What should I eat today?
Turn the ingredients you like or already have into a keto breakfast, lunch & dinner — net carbs counted.
How to tell if a meal is keto
A meal is keto when it keeps net carbs low — usually under about 10–12 grams — so your full day fits within the 20–50 grams that keep most people in ketosis. Net carbs are total carbohydrates minus fiber. This checker looks up each ingredient in our keto food database, adds the net carbs together, and flags the ingredients dragging your meal over the line.

Is my meal keto — FAQ
How do I know if a meal is keto?
A meal is generally keto if it stays low in net carbs — roughly under 10–12 grams per meal so your whole day fits within 20–50 grams. Paste your meal above and the checker adds up the net carbs of each ingredient and tells you if it's keto, borderline, or not.
How does the meal checker calculate net carbs?
It matches each ingredient in your meal to the KarbZilla food database, looks up its net carbs (total carbs minus fiber) per serving, and sums them. You can adjust portions to match what you actually ate.
What counts as too many carbs for one meal?
There's no hard rule, but most keto dieters keep a single meal under about 10–15 grams of net carbs so the day stays under 20–50 grams. The checker flags any ingredient that's dragging your meal over.
