Back when I first started eating a Keto Diet, I felt the need to snack. Mostly because of habit I think. I wasn’t really all that hungry, but I still had the habit of snacking. These are my go to snacks and some I prep ahead to make sure I have them available.
Low Carb Keto Snacks
- Hard-boiled Eggs
- Macadamia Nuts (I have found that these little cans are great to take to work! If I take a whole bag I eat waaaay to many!)
- Fathead Crackers (with Jalapeno Palmetto Cheese on them sometimes)
- Deviled Eggs a.k.a. #NaturesFatBomb
- Pepperoni baked in the oven (Applegate brand is what we use)
- No Carb Drinks such as Zevia or Bai (Current favorite is Black Cherry)
- Cheese Cubes or String Cheese (Full Fat Cheese)
- Avocado with salt & pepper on it (Paprika sprinkled on it is good too!)
- Bacon (Cold bacon is even good – Yeah I was surprised!)
- Almonds (These are what I eat)
- Olives
- Pickles (We buy Claussen brand)
Something to keep in mind and to work towards, is that snacking really isn’t recommended on a ketogenic diet, but if you do have to snack remember to choose snacks that have a high amount of fat in them. This will help you get into ketosis and maintain it easier. Having more fat will also help you stay content until your next meal.
You will probably notice that when you are first starting to eat a ketogenic diet or when you are on the verge of being in/out of ketosis, you will probably find that you are hungry between meals and needing a snack. That’s usually caused by not having enough fat in your prior meal to carry you through to the next. Just try adding a little more fat next time. Soon you will find that you aren’t needing the snacks!
