Low or No Carb Snacks

Sunibc22

Help!!! I'm looking for some low or preferably no carb snacks. I tend to eat popcorn,fruit or carrots as a snack but that's really eating up the carbs I'm allowed. Any suggestions?

My snack lately has been plain Greek yogurt (like Fage, Kefir, or Chobani) with a teeny bit of Splenda to reduce the tartness. Flavored ones are high in sugar, but the plain one has only a few g of milk sugars (like 7) and a lot of protein in comparison. Low fat or FF dairy (ice cream not included lol) is a great source of protein and calcium and can be super duper low in carbs depending on what you're eating.

I the chocolate and oats F1 bars....like candy...but they have some, well negative side effects, especially if you eat two like I do for breakfast.....I guess that's fiber for ya. The box is almost empty, I will buy jUsT one next time,not two...makes it last longer...

My favorite mid morning snack is unsalted roasted peanuts.

1/4 cup has 120 calories, 5 g carbs, 16 g fat, 8 g protein. (Double check that number, I tossed my package and I swear it said 120 calories but the online thing here said 180 calories....)

Anyway, they really fill me up and keep me going during busy days. Good luck.

Silhouette 0+ yogurt is mostly protein and only 60 cals per lil container!
Celery stix with a lil cheese, natural peanut butter or hummus.
unsalted pumpkin seeds are good as well

My tried and true low/no carb snacks:
String Cheese
Celery w/ peanut butter, hummus or cream cheese
Nuts - lots to choose from
SF Jello with a dab of cool whip (you can do the reg, lite or FF they are all low carb but fat differs)
SF/FF pudding with a dab of cool whip
Rolled piece of turkey lunch meat with slice of cheese, dip in mustard/mayo, sometimes roll lettuce or tomato in with it.
Beef jerky (low carb, high protein but not my fav)
Those crispbread/crackers ryecrisp I think they are called with some low carb spread-hummus, cream chs, p. butter, etc.
For sweet tooth, low carb vanilla ice cream with diet root beer or orange soda makes a "float"

I probably have more but now I am hungry so have to go eat

oh yeah duh I forgot to mention hardboiled eggs!!!

and cottage cheese! I like mine with a few walnuts or almonds on the side or even some turkey sausage links. I have this for breakfast sometimes.

I've recently become addicted to cottage cheese. It is a great source of protein and calcium and is delicious!

A tablespoon of peanuts, almonds or cashews with an ounce of cheese. I also like low-fat beef jerky to chew on! good luck!

NUTS!!!!! Easy, portable, no need to prepare anything! Just watch the serving size: I pre-measure 2 tablespoons of almonds or peanuts or cashews or pistachios in little snack-sized Ziplocks. Then those little baggies come with me in every purse, desk drawer, glove compartment. I do believe the protein in nuts helps keep me fuller and with such easy access to a low-carb snack that doesn't need a fridge or a microwave, I have every reason to pick something healthy!

I also love deli turkey, hard-boiled eggs, cottage cheese, cucumbers, dill pickles, tomatoes, garbanzo beans. All are easy to pre-measure and take along wherever I go . . .

Hope this helps! Good luck!!!!
