DawnM Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 I am in love with the cheese crisps made from 100% cheese. YUM!!!!!! And I found out my Sam's sells riced cauliflower in huge bags. Tell me more "ready to eat" or easy to prep items! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Night Elf Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 I don't do low carb but one of my favorite snacks is a boiled egg. Sometimes I mash it and add a little mayo like egg salad. Salt and pepper are the only seasonings I use. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to be careful as I do have an allergy to eggs, but I can have some. you are reminding me to boil a dozen eggs in the Instant Pot, the boys eat them for snacks.

Annie G Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 Not healthy, but microwaving slices of pepperoni until crisp is a yummy snack. Deviled egg, strip of cheese rolled up in a slice of turkey, and bell pepper strips with a wedge of laughing cow cheese. I have a tiny plate and I put a little bit of a few things on it- like a wedge of cheese and a few pepper strips, half a deviled egg, and a few pepperoni pieces. I like variety. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SparklyUnicorn Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 pork rinds if you like that sort of thing celery with cream cheese or SF peanut butter veggies with ranch dip (or whatever dip you like) there are a million and one uses for Fathead dough (google...)..that wouldn't be exactly easy, but you could make some stuff up ahead of time I have made this before (tweaked a bit): http://www.lowcarbmaven.com/keto-low-carb-granola/ low carb bars from Aldi if you have Aldi (way cheaper than anywhere else) if you go for that sort of thing 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spryte Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 When I have carb cravings, I make those cream cheese and egg muffins - with a tiny bit of vanilla and sweetener (swerve is my favorite ATM), the are like little cheese cakes, sort of. :) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pegasus Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 One of my favorite low carb snacks: warm 2 ounces of full-fat cream cheese in the microwave just until warm enough the stir smooth add 1 good sized spoon full of full-fat greek yogurt (or sour cream), stir add a splash of good quality vanilla extract (I use homemade vanilla), stir add a few frozen raspberries, stir and smash on the berries a bit to break them up Enjoy a decadent rich raspberry cheesecake! Note that if you prefer more sweetness, you could add a little sweetener of your choice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spryte Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 Do you have a recipe or link for those? I've never heard of cream cheese and egg muffins. Thanks! This is the one I started with, and tweak each time: 2 8oz. pks. philadelphia cream cheese 1/2 cup sweetener (I use less than this - maybe 1/4 to 1/3 cup, and I prefer Swerve at the moment) 2 eggs 1/2 tsp. vanilla Soften cream cheese about 40 seconds in microwave. Add other ingredients. Beat with mixer till smooth. Pour into 12 muffin pans lined with the papers. Bake at 350 for 20 min. They will fall when you take them out of the oven. Let them cool, keep them in the fridge. I like them best cold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greta Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 When I ate LCHF I used to eat guacamole using either crispy bacon strips or (sugar free!) beef jerky as the "chips". (You would be shocked how much sugar is in some beef jerky brands. Definitely read the labels!) Quest bars are pretty good. And I used this website constantly: http://www.genaw.com/lowcarb/recipes.html 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wintermom Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 Roasted Kale "chips" - not exactly a quick snack, but they're awesome We love roasted and seasoned seaweed. We can buy the little packs at Costco and many grocery stores. There are a lot of Asians in our area. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monica_in_Switzerland Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 Cottage cheese in moderation veggie sticks and some kind of sour cream/mayo dip (I love the French onion dip on the Williams-Sonoma website) fat bombs veggies or cheese crisps and guacamole protein shake with a spoonful of cream cheese blended in 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SparklyUnicorn Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 Just saw roasted zucchini chips. Those looked good. Only thing is I imagine one would have to be careful not to eat too many. At least I would! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SparklyUnicorn Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 I have yet to try the fat bombs. I think that would be a good breakfast item because I can't manage to eat breakfast. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've tried a few fat bomb recipes. The sweet ones are too much for me, usually. Savory are better. I also make the cream cheese and egg pancakes once in a while. They work when I'm craving carbs. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, too sweet for me, but then I don't care for artificial sweeteners very much ... that's the issue for me. I'm still looking for the right sweet recipe. Savory is easier - I like the ones that have cheese or bacon, mostly. I'll come back with links after more coffee. :) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
umsami Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 (edited) You can stuff those little peppers with cream cheese for a snack, but check the brands of cream cheese if you are really strict on your carb numbers. They vary. Fathead dough is the bomb. We make fathead crackers to eat with guac....fathead pizza....even fathead cinnamon rolls for an occasional treat. Not a snack, but I love the egg role in a bowl/crack cole slaw which is super easy to make if you use a bag of cole slaw mix. Pecans are low carb. I've even toasted some in butter and then added swerve and cinnamon. Yum. Edited March 4, 2017 by umsami 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only way I'll eat avocados is as guacamole, and the only way I'll eat guacamole is on chips... so this might just fit the bill! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DawnM Posted March 4, 2017 Author Share Posted March 4, 2017 Thanks guys. The first couple of weeks I am low fat and low carb, but I am keeping these recipes for when I can go higher fat as well. I also have to count calories. I have done low carb before with the high fat, and didn't lose at all. I really think it was due to the higher calorie count. I am a mess.....obviously. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll get through it. :grouphug: I have to watch calories, too, or I don't lose. You probably have your own system, but in case it helps you or someone else: I use the Carb Manager app - it tracks everything, and more. I don't use all the functions, but use it to track macros, and calories and exercise. And weight. I like the graph, and how even with some bumps up I can see it trending down over time. That is what keeps me going. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that makes sense. I don't remember precise details, but I do remember that Phinney and Volek talk about that: that in the beginning when you've got body fat to lose, you don't need to eat a whole lot of fat (low enough carbs and just enough fat to make sure you're in ketosis) because you want to let your body fat be the source of fuel, not your dietary fat. But once you approach/reach maintenance, then you increase your fat intake accordingly. Their book, The Art and Science of Low Carbohydrate Living, is really helpful by the way. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carol in Cal. Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 I love red cabbage, just eaten raw, the crunchy parts particularly. It is quite filling, very low calorie, and lowish carb. Radiccio is similar and also a fave. Celery and fennel are also good, though not quite as healthy. When I'm trying to cut back, every time I'm hungry I drink a glass of water and eat some of one of those and see whether I'm still hungry after that. It's quite effective. I vary this with blackberries sometimes--blackberries are higher calorie/higher carb but not *high*. and very healthy and pretty satisfying for the calorie count. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, when I've got the carbs to spare, I'll do a small portion of frozen berries with whipping cream poured over the top. Yum. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
