Yes, eggs contain carbohydrates, but only in very small amounts. One large egg has less than 1 gram of carbs, which is considered very low. Because of this, eggs are often included in low-carb and ketogenic eating plans.
Most of the calories in an egg come from protein and fat, not carbohydrates. The small amount of carbs in eggs comes naturally from trace sugars. Eggs do not contain fiber, and they do not cause a significant rise in blood sugar for most people.
For people watching their carb intake, such as those with diabetes or following a low-carb diet, eggs can be a helpful food choice. However, how you prepare them matters. Adding ingredients like bread, potatoes, or sweet sauces will increase the total carbohydrate content of the meal.
If you have diabetes or other metabolic conditions, speak with your primary care provider or a registered dietitian before making major dietary changes. Avoid self-prescribing restrictive diets without medical guidance.
