low carb food/snacks

It's worth running a search, this comes up regularly.

I like to make myself a smoothie: a few pieces of any frozen fruit + skim milk to cover + 2T ground flax seed (if you have enough calories left for it at the end of the day). I usually type in what I want to put in the smoothie first, then see how it's going to affect my total and adjust (or add!) accordingly!

Peach smoothie + nutmeg sprinkled in is kind of like a vanilla shake or eggnog shake.

Also that Special K with the chocolate shavings in it isn't bad calorie-wise.

Of course, I realize these both have some carbs. I guess I'm brainstorming more on low-calorie/low-fat. So maybe these didn't help?

Also IF you have the calories to spare, add a T. Hershey's chocolate syrup to that 8-oz smoothie!

cottage cheese with a couple of sliced strawberrys or nuts.. works wonders!!

Besides fruits and veggies....

I like to make chicken/veggie quesadillas with La Tortilla Factory wraps - 18g carbs, but 12g fiber so only 6g net carbs in a wrap.

Hard-boiled eggs, string cheese, plain Greek yogurt (add a dab of cinnamon or honey for flavor) are all low-carb.

Nuts (and any nut butters) are good too - most of the carbs are fiber.

Smart Food Popcorn mini snack bags (sold by the potato chips) - 100 cals a bag and 8g net carbs.

Any kind of meat is also low carb - a few slices of low-sodium lunch meat can make a nice snack and the protein will keep you full longer.

pork rinds. Not so healthy but no carbs and could satisfy a desire for a crunchy snack.

As a snack I often have 1/4 cup of almonds - very healthy and they take a while to chew and eat. For a serious low carb snack, look up cheese chips. They're basically little piles of shredded cheese baked in the oven until they're thin and crispy. You can use any kind of cheese. A snack a lot of my low carb friends have is a tiny bit of cream cheese smeared on a piece of lunchmeat, which is then wrapped around a pickle, cucumber, or celery.

Besides fruits and veggies, any recommendations for low carb foods, more importantly, a snack at the end of the day that doesn't take 3 bites to eat! I eat great during the day, including dinner. It's after dinner, when I'm relaxing watching tv, I'm thinking of eating something.

almonds, peanuts

almonds, beef jerky, deli meat, sugar free jello pudding...

idk, fruits and veggies are great snacks but i'd consider them more a source of carbs then a low carb snack.

Here are some I have used in the past:

full fat riccotta cheese.- add a splenda packet and some vanilla

full fat riccotta cheese - on top of 1/2 cup of frozen blueberries (the frozen berries make the cheese harden a little so it is like eating ice cream)

boil some water - mix with a tablespoon of cocoa powder. Then add a single spoon of sugar or a splenda packet. Mix in a tablespoon of heavy whipping cream.

pork rinds (all natural with 0 carbs)

chopped up hot dogs to dip into mustard (check carb on hot dogs)

Canned tuna mixed with chopped celery and olive oil

sugar free jello

I hope these give you some ideas.
