Sure Keto is a system that can calculate the keto rating of foods based on their ingredients, net carbs, and fat content.
We also provide rankings for different food categories so you can easily choose the best keto-friendly options.
We currently have over 60,000 food products in our database, and we are still adding more every day.
We have 6 rating groups to guide you in your keto food choices. From best to worst:

Examples:
Rating:
The majority of your food choices should come from the SURE KETO group because they are low in carbs, high in fats, and made with healthy ingredients.

Rating:
Foods rated as KETO-FRIENDLY are generally low in net carbs but are not necessarily high in fats. You may eat these foods as supplementary to SURE KETO foods.
Description:
Examples:
Rating:
Foods rated as KETO IN MODERATION have a moderate amount of net carbs so you need to be mindful of their serving size.
Low-carb alcoholic beverages also fall under this category since alcohol consumption should always be limited even if they are low in carbs.

Examples:
Rating:
Foods rated as DIRTY KETO are low-carb foods with unhealthy ingredients. You may still lose weight eating DIRTY KETO, but it may also lead to health problems in the long run.
We recommend avoiding foods from this group. You should instead choose low-carb, whole foods to achieve a healthy weight loss on keto.

Rating:
We recommend avoiding foods from the AVOID OR MINIMIZE group whenever possible. You may still eat some occasionally, but it should be in a small serving size.

Rating:
Foods under the NOT KETO group should not be consumed while on keto because they are very high in net carbs.
These foods may prevent you from reaching or maintaining ketosis even with small serving size.
We use the following factors in our keto rating system:
Products made with grass-fed, pasture-raised, or organic ingredients will have a higher rating. Unprocessed whole foods will also have a higher rating.
On the other hand, products that contain artificial sweeteners, high-glycemic sweeteners, highly refined oils, or controversial food additives will have a lower rating.
Here is the list of ingredients that we check: sweeteners, oils, and food additives.
We adjust the macros to 100g serving size (or 240ml for liquids), so we can rate foods based on the same serving size.
We then get the net carb density by subtracting fiber and sugar alcohols from total carbohydrates.
Net Carb Density = (Carbs - Fiber - Sugar Alcohols) per 100g serving size
Net Carb Density is a more accurate way of comparing net carbs since serving sizes differ for each brand and food type.
Foods that are high in fats will get a bonus score only if they don't contain unhealthy ingredients.
For instance, margarine is high in fats but will not receive the bonus since it is made with highly-refined oils.
