Good to Know
Pick zucchini that feel firm and heavy for their size with smooth, taut skin; smaller ones (6 to 8 inches) tend to have fewer seeds and a less watery texture than the oversized summer ones. A cup of sliced rounds runs 21 calories with 2.7g net carbs, so the carbs really come from your sauce or breading, not the squash. Watch fried zucchini chips and battered fritters, which add flour and sugar, and salt and drain spiralized zucchini before cooking so your dish does not turn soggy.

Zucchini contains 2.70g net carbs per 1 cup sliced (3.90g total carbs minus 1.20g fiber). 2.7g net carbs. Perfect noodle substitute (zoodles). Very low calorie.
