If you're on a low-carb diet, it can be difficult to find snacks that fit into your meal plan. But don't worry, there are plenty of delicious and nutritious options that won't spike your blood sugar levels. Hard-boiled eggs, tzatziki sauce, nuts and seeds, berries, Greek yogurt, canned fish, avocado, low-glycemic treats, almond butter and celery stalks, sugar-free coconut, bell peppers, olives, and muscle-building protein snacks are all excellent choices. Hard-boiled eggs are a great snack for any time of day.
Two tablespoons (30 grams) of tzatziki sauce provides just 1 gram of carbohydrate, making it an ideal low-carb option. Fill your kitchen with nutritious, low-carb foods such as nuts and seeds, berries, eggs, Greek yogurt, canned fish and avocado. Low-glycemic treats are packed with fiber and are a delicious lower net carb option. For a combination of hearty snacks, spread almond butter along celery stalks which is low in calories and carbohydrates.
You can also make a low-carb version by combining a variety of nuts and seeds with sugar-free coconut. Bell peppers are surprisingly low in carbohydrates. Olives are an excellent low-carb source of vitamin E which works as an antioxidant in the body. Protein snacks will help you feel full between meals when you're on a low-carb diet.
The body digests foods that contain fat or protein along with carbohydrates more slowly than foods that only contain carbohydrates. To make sure you're getting the most out of your diet, be aware of your carbohydrate intake, regulate your portion sizes, and distribute your carbohydrate intake throughout the day.
