb. Also, be careful as to how the soy-based products are prepared.
Companies can sneak sugars and carbs in anywhere.

Keto Shopping List: Dairy and Alternatives
Something that might catch you off-guard is that milk (whole, skim, or between) is a relatively high carb product. 1 cup contains about 12 g of carbs and, as such, is not going to be included in this keto grocery list.
Now, that’s not to say it needs to be outright avoided, but it should be carefully used within your keto diet. You will be happy to know, however, that other dairy products are okay for keto and so are some alternatives to standard milk.

Keto Shopping List: Vegetables
When people think of the ketogenic diet, vegetables aren’t exactly the first things to come to mind. However, vegetables are an important part to any diet and a great number of them fit the keto diet.
In fact, most vegetables besides corn, peas, lima beans, starches, and hearts of palm are relatively low carb and thus fit this keto shopping list.

Within this group of foods, carb content can vary greatly. All nuts are not created equal and generally,
They should only be eaten in moderation.

Keto Shopping List: Drinks
It’s no secret that most beverages out there have some form of added sugar to them. Water is always your safe bet, but with the keto diet, any zero-calorie drink will do.
Avoid fruit juices and sodas like the plague. Also, alcohol and the keto diet don’t typically mix, but if you are going to do it, liquor is the most keto-friendly.
