Low-Carb Snacks: Quick and Easy for Plan B

Satisfying the Munchies the Low-Carb Way

It’s important to have access to nutritious low-carb snack food so that if you get hungry between meals you won’t reach for crackers and chips.

Ideally, a low-carb snack should have protein, healthy fat, and some fiber (so the best thing would be to have some raw veggies with your eggs or jerky).
