    Hard boiled eggs, bacon, beef jerky (watch the sugar count on some brands though), nuts and the occasional Atkins bar.

    I happen to love protein shakes- 120 calories and 25 grams of protein. An added bonus, they taste really good.

    Quest bars, almonds, string cheese, nut butters, once when I was stuck I nibbled on half an avocado.

    Totally forgot cheese. Babybels are my go to cheese. I think its only because I feel fancy unwrapping them though.

    I do romaine lettuce wraps, filled with any meat( I particularly like shredded beef, cooked with stock and a few herbs) and then I add avocado and mayo and a little grated cheese or if I do grilled turkey instead of beef I might also add a few walnuts.
    Greek yogurt, with pumpkin seeds and desiccated coconut is good, maybe throw in some hazelnuts.
    I know some people make bread like things using linseed, but I tried these and really didn't like them.
    Plain protein shakes, could add a little vanilla essence or desiccated coconut.
    Omelettes are good and quick if you like eggs.
    I love almond butter, but one taste would prob lead to me eating the whole jar!
    Basically just cook a whole stack of meat and snack on it.

    eggs, jerky (make your own!), cottage cheese, lunch meat (not bologna!), chicken/tuna/turkey/salmon salad (make with avocado if you don't want to do mayo), leftovers. Doesn't need to be traditional "snack" foods, I save half my lunch sometimes to eat later!

    Nutritional yeast! Or very affectionately called Nooch by some. It makes for a great topping on almost anything, but it is an acquired taste.

    Most of the snacks I eat have already been said; hard-boiled eggs, rolled up deli meats, nuts, nut butter, coconut butter, full-fat greek yogurt when I eat dairy, uncured pepperoni is my favorite!

    I don't really snack too much since starting paleo, just eat large meals 3 times a day and sometimes have a snack after dinner (melt coconut butter & almond butter together with cinnamon, add nuts or berries or something!)

    I eat Larabars a few times a week but those are NOT low carb :(
