Low carb snacks form an important part of low carb diet.  Great between-meal low carb snacks include olives, cheese, avocado and protein snacks, such as roast turkey or cheese.  However, be careful to choose protein snacks without added fillers or nitrites.  For your crunchy cravings, try nuts and seeds.  Pre-measure your low carb snacks and keep them in a handy place in the refrigerator (one ounce of cheese cut into cubes or a half-dozen olives, for example) so you can grab them quickly and you won't be tempted to eat the whole package or jar. And always keep some hard-boiled eggs handy, either to eat as it  is, make an egg salad or deviled eggs or garnish with cooked spinach.

    For those times when you're stuck in your car or traveling, non-perishable, portable low carb snacks can be very helpful as low carb snack can be hard to find at fast-food places, convenience stores and airports.  When you need a great-tasting, convenient snack that's high in protein and fiber and low in sugar, low carb nutrition bars will be helpful to meet your on-the-go nutrition needs.
