in Getting Started
Hi, I'm new to Fitness Pal and using this to keep an eye on my carb intake, anybody else on Keto and have any snack and low carb evening meal ideas that are quick and easy? I love the diet and feel great but seem to be eating the same thing everyday!!

Thanks
Emily

    I like to make "gummy bears".
    1 pckg of flavored sugar free jello
    1 pckg of unflavored gelatin
    1/4 cup water.
    dissolve over medium heat on stove and then poor into gummy molds of your choice.

    or you can use you choice of zero carb tea or drink instead of water with 2 pkg of unflavored gelatin.

    I like those (I eat them). I also eat a piece of avocado. It has carbs, but lots of good fats and offsetting fiber. I also buy good cheese and eat an ounce or so. Have you tried Wisps? They are so good, but salty. They have a good crunch. I also sometimes like cucumbers. They taste so good to me since going keto. I sometimes also make a little cream cheese and salmon dip (w. a little caper, onion, dill and mustard) and smear it on celery or cukes. Prosciutto around a little cream or goat cheese for a special treat.

    Cream cheese and salami are an easy go to.

    to settle my sweet tooth, I melt some butter in a bowl add splenda and cinnamon and pour over plain pork rinds.

    Also sugar free jello and whipped cream

    Cucumber slices and lebneh for a snack.

    My laziest meal is also my favorite—blackberries, unsweetened coconut flakes, and whole milk Fage yogurt. Super filling and all the flavors and textures keep it interesting.

    I do follow Keto diet so I make different kinds of fat bombs and muffins, store them in fridge and freezer so I always have a go to snack. Recipes are under "HealthyPursuit-Leanne Vogel" web site or check out Pinterest. I bought her book "The Keto Diet" and it has lots of recipes in it. If really desperate I just take a tablespoon of coconut oil and that takes my hunger away.

    Do you make your own almond butter or use store bought? Every brand I've seen contains sugars and I'm trying to stay below 10 sugars a day.

    Nuts contain sugar naturally. There are companies out there that do make nut butters with no added sugar BUT the nut butter is still going to contain some sugar contained in the ground nuts. Barney Butter, the "Bare" almond butter (they have a couple of different kinds) contains no added sugar.

    I am on keto. I usually grab either Babybel cheeses, or string cheeses, or home made fat bomb. However, if I want a bigger meal, I go with shrimps with mayo and guacamole (or other sauce), or cook a piece of fish in the pan (have a pack of frozen tilapia) and eat with spinach/other low carb veggie.

    I'm on Keto and have found that when I have enough fat I rarely snack, which is a big step for me - with four hungry boys I feel like I'm always in the kitchen, which is probably why I needed to go on Keto!!!
    I like to make chia puddings (1 x 400ml can full fat coconut milk, 1/4 - 1/2 a cup chia seeds & liquid vanilla stevia) pop it in the fridge and it is ready in a few hours. This is about 4 serves (which you could easily halve for a snack instead of a meal) and seems to keep in the fridge for about a week. I tend to use 1/4 cup of chia seeds, which still leaves it a little bit runny but 1/2 cup gives a super thick mix. Delicious with some cacao nibs, unsweetened coconut chips and blueberries/raspberries. I use avocado oil/ghee/coconut oil with most meals, lots of greens and keep dairy to a minimum. I like to bake serves of chicken breast as well - about 100g raw per serve - drizzle over some coconut oil and then a no-added-nasties spice mix. That way you can change the flavour up each week! Great to keep in the fridge if you need a protein hit - spread some avocado or nut butter on top of a piece and there's your snack!
    Good Luck!
