Not Keto
Egg Noodles
38.40g net carbs per 1 cup cooked
Skip these entirely on keto, since a single cup cooked packs 38.4 g net carbs, more than most people allow in a full day. Reach for shirataki noodles or spiralized zucchini instead, which keep the same comfort-food feel without blowing past your carb limit.

Good to Know
These are mostly enriched wheat flour with eggs added for richness, so the egg content does not buy you any carb savings. Watch portion creep with brands like No Yolks or Pennsylvania Dutch, since a heaped cup of beef stroganoff or chicken noodle soup easily doubles what is on the label. If you want the same chew without the wheat, shirataki noodles or hearts of palm noodles run close to 0 to 3 g net carbs per serving and work in similar dishes.
Is Egg Noodles Keto? The Full Answer
Egg Noodles contains 38.40g net carbs per 1 cup cooked (40.30g total carbs minus 1.90g fiber). Skip these entirely on keto, since a single cup cooked packs 38.4 g net carbs, more than most people allow in a full day. Reach for shirataki noodles or spiralized zucchini instead, which keep the same comfort-food feel without blowing past your carb limit.
On a standard ketogenic diet, most people target 20-25g net carbs per day. A single serving uses 192% of a 20g daily carb limit. If you are following a strict ketogenic protocol, reach for a lower-carb option instead.
Better Keto Swaps
Shirataki noodles are the easiest one-to-one stand-in here. Made from konjac fiber, a typical 1 cup serving lands around 1 g net carbs, so you keep the pasta texture without the starch hit. Drain and dry-pan them first to ditch the rubbery bite. Spiralized zucchini is another route, with roughly 3 g net carbs per cup cooked, and it soaks up sauce well when you keep it al dente. For something closer to a wide, eggy ribbon, try Palmini hearts of palm noodles at about 2 g net carbs per cup. They hold up in casseroles and stir-fries where soft noodles would fall apart.
