I started counting macros this week and I realized I need to take the carbs down and I have PLENTY of room left in my fat budget!

Avocados are an obvious win, but what are your favorite LCHF snacks?!

    String cheese......just make sure you actually strip the cheese from the stick and not bite it....cause then it doesn't taste as good....and you are not human lol.

    On a serious note

    Beef jerky
    Cheese
    Nuts
    Nut butters
    Kale chips
    Dried broccoli chips
    Pork rinds!
    Sardines

    Bacon, eggs, nuts (beware of cashews - they have more carbs than almonds or macadamias), Pork rinds was mentioned above - I like to dip mine in guacamole or salsa. :smile:

    I know, right?! If you don't eat string cheese correctly, it's not nearly as satisfying :p

    Do you or anyone find that with yummy low carb recipes as these look (and btw, thanks for sharing) increase your calories or that you go over your daily caloric limit or are you not counting calories? I would worry that I wouldn't have enough calories left by the end of the day eating high fat low carb diet. I know it must work or so many people wouldn't do it but how do you successfully do this and count calories staying within your allotted budget?

    I started counting macros, which means that I figure out exactly how many grams of each macro I want to have each day. This way, instead of just filling myself up with whatever, I'm properly fueling my body. When I started, I realized I was getting WAAAAAY more carbs than I ought to, and that I should cut down on carbs and have more protein and fats. So overall I'll still be aiming for about the same amount of calories overall... I'm just deciding to spend more on fats and protein. Does that make sense?
