Need lower carb snack ideas!

Celery with peanut butter
Celery with tuna salad
Hard boiled eggs
Deviled eggs
Dill pickles and cheddar cheese (no kidding, it's a great combo)
1/4 cup berries with 1/3 cup cottage cheese
Nuts (keep raw ones in the freezer if you think you'll overeat them)
Sunflower seeds (get them in the shell so it will take longer to eat them)
Other seeds (How to Toast Pumpkin or Squash Seeds)
Low-Carb Trail Mix
Jerky (beef or turkey -- try to find low-sugar varieties)
Low-carb shakes
Cheese sticks, such as string cheese
Sugar-free Jello, alone or with cottage cheese and a sprinkling of nuts
Make sugar-free lime Jello with part coconut milk -- For a large package, dissolve the powder in a cup of boiling water, add a can of coconut milk, and then add the rest of the water. Stir well.
Pepperoni "chips" -- Zap the slices in the microwave
Cheese with a few apple slices
4-ounce plain or sugar-free yogurt with berries and flax seed meal
Smoked salmon and cream cheese on cucumber slices
Lettuce Roll-ups -- Roll luncheon meat, egg salad, tuna or other filling and veggies in lettuce leaves
Lunch Meat Roll-ups -- Roll cheese or veggies in lunch meat (read the labels for carbs on the lunch meat)
Spread bean dip, spinach dip, or other low-carb dip or spread on the lunch meat or lettuce and then roll it up
Raw veggies and spinach dip, or other low-carb dip
Pork rinds, with or without dip
Ricotta cheese with fruit and/or nuts and/or flax seed meal
Mushrooms with cheese spread inside (or other spreads or dips)
Low-carb snack bars (watch out for sugar alcohols, especially maltitol)
Product Review: Atkins Advantage Bars
Pepperoni Chips -- Microwave pepperoni slices until crisp. Great with cheeses and dips
Garlic Parmesan Flax Seed Crackers
Parmesan Crisps -- Good when you want a crunchy snack.

not to different from previous poster but here are a few of my favs

You can spread cheese out on wax paper and microwave or broil it and it turns into a yummy crisp.
you can take sliced deli meat-smear a little cream cheese on it, roll it up and nom nom nom
take a lettuce leaf-put fav deli meat in it and some spicy mustard and roll
pre-make mini meatloaf or quiche muffins-store in the freezer and nook when you need a snack
If you want a sweet treat, mix coconut oil, cocoa, a lil sf peanut butter and a packet of splenda put in the freezer for ten minutes and enjoy

These are all good ideas.. I guess my issue is quantity.. to me, a snack feels more filling if there is more of it - so it feels more substantial - if that makes sense. So to me, eating one little piece of deli- meat with cheese on it is not going to satisfy me whatsover. I'd want like 4 of them. lol.

Well then, have 4 of them, if you are low carbing-just make it happen.

Nice list

Is there a Trader Joe's or an Asian grocery nearby? They have stuff like wasabi seaweed snacks; virtually no calories in those but they are very flavorful and have vitamins.

Also, pistachios. I know you said you do not like nuts--but who doesn't like pistachios, right?

Lean chicken breast perhaps?


To address the bigger issue... I know it's not the answer you are looking for, but you could try to work on retraining your palate away from sugar and carbs in general. I find that the less simple carbs I eat, the less I want them. Mind you, I still get plenty to have energy to exercise and function, but I do not have major carb cravings.

Anyway, off my high horse.

I usually don't worry as much about complex carbs as much as simple carbs. However, I usually like chicken salad that i make myself, peanut butter on anything, or cheese covered veggies. The cauliflower pizza i had today was really good and there's a recipe for it on pinterest. And the turkey pepperoni from giant eagle is good on it too!

You mentioned yogurt... yes.. most yogurt is really high in carbs. However, if you buy plain greek yogurt and flavour it yourself you can avoid this!! My favourite combination is epsresso powder + splenda, but I also have a few different zero calorie torani syrups (vanilla, hazelnut, etc). Sometimes I will throw in a small handful of dark chocolate, chocolate chips (9carbs for about 15 of them). There have even been times where I will add in some crystal light packets (or part of a packet really). Its really all about experimenting.

My second favourite low-carb snack isn't really all that good for you, but it ins't all that bad either. I take about 2 or 3 tbsp's of cool whip (i actually weight it so I keep myself honest lol), and then I add in the espresso powder (I really love that stuff!) and some chocolate chips. Or just the espresso powder. Or if I am pre-planning I will buy some sugar free chocolate pudding and mix it with cool whip. It makes a yummy mousse like texture.

**i buy the espresso powder at wiliams sonoma. 10 bucks and it lasts me about 4 months using some almost every day.

Oh yes-another sweet treat-coffee with heavy cream and your favorite sf flavoring.

Great list, I need to try some of these! I'm definitely trying to go the low carb route! Thanks

Also, why not just plan your day better and not eat so many carbs so you're not limited to your night time snacks?

This is what I was going to suggest. I prefer carbs at night.
