Low Carb Snacks for a Keto Diet

[Martyfnemec]

I'm sure I'm not the only snacky person in here and the worst part of being on a ketogenic diet is not being able to eat chips and candy (within reason). I have figured out a couple snacks that I can enjoy like Whisps (dried cheese chips/1g carb per 23 crisps) and sugar free jello (1g carb per sealed cup/0g if made yourself on stove). However, I realize that there is a wealth of experience here on AM and I know many people on here have experimented or actively embrace the keto diet. I would love some suggestions for snacks that are low carb/low net carb that help you satisfy your snack cravings in your darkest hours.

I think that this is a topic that could help anyone trying to do a keto diet short or long-term. Thanks.

5-6 grams of chocolate sugar free jello mix + 1 oz of heavy whipping cream = Rich tasting chocolate mousse

Grenade carb killa white chocolate and caramel chaos are amazing, taste just like a chocolate bar.

Theyre great, just make sure you use the oven and not the microwave... nuked/stale pork rinds are not fun

No carb amount in particular. I can always adjust the rest of the day's carbs to make up for whatever snack I'm deciding to enjoy.

jerky, pork rinds, hard boiled eggs...I could think of so many things

Bacon rolls, extra sharp cheese and smoke almonds

Powercrunch bars have good macros for lower carbs.
Whole fried eggs with hollandaise sauce on low carb bread

And who ever said pork rind nachos, how do you make these? Do you use the pre puffed pork rinds or the ones that you microwave in the bag?

Almonds
Turkey & Cheese roll ups
Fiber 1 Cereal (very low carb, but super high in fiber)

I get the ones in the chip section of the grocery store. Usually the Mambi Hot & Spicy flavor or what ever hot & spicy flavor is available at that store. Whole Foods also has a few different flavors like maple bacon, cracked salt & pepper & BBQ if you want to spend the extra money.

And then you just warm up the cheese and beef and put on top or do you bake it at all?

Warming up the beef and cheese seems to be the best route so far. Baking them kind of crisped them up a bit. I also add some guacamole and salsa after.
