Try honey roasted almonds, boiled eggs, terra vegetable chips, ham strips, tuna, mozerella cheese. even chicken nuggets sometimes:) I try and stay low carbs by eating only eggs and bacon for breakfast, and eating salad with chicken for lunch, thay way i can have some carbs with snacks and dinner. Used to have bagels and sandwiches for lunch, but now i dont miss the carbs at all:) Good luck!

why low carb in the first place?

Low carb snacks:
Almonds
Beef jerky (watch out for Teriyaki flavored or anything too sweet)
Celery & ranch dressing
A few slices of cucumbers and some salsa for dipping (cucumbers do have some carbs, but not a lot - moderation!)
Cheese (string cheese is an easy go-to)
Deviled eggs / hard boiled eggs
Broccoli (either roasted with garlic powder or raw with low carb dressing for dipping)
Kale - you can bake it with salt and olive oil in the oven to make "chips" - very yummy, lots of recipes online
Sugar free jello
Snack pack - No sugar added puddings - these are 7 carbs each, so depends on how many carbs you've had so far if you can have it I suppose

LCHF4Life

Low Carb snacks:

Almonds, pecans, brazil nuts, walnuts (peanuts and pistachios are higher in carbs)
and ounce or two of cheese (the drier the less lactose remaining)
Protein such as eggs or meat. If you use deli meats, make sure they have no nitrites or nitrates (carcinogens)
Low GI veggies such as olives, celery,

edit: I tend to stay away from anything sweet either with real sugar or honey or even sugar substitutes because they make me hungrier than if I hadn't eaten anything at all.

My chocolate fix go-to:

http://cake-o-cake.blogspot.com/2012/07/1-minute-flourless-chocolate-cupcake.html

Also:

Chocolate Bark

4 T. (1/4 cup) Virgin Coconut Oil
1-1.5 T. Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
1/4 t. lowcarb sweetner, such as stevia or xylitol
2 oz nuts (optional)

Melt the coconut oil to a liquid, add in cocoa powder and sweetener. Stir to combine and blend well.

Blend nuts into chocolate mixture (Optional)

Have chlled a metal bakeware lasagna or cake pan or pans in freezer for 10 minutes or so. Remove from freezer and line with waxed paper. Then pour mixture into chilled pan and spread to desired thickness.

Pop in refrigerator or freezer on level shelf and let sit 10 minutes or so. It will harden quickly and breaks with a snap.

everything they mentioned above, but I also like baby carrots, snap peas or sliced cucumber with Tzaziki sauce (make with greek yogurt) or with salsa. Eggs are great, high protein, low fat cheeses. I'm also a big fan of shiratake noodles make from tofu. Cold with some dressing and veggies make a "pasta" like salad!

Jerky
Hard Boiled Eggs
Deviled Eggs
SF Jell-O
Cheese
Pepperoni Slices
Turkey Bacon (or regular)
Lunch Meat Roll-ups (Great with stick cheese inside)
Cheese Crisps (OMG I am addicted to making these!)
Seeds
Celery
Pork Rinds (I know, gross sounding but I love them)
Hummus
Quiche
Greek yogurt
Baked chicken wings
Thai Lettuce Wraps (or any lettuce wrap)

I read that if you eat low carbs then the fuel you need for your workouts will come from the fat on your body.

Just saying, keeping calories constant, eating "high carb" will not prevent you from burning fat. There is no metabolic advantage or fat-loss advantage to it. It doesn't mean one can't succeed eating low carbs. I lose fat drinking water from a Nalgene every day. But it's not the Nalgene that made me lose fat; it's my calorie deficit, exercise, and reasonable (and not extreme) macros.

I make my own cheesecake w/an almond flour crust, the recipe I followed but tweaked with Stevia & sugar free pudding is on yourlighterside.com. They have some really good low carb recipes.
I also like Trader Joes Raw Pecans, Raw Cashews, Raw Almonds & Macadamia nuts, they are all low carb/healthy fat friendly by the serving size (*the cashews have the most carbs per serving though)
Strawberries, blueberries & raspberries has the least amount of carbs as a friut (*must be fresh)
Deli meat w/cheese rolls or salami, cream cheese w/a spring onion sprig.
Olives, Pickles, deviled eggs, broccali salad: Fresh chopped broccali, fresh chopped cauliflower, onions & shredded cheese the dressing is made with mayo, white vinegar, splenda & bacon bits.
Or check out the Pinterst or Linda's Low carb for other low carb snack ideas.

Eating high carb usually means one is eating a lot of sugar. Any carbs gives an insulin spike and aids in weight gain. Eating low carb actually works just as the OP has suggested and it an excellent method to aid weight loss. ultimately its about eating in deficit but I find much more maintainable when I have my blood sugar kept at a nice constant low level. Low carb means you will likely dip in and out of ketosis and your body will turn into a fat eating machine as you have no no glycogen in the liver or muscles it turns to stored body fat as a fuel source as well as ketones created from proteins and fat consumed.
