5. Beef
4 ounce beef, round, top round (raw) = 0 g carbohydrate
Meat is fair game because it’s all protein and no carbs (or fiber). While chicken is a well-known lean source of protein, there are many cuts of beef that are also considered “lean” or “extra lean” by the USDA. Smart choices include eye of round roast, top round roast, bottom round roast and top sirloin steak.
6. Hemp Seeds
3 tablespoons hemp seeds = 2.6 g carbohydrates
The best thing about these tiny seeds is that you can sprinkle hemp on foods like yogurt, salads or oatmeal to add a nutty crunch and a good source of vegetarian protein. A 3-tablespoon serving contains 9.5 grams of protein, 1 gram of fiber and 166 calories, per the USDA. Three tablespoons of hemp seeds are also an excellent source of magnesium and zinc.
