    If you like cheese and want a chip altnerative I found Cello Whisps at Costco. They have 1 carb per serving of 23 "chips". Very calorie dense so if you're also watching calories/fat you'll want to pay close attention to serving size. There's recipes for similar cheese chips on the internet. I also package up snack size bags of vegetables to take to work: peppers, cucumbers, celery, etc. I eat those with a small portion of some protein (cheese stix/rounds, nitrate and sugar free deli meat or jerkey). Small servings of nuts are great too.

    Low carb snacks sounds like an oxymoron to me - isn't the point of low carb to regulate hunger and appetite?

    Cheese sticks/string cheese were a must when I was low carb! Celery! Beef jerky! They have these carb smart yogurts that aren’t bad either!

    Heavy cream whipped with cocoa powder and some stevia or with berries like raspberries or blackberries. There are some good suggestions in the fat bomb thread as eell.

    Sometimes. Sometimes it is to address health issues like insulin resistance, alzheimer's or CVD.

    As many on MFP have pointed out, low carb foods are not satiating for everyone.

    So I was snacking on prosciutto, but a 70cal serving is only 2 slices and has like half a day’s worth of sodium. No carbs though! Haha

    Hardboiled eggs- easy to make, portable and don't require refrigeration.

    Basically, any type of meat or fat will be a low-carb snack. Just remember, low-carb doesn't necessarily mean low-calorie so you still have to watch portion sizes. If you are eating something that is calorie dense like salami, nuts or cheese, trying eating those with a vegetable to help with feeling a little fuller.
