Anyone know of any low carb and sugar snacks?

I sit at a desk for 7 & a half hours a day and find it really hard not to snack.

I've been snacking on fruit but it's sooo high in carbs & sugar. I'm starting to think that rice cakes, low fat crisps, yoghurts cup a soups etc would be better

    String cheese, hard boiled eggs, nuts, protein bars, beef or turkey jerky, veggies w/ hummus.

    Raw veggies works in a bind as well.

    You're better off if you break your habit rather than just continuing it with better food.

    Rice cakes are almost entirely carbs as are crisps.

    Better ideas are nuts, cheese, plain Greek yogurt with a handful of berries, hard-boiled eggs and raw veggies.

    Do you have a medial reason to avoid carbs? Is "snacking" hindering you from hitting your total daily caloric goal? If the answer is no to both, then what will lower carb/sugar snacks accomplish?

    This! I'd break the habit first and then go for healthy options.

    You can try those store brand sugar free oatmeal packets ( around 19carb, 3 fat, 4 protein & 3-5 fiber depending on the flavor - per packet). I love these things, I typically have 3 packets for breakfest everymorning!

    You can also try having three meals during your time at work. I typically have breakfast at 8-9ish, lunch one at 11am & lunch two around 2:30pm. This usually keeps me satisfied and still under my calorie intake for the day. I will then finish off my macros later on.

    These are the exact times I have my snacks!!

    I'm going to try and break the habbit next week and if I struggle I'll try some of the suggested snacks
