13. Pumpkin

People often associate pumpkin with squash, and many winter squashes are high-carb. However, pumpkin itself is on the low end of the carb scale, with only 8 grams per cup. The trick is to avoid pumpkin treats or flavored snacks high in sugar. Meanwhile, research shows pumpkin seeds have the least carbohydrates, while the flesh has the most. Try snacking on roasted pumpkin seeds to enjoy a healthy, low-carb snack.
