The Amber List

Amber foods include ingredients containing between 6g and 25g of carbs per 100g (6% – 25%).

If you are endeavouring to go into ketosis, this list will assist you to stay under a total of 50g carbs for the day.

These are all net carbs and they are all 23 to 25g per indicated amount. Ingredients are all fresh unless otherwise indicated.
