I'm attempting to cut back on carbs. Mostly the bread kind - not focusing too much on the carbs in things like fruits, etc since I need to eat more fruits and veggies - its one of my goals in healthy eating.

My problem: I can't come up with many food ideas that are low carbs.

So far I love things with hummus like cucumbers, almond butter in yogurt, cheese. But then I start to run out of ideas.

I'd love to hear what you all are eating in the lower-carb category. All ideas welcome!

thanks,
Leslie

    I like an occasional boiled egg, but prefer fried eggs.
    A chicken breast is a nice snack.
    So if a little grilled pork.

    Either of those with just al ittle salt and pepper on them.

    Raw cashews and almonds with a little bit of 80% chocolate. The higher the chocolate percentage, the lower the quantity of sugar, as an FYI.

    I find there are a lot of low-carb dips and spreads out there that are very tasty. I use celery sticks instead of crackers and pile on tuna, cheese spread or cream cheese. Cottage cheese is also a great, filling low-carb snack with lots of protein. Love to add walnuts or almonds to my Carbmaster yogurt.

    Low sodium V8 and a Sargento reduced fat cheddar cheese stick- my go-to snack! Celery with peanut or almond butter, berries and cottage cheese, apple slices and almond butter, deviled eggs, red pepper strips with hummus. Yum!
