I've tried My Fitness Pal so many times in the past but I'm determined to stick with it this time around. I quickly found that everything I eat is SO high in sugar. I go over my sugar limit every day. I was wondering what your favorite low or no sugar snacks are?

    I should mention that I'm allergic to nuts. I'm hooked on soynut butter as a substitute, though.

    Toasted pumpkin seeds are pretty tasty too. If you like soynut butter, you might also like dry roasted soybeans.

    Dairy has lots of sugar (lactose) so that cuts out some of my favorites, as well as fruit and carrots, of course, and you said you can't do nuts, so:

    cheese (I dislike string cheese, but a small bit of good cheese is a treat)
    olives (high calorie, but tasty)
    smoked salmon (bit of sugar in the processing but not significant IMO)
    hard boiled eggs
    kohlrabi
    radishes
    cucumber
    celery

    The veggies aren't sugar-free, but are pretty low sugar. They would be nice with some hummus, perhaps.

    Pretzels and Hummus
    Carrots and Guacamole
    Beef Jerky
    Cherry tomatoes
    Pickles
    Popcorn
    Roasted cauliflower

    If I want something sweet, but I'm trying to watch my sugar:
    Plain greek yogurt with some peanut butter mixed in
    A banana (Not too sugary, for how filling of a snack it is)
    Quest Bars are great, but I think most (if not all) contain almond. :(
    Unsweetened applesauce
    Protein shake (1g sugar/serving)
    Protein pancakes with Walden Farms Syrup

    Smoked salmon! Inspired!
    Otherwise these are mine as well, plus nuts and cauliflower.

    Edamame (I find this more satisfying than dried)
    Cucumbers and Hummus
    Hard Boiled Eggs with sriracha
    Protein Shake made with plain soy milk

    A lot of people are suggesting yogurt, but my morning cup of plain yogurt still has 7 grams of milk sugar in it.
