I looked back through a few pages, and couldn't find an existing post (and not sure how to search within this group), so forgive me if it's already been asked a million times. But!

What do you snack on? I'm kinda kinda bored with cheese, pecans, and black olives.

    One of my go-to snacks is hot salami. I have four slices, it's 1g carb and 110cal but good source of fat, protein and sodium.

    (Edited to add: they also have a non-spicey variety that's 0g carb, but I gotta have my spices hehe.)

    My other go-to is the boring black olives :wink:

    My once-in-a-while snack is pistachio nuts.

    String cheese, salami and cheese, pickles, ham rollups...with cheese. (Clearly I rely on dairy) , pork rinds, jerky, hard boiled eggs, and avocados are my go-to snacks.

    My top snacks right now are:
    Pepperoni, parmesan cheese crisps (-especially awesome), beef sticks, pork rinds, colby jack cheese sticks, macadamia nuts. Those salami rolls with cream cheese & pepperchinis are pretty awesome too.

    I found some fresh mozzeralla "pearls" last night at Publix. They're about the size of a mini marshmallow and perfect with a piece of pepperoni.

    I'll fight you for good cheese - must be the English in me coming out!

    Thanks for all the ideas, everyone!! I have been doing a lot of pork rinds lately too. I ended up getting slim jims, salami, peanut/dark chocolate bars, Parmesan crisps, imitation crab, and cucumbers with ranch (made with full fat sour cream).

    I frequently fall into a food rut and need inspiration to get out of it! haha

    I LOVE imitation crab but all I've seen are loaded with carbs. I fit 'em in sometimes. <3

    I make up deviled eggs and snack on those throughout the week. I just mix the yolk with some mayo, mustard and bacon bits.

    I also like to snack on the mini sweet peppers with cream cheese. The peppers are a little higher in carbs than I prefer, but they are great a few times a week.

    My snack faves right now are spicy Buffalo pork rinds, hot and spicy pickles, cashews (weighed and measured out of course), and sweet and spicy turkey Italian sausage with a couple of tablespoons of tomatoe sauce.

    Yeah, I love it enough to make it work every once in a while. And it's been a while!
