Snacking habit - What are some small low carb snacks I could replace my sugary junk with?

Sometimes all I want to do is eat but when that happens I end up going over my calories (1300) and carbs (under 100 but as low as possible is my aim)
I know cheese, bacon and nuts would be a good option but what else would be a better option that I could snack on that isn't going to bump my calories up too high?
I was thinking berries might be good in small quantities but I want to avoid anything that might trigger sugar cravings.

My favorite low carb and lower calorie snack is turkey pepperoni chips with Laughing Cow cheese. If you microwave 17 turkey pepperoni chips that have been spread out on a piece of paper towel and covered with a paper towel for one minute. Once you let them cool, they get crispy. I dip them in a Laughing Cow for a 105 calorie treat.0

cream cheese balls rolled in sugar free jello (tastes like cheesecake, yummy)
twiggy sticks (like salami sticks)
little 40g tub of Philadelphia cream cheese and some ham
cubes of cheddar cheese
pork crackling
cook a roast beef/pork/chicken thighs. Slice up and put in a container in the fridge. I'll often grab a slice of meat on the way through the kitchen.
grab a 12 muffin pan, put some grated cheese in the bottom of each "hole", cook in the oven until bubbling (don't burn), let cool - cheese chips. Dip them in avocado or whatever.
boiled egg with S&W Mayo on top0 -
Beef jerky. I just bought some but haven't tasted it yet. My son loves it.0

Shaved deli ham/pastrami, a wedge of brie or camembert, a mouthful of cream cheese (with vegemite or marmite if you are in a country that has those), a kransky, salami, boiled egg, etc etc.
I don't usually snack as I only like big volume meals.0 -

Thank you! Oh my gosh, that sounds good. I miss dipping things! LOL0 -
I have string cheese, chunk cheese, babybel cheese snacks, and deli ham with cream cheese or mayo rolled into a tube. I really love cured meats though ( the German in me I suppose...
) so meat sticks, summer sausage, salami, and pepperoni are all favorites for zero(ish) carb. Most will be under one carb for a quick snack.
Berries are not going to be a great snack unless you have lots of room in your carbs for the day. I have to plan out my intake carefully on days I want to eat fruit on my <20 carb plan. I usually eat them with heavy cream or cream cheese too, which will help slow down their breakdown as well, and hopefully limit the speed in which they hit my bloodstream. You might not need to worry about that if you aren't diabetic.
Snacks are actually rare for me as well, like Minties, because I eat two fairly large meals a day. So much protein and fat in two meals holds me over for a long, long time. One of the battles I'm fighting is the mindless snacking while my kids were little, so I only grab something if I get hungry while the second meal is being prepared, or I'm on the road. Even though the snacks were low carb, they sure add up in a hurry.

Chia pudding. Add some Chia seeds and unsweetened coco powder to some almond milk let sit for a while. The Chia seeds expand and you have pudding.0
