I've done a 3 cup serving of popcorn, if I have the 10-15 carbs to spare. Other snacks include:
- Jerky (watch for added sugar)
- Pepperoni sticks or slices
- Cheese (any you prefer)
- Baked cheese crackers
- Yogurt (full fat, less than 8g of carbs)
- any meat0 -
Oh- and coffee or chai with an ounce or two of heavy cream. Surprisingly filling, and very decadent. Dirty chai with cream is a frequent go-to.0
-
All of the above, plus:
Toasted coconut flakes. Macadamia nuts. Leftovers. And, yes, even dark chocolate.

Olives
Prosciutto
Cheese ... especially Brie
Pickles
Rolled up deli meat with a bit of mayo0 -
Coffee or tea with heavy cream. Frigo cheese and meat sticks (they have turkey, beef, and pepperoni). Small portions of nuts.0
-
Deviled eggs. Yum!!! But may not travel well, and may make you unpopular in the office pool.0
-
When I have little to no carbs left to spare I do dill pickle spears or a bouillon cub in a cup of hot water with 1/2 tbs of butter. Or for less cals no butter but I can always spare cals for more fats in my diet.0
-
Pork rinds!0
-
BPC, pickles, olives, peanut butter (although this is my kryptonite), cheese, deli slices rolled around cream cheese or butter, sunflower seeds, bacon, cheese chips/crisps, pepperoni, tuna with mayo, eggs in any form.... I can't think of anything else off the top of my head, but I just grab whatever is a couple carbs or less and munch on it.0

I usually have a cup of tea when I'm hungry, I usually find I was really just thirsty. I'll chop up a babybel cheese wheel and wrap up the pieces in bits of prosciutto in the evening if I'm hungry. It makes it last longer and feel like a meal lol.0

one of the advice I have received is to quit nuts, dairy products and alcohol if you are stalling your weight loss. hence i have quit these three temporarily. I am wary of buying finished meat snacks from market due to hidden carbs. I do take bulletproof coffee in the morning as breakfast. Egg is a good idea, but requires some preparation. But its do able. what kind of cream do you put in coffee? dark chocolate can be good - where do you buy it from sugarless?0
-
Having hard boiled eggs handy is a good idea, but I always forget to make them. When hubby reminds me, I just boil a whole carton of eggs at once so they're ready. I also like to make egg salad and just have a scoop whenever I need a quick snack.0

any snack which you buy from the market worth recommendation for LC diet0

Toast the coconut flakes. Eat the others out of the package.0 -
Sometimes I just whip up some heavy cream, put in a sprinkle of either cinnamon or cocoa powder depending on what I'm in the mood for and grab a spoon

PICKLES!! Sugar free Jello, almonds, cheese, bacon.0
-
Pickles is a big go-to for me.
Also pepperoni, cheese, meat, sometimes sugar-free Jell-O.0 -
Pepperoni, spread on a plate in a single layer (some people lay them on a paper towel), microwave for one minute, allow to cool (if you can
)! Can be used for dipping, or eat as is.... 0 -

This right here. When in doubt, drink more water.

The Lindt Chocolate has 12 gms carbohydrate per serving!

Mostly fiber. It's worth it.
Edit: I just checked my 99% bar, and it says 8g carb per 100g serving, so my guess is Amazon is showing info for the 90% bar or some other bar.0 -
And you would never get through 100g at once, so you wouldn't be even be getting that many fiber carbs.0
-
That Lindt bar is so satisfying , you would break off and slowly eat one square or two , the entire bar lasts me a week.0

Don't know how these taste after a few hours out of the oven (we can barely wait for them to cool) but Parmesan Crisps are a satisfying snack. They also go well with salads.
Preheat oven to 350, line a baking sheet with parchment paper, lightly mist with cooking spray.
Drop 1/4 cup mounds of finely grated Parmesan cheese on paper, use the back of a spoon to flatten slightly. Sprinkle on some garlic and/or rosemary before if you want to go all fancy.
Bake 6-8 minutes or until light brown on the edges. Allow to cool for a few minutes before removing from the parchment paper.
Oh, and puh-leeze use real Parmesan, not that stuff in the green cardboard shaker that I call Cheese Dust.0 -
Edit: "Sprinkle on some garlic and/or rosemary before ..." should have read "Sprinkle on some garlic and/or rosemary before baking ..."0

Great ideas above! I season and dry Canadian bacon to use instead of storebought jerky for snacks on the road. Roasting a chicken on the weekend will give me a carcass to pick at for snacks for several days at home. String cheese is easy pack along or to find in gas stations, along with boiled eggs.0

@cheesy567 if you like beef jerky too, you can always ask the butcher to slice your beef super thin for homemade jerky, we used to use London broil, and even at regular mainstream grocery store butchers they never blinked an eye at the request. That store bought jerky is definitely kind of gross.0

Hey howdy to that idea. Our butcher regularly offers fajita meat (extremely thin slices of skirt steak) and for some reason I never thought of making my own jerky. Thanks!!0 -
