    Low carb usually make people feel full and satisfied so they don't need to snack.

    If your goal is to lose weight, you can eat anything, you just have to restrict calorie intake.

    If you're struggling to hit your macro goal, maybe it isn't set correctly for your need/preference.

    It's hard to stick to the correct amount of calories when you struggle to find something decent to eat.

    I don't often snack. But when I do I want something crunchy and salty. So my go to is pork cracklings, macadamia nuts, pepperoni, beef sticks.

    Thanks! I do feel full after I eat, I'm having 3 meals a day and a snack mid day to keep myself satisfied. I logged my intake and it's saying my calories are too low. I'm pretty baffled since I'm focusing on carb intake. Maybe it's because my diet is mostly raw veggieS and protein? I'm guessing my macros aren't correct. Again, thanks for the feedback.

    Cheese, jerky or meat sticks (watch the sugar counts on some of these), protein bars, nuts, raw veggies and dip, greek yogurt without added sugar.

    If I want high calorie, low carb snacks, I have some nuts.

    But if I want a filling snack that's low calorie and low carb, I'll have a couple of baby dill pickles or a few peperoncini. Almost all the calories come from carbs, but at ~5 calories per pickle, I don't feel guilty if I eat 3 or 4!
