Low carb snacks??!!
Hi! I've been on the low carb bandwagon on and off and am looking for tasty variations. I'm tired of cheese sticks and sausage patties when I'm hungy between meals. What are your go to snacks and or meals? And I'm trying to avoid things like microwaved pepperoni pieces

Almonds and raisins. Sometimes I mix in some peanut butter or almond butter with my almonds and raisins. Just to give it a little bit extra and maybe some dark chocolate chips and/or coconut. I scoop them into tablespoon servings and put it on parchment paper and put it in the freezer. Makes a nice little sweet snack. And if I really am looking for something sweet, I may have yogurt covered raisins with my almonds instead of just regular raisins.7

My current go to is an apple cut into fours with some peanut butter (no more than 2 tbsp) ... i dont know if thats low enough carb for you... i also found these new bars by Atkins- harvest bars.. they are amazing! Its fruit and nut and dark chocolate 6 net carbs and 150 calories 8 protein.. not bad for a snack if the calories dont scare you.. hits the spot2

Apples and raisins aren't low carb. Quite high carb in fact. Things I snack on (been eating low carb for 4 years):
Normandie pate pods (50g tubs of pate)
Philadelphia cream cheese tubs (40g)
Maxine's Burn bars (not often but okay for something sweet)
90% dark chocolate (one or two squares is enough, dip it in the peanut butter if you feel like going all out)
Camembert cheese (or Brei)
Black olives and pickles (dill pickles - check the label for sugar)
Boiled eggs
Smoked oysters
Little tins of tuna, salmon, chicken (check the carbs on the tin, some of the sauces are quite high
Celery filled with cream cheese, or peanut butter, or both (cream cheese with an anchovy on top is awesome)
Salami rolled up with cream cheese inside

During my keto phases I tend to use full fat Greek Yogurt, hard boiled eggs, and bacon jerky. On the jerky though, the only reliably low-carb brand was Jack Link's Small Batch. Everyone else seems to want to add a bunch of damned sugar to it.1

In addition to apples and raisins, take bananas off the list too. Generally, you should know that fruits are high carb. The exception might be tomatoes, if you consider it a fruit. I'm aware some may call it a fruit based on how it grows, but nutritionally speaking, I consider it a low-carb vegetable (unlike high carb vegetables - potatoes, grains, peas, for example).
The suggestions I have for snacks, which I assume require little or no prep, are fairly limited because they have been mentioned or you excluded them in your OP. So I suggest pork rinds or dill pickles.2 -
