My diet consists of homemade chicken salads pretty much! This steroid (medical prescribed) not the gym steroids .. lol makes it so hard to lose weight. Already lost 8 pds or so with this diet. But always crave snacks at night. Any healthy snack ideas other then veggies.....?

Peanut butter is my favorite but I always end up eating too much of it then it's just straight up carbs! Awesome ideas1

Home made protein balls, veggies with hummus, cottage cheese with berries2

just had a scoop of chocolate collagen protein powder, mixed with water for dessert- delicious, filling, great for your skin and 90 calories.4

Rebel ice cream or Halo Top ice cream lower carb treat2

You don't need to worry about carbs unless your doctor told you to restrict them in order to treat a medical condition.5 -
I pop my popcorn in a brown paper bag in the microwave. Add a little, very little, butter or Parmesan cheese. Grated. I avoid popcorn like Reddenbachers. It has very harmful chemicals in those bags.19

No it doesn't or it wouldn't pass stringent tests and be approved for human consumption.20 -

Wrong, if it did, the company would be out of business. Quit spreading false info like this!

You don't need to worry about carbs unless your doctor told you to restrict them in order to treat a medical condition.
Furthermore, unless you have some weird brand of peanut butter with a ton of added sugar, it's not high carb. Straight peanut butter is more of a fat source. Mine has no added sugar, 7 g protein and 7 g carbs to 17 g fat for 200 calories (2 T / 32 g).6 -
I save 200-300 calories for ice cream or chocolate every night.4

Here in the UK, the supermarkets sell small (20g) bags of lentil crisps. They're similar carbs / fat / cal count per 100g to normal packets of crisps but as the bags are smaller you still get the feeling you've had a snack without having quite as big a portion to eat. I have a bag most weekdays with my lunch. A hard-boiled egg, a handful of nuts or a mini Babybel cheese are my other go-to snacks if I have spare calories.1

I'm eating more kale chips for calcium and drinking almond milk. I also like black bean hummus and raw unsalted pumpkin seeds for lower calorie options.2

Trader Joe's has chocolate hummus - 50 calories for 2TB. I dip apples in it. So good.
