Zero Carb Snacks – Ideas for the best low carb keto friendly no carb snack foods list – with a video showing you carb free no prep and foods to buy.
Zero Carb Snacks
These zero carb snacks are the perfect keto foods to keep you nourished between meals, without blowing out your macros for the day.
I find that when I’m starting out with keto (or when I’m getting back into it after a break), I am hungry ALL THE TIME, until I become adapted to the low carb way of eating.
In those times, these foods are my lifeline. After a while though, I find that the high fat keto meals keep me full without the need for snacking, but these options still come in handy from time to time when I just need that little something extra to keep me going through the day and to help me achieve my low carb diet weight loss goals.
Cheese
Cheese is one of my favorite zero carb snacks that’s high in healthy fats – you can choose from cheddar cheese, mozzarella cheese, feta, brie, parmesan cheese, cream cheese, cottage cheese or really any cheese you like. Simply enjoy by the square or in a snack platter with a couple of other options from this list.
Meat & Chicken – Zero Carb Snacks
There are so many meat snacks to choose from that make a delicious snack and have virtually no carbs.
You can go for leftovers from a previous meal and have a piece of chicken or slice of beef, lamb or ham. Or, opt for deli meat or lunch meat that just need the package to be opened – no prep at all to enjoy a protein rich zero carb snack.
Another perfect snack option is salami sticks, meat sticks or salami, which can have little to no grams of carbohydrates but often have sugars or carbs added, so read the nutrition label carefully.
Pork Rinds, Biltong & Beef Jerky
Dried, salty, meaty protein rich snack options that you can find at stores that are keto diet friendly and can be enjoyed by the handful. Double check the nutrition panel and ingredients for hidden carbs and added sugar.
Fish & Seafood
You can enjoy a can of tuna, salmon or sardines by the fork full or mix a couple of spoons of sour cream or mayo through for a speedy snack that’s naturally low in grams of carbs and high in grams of protein.
Hard Boiled Egg – Zero Carb Snacks
I like to keep a bowl full of hard boiled eggs to make a super quick grab and go carb free snack that’s a good source of protein.
I’ve also found already hard boiled and peeled hard boiled eggs at supermarkets lately which make an easy, instant store bought snack food that’s low in grams of net carbs.
Cucumber, Celery & Greens
Cucumber, celery and greens such as spinach or lettuce can be enjoyed in a salad, lettuce wrap or mixed with other ketogenic diet friendly foods such as tuna, hard boiled egg or olive oil as a great way to enjoy a tasty snack.
Olives & Pickles
Olives and Dill Pickles are carb free and can be turned into an antipasti platter or enjoyed by the spoon or hand full as a great snack.
Low Carb Nuts and Seeds
Quick grab and go low carb snack ideas include all kinds of nuts and seeds to satisfy your crunchy cravings. Choose from a healthy snack of cashew nuts, almonds, macadamia nuts, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds as well as nut butters such as peanut butter.
Just be sure to exercise portion control because total carbs can quickly add up, despite nuts and seeds being keto-friendly foods.
Jello or Jelly – Zero Carb Snacks
Sugar free jelly or jello make easy sweet snacks to satisfy your sweet tooth with a variety of flavors. Just read ingredients carefully and be sure you’re happy to include artificial sweeteners in your low-carb lifestyle, as they can cause an upset stomach in some people.
Tea & Coffee
A simple cup of tea or coffee can satisfy between meal hunger and keep you going until the next main meal with zero net carbs.
