So, I always reach my carb goal....but have at least 200 cals left over. Since MFP has me set at a 1200 calorie diet, I feel that it is necessary for me to eat all my calories. However, a lot of my carbs I think come from fruits and veggies (I am ALWAYS way over on my fiber intake)....not sure if I should be worried about staying under on my carbs then?

What are some snack ideas that are low in carb? Also, I have high cholesterol so they need to be low in saturated fat as well. Thanks!!!

    I believe you may find a lot of ideas if you google Paleo/Primal. A lot of great info in my IMO.

    or Atkins. If you type in google Low Carb snacks there should be heaps of websites.

    All meat and most cheese have no carbs.

    I'm on 20g carb/day with Atkins and some low carb snacks I have include:

    cheese and olives

    Celery Sticks

    Brocolli with cheese

    Striker Salami Sticks

    bega cheese 'stringers' sticks

    Good luck :)
