Usually my high fat, low carb breakfast sustains me until lunch and then my high fat, low carb lunch sustains me until dinner. This was not the case when I did a low fat diet. But to answer your question, if I do need an extra snack sometime during the day I will eat:
- Salted and roasted pepitas (pumpkin seeds, they taste similar to sunflower seeds)
- I found the parmesan cheese crips at Publix. They are like crackers but made entirely of cheese so high fat, lower carb
- String cheese
- Pepperoni
- Sugar free dark chocolate sweetened with stevia (I like Lily's)
- Salted cashews2 -
How many calories are in these chocolate coconut bars, they sound amazing!
Some of my favorites - roasted garbanzo beans (seasoned with your favorite seasoning, cajun, chile, etc), string cheese, frozen chocolate milk (if I need something sweet), and the best - rice cakes with peanut butter on them!0 -
I'm a big fan of string cheese or small hummus packs and some veggies and a couple chips or low carb crackers. If I'm only snacking on fruit I tend to also eat a couple pieces of pepperoni or turkey because the fruit itself never sustains me long enough to the next meal.
I also love rice cakes and have experimented with tons of toppings. Peanut butter, fruit, avocado. This isn't great to being super on the go, but at my office I keep a little container of hard boiled eggs or egg salad made with avocados instead of mayo. Throw some of that on a rice cake topped with some red pepper flakes and it feels way more substantial.0 -
Unsalted cashews (1/4 cup)
Fruit of some type (a navel orange has been my recent pick)
Air popped popcorn (a batch makes three 3-cup servings)
A couple ounces of cheese
Easy peasy stuff.0
