Are you looking for no carbs snacks? Something with zero carbs that tastes great and keep you from being hungry? Then check out these delicious options.
Perhaps you’ve spent some time and planned out your meals so you can meet your macros. But what happens when hunger hits and you find that you’ve already eaten your carbs for the day? Easy…. try some of these zero carb keto snack ideas. They can help satisfy a snack attack and keep you in ketosis.
TIP: Remember to not overdue the snacking. It’s still possible to stall your weight loss with frequent snacking. Even if they are 0 carb snacks.
Beef Jerky
Jerky is packed with protein and makes a delicious snack. Check the labels as sugar finds its way into jerky through the flavorings. Always check the ingredients as well as the serving size. You might be surprised to find that what you thought was a serving or two is actually 3 or 4 servings in a single package. While it may contain no carbs you will still want to snack in moderation. Some zero carb brands of jerky include:
Pork Rinds
Pork rinds are lower in protein and carbs and higher in fat. Fat helps to slow down digest and, in combination with the protein, they keep you feeling full longer. Their crunchy texture also helps to satisfy your cravings for crispy things such as chips, popcorn and crackers. Check the nutrition label and choose pork rinds that don’t have added carbs from flavorings. Check out my favorite keto products to see some of the delicious varieties of pork rinds that are available.
Deli Meat
A couple of slices of your favorite deli meat can hit the spot when you are starting to get hungry. Roll up a couple of slices of your favorite meat and enjoy. As always, check the nutrition label as some deli meats have added sugars such as honey ham.
While not zero carb, string cheese has about 1 gram of carbs per stick. Looking for a more filling snack and you don’t mind the additional carb? Then wrap your deli meat around the string cheese to create a meat rollup.
Salami and Pepperoni Chips
*
Bake salami and/or pepperoni slices in a 375 degree oven for about 10 minutes until they are crisp. You can also microwave them to create chips. Simply place a single layer of salami or pepperoni between two pieces of paper towel and microwave for about 40 seconds. Enjoy some of these “chips” to fill you up between meals.
Shirataki Noodles
Made from the high fiber root of the konjac plant shirataki noodles contain less about a half net carb per serving. A 3 ounce serving of these noodles makes a filling next to no carb snack. Top them with a bit of butter and your favorite herbs, a bit of pesto or serving them in chicken, beef or vegetable broth as a quick noodle soup.
Hard Boiled Eggs / Egg Salad
Hard boiled eggs are nutritious and make a great next to zero carb snack. Keep some in your refrigerator and grab one whenever you need a quick snack on the go. Toss a little salt and pepper on top for some added flavor. You can also make some keto deviled eggs for snacking. Even those not on the keto diet love deviled eggs. Don’t want to be bothered making deviled eggs? How about making egg salad instead?
Egg Muffins
Scramble some eggs and bake them in muffin tins or muffin top tins. Add a sprinkle ofEverything But The Bagel seasoning mix on top before cooking. Bake in a 350 degree oven until the eggs are set (length of time depends upon muffin tin). The seasoning mix makes these really tasty.
Keto Butter Coffee
Keto butter coffee, also known as bulletproof coffee, isn’t just for breakfast. It can also make a filling snack when you get hungry between meals. The healthy fats in the butter coffee provide energy and make you feel full. The caffeine in the coffee can give you a little boost of energy that helps to keep you going.
Chicken or Tuna Salad
Looking for something to much on between meals? Why not try some chicken or tuna salad. It’s a filling treat that can hold you over until your next meal without using up carbs planned for meal times. A bit of mayo adds some healthy fats as well as flavor. Try using a lettuce leaf to make a wrap. One lettuce leaf has about a half a net carb. It also makes a great way to turn the chicken or tuna salad into a snack on the run.
Chicken Wings
I don’t know about you but I could eat chicken wings hot or cold. Top them with your favorite seasoning blend or a very low in carb sauce and they make a perfect zero carb snack. Make sure to keep your serving size in check because it’s easy to take wings from snack to meal very quickly.
What about nuts, avocados and cheese?
While these items make a great snack they are not zero, or almost zero, carb snacks.
Nuts can have a wide range of carbs amounts in a very small serving size. One ounce of almonds, about 23 nuts, has 2.5 net carbs. Peanut butter has about 2 grams per tablespoon. These are two of the lower in carb nuts. Others have much higher carb counts.
Avocados, while rich in healthy fats, still has about 3 net grams of carbs in a cup.
Personally, I would say proceed with caution when it comes to cheese.
Cheese can be a quick snacking option but serving sizes are often small and it’s easy to over eat cheese which causes weight loss stalls. Cheese often contains some carbs. Depending upon what you are going to snack on the carb count might be minimal such as 1 net gram per cheese stick or it can add up quickly such as 2 grams of carbs for a slice of American cheese or two tablespoons of cream cheese.
Cheese can be used in a pinch to help curb hunger but keep an eye on serving sizes and don’t over due it.
Snacking can help keep you on track when you get hungry. They keep you from cheating because you are too hungry and unable to eat a meal. They also can provide a boost of healthy fats to give you the energy you need to keep going. What’s your favorite zero carb keto snack?
