Top 25 Low Carb Snacks to Curb Your Appetite

Eating low carb can help you stick to a low calorie diet and curb your appetite. Here’s 25 of my favorite, low carb snacks, under 7 grams of carbs per serving.

Here’s the truth about carbs. They are essential for reaching your health and fitness goals. I would never cut out carbs entirely.

However, to reach weight loss goals with carbs, because of their impact on appetite, you’ll find the best success by choosing complex carbs, rather than simple carbs.

Complex carbs are foods such as fruits, veggies, starchy veggies and whole grains. These are processed slower, therefore keeping you feeling full longer and helping you eat less food.

If you’re wanting to live a low carb diet, it is important to understand what exactly that means. Depending on your total calories for the day, according to the Mayo Clinic, a low carb diet might consist of a daily intake of 20-57g of carbs. Although, I consider a low carb diet, anything below 100grams of carbs.

Considering this, I chose to round up a variety of snack options that have about 7g of carbs or less!

Foods You Can Buy

1. Seaweed – When looking at the different brands of individual seaweed packs you can buy, generally a single serving was 2g of carbs or less! This makes for a super low calorie, easily transportable snack.
2. Guacamole – Guacamole itself is actually really low in carbs. Now if you eat it on bread or chips, that carb count quickly goes up. Whether you eat it plain or on top of cucumbers, enjoy 2 tablespoons off Sabra guacamole for just 2g of carbs.
3. Cheese – Generally a slice of cheese is about an ounce. This guide shows lots of different types of cheese and how many carbs are in 1 oz of each! Because the carbs are so low, you could even have a slice of cheese along with a few crackers, you’d just want to check the nutrition on whatever kind of crackers you grab.
4. Jerky – One ounce of Jack Link’s Original Beef Jerky has 6g of carbs. Other brands have similar nutrition facts, so this is a great, high protein option. If you’re feeling more snacky and want more to eat, try their turkey jerky. You could have 1.5oz for 6g of carbs.
5. Yogurt – The calories and sugar content in greek yogurt varies a lot, so it’s important to pay attention to the brands. Oikos triple zero berry yogurt has 7g of carbs of 1 cup. You can also have 3/4 a cup of Fage yogurt for 5g!

6. Pickles – After looking at a few brands, I found that generally 1oz of pickles has 1 g of carbs. This option is also low in calories and has a variety of available flavors, but I know pickles aren’t for everyone.
7. Skinny Pop Popcorn – Popcorn in general is a lighter calorie and carb snack, as long as you don’t buy the extra butter flavor. Skinny Pop in particular is a healthier option because of their minimal use of butter flavoring. 1 1/4 cup of Skinny Pop brand popcorn has just 5g of carbs!
8. Cottage Cheese – Across the different cottage cheese brands, about 1/2 a cup has 4-5g of carbs. You could eat it plain, or if you have a sweet tooth, add a bit of your favorite flavor of sugar free Jell-O! This adds 0 carbs to your snack, but can help you switch things up.
9. Bell Peppers and Dip – According to Very Well Fit, 1/2 a cup of red bell peppers has 4.5g of carbs. You could eat it plain or even add 2 tbsp of Hidden Valley ranch. And if you want a lower calorie option, Bolthouse ranch is 3g of carbs for 2 tbsp but only has 50 calories per serving!
10. Olives – Five medium-size pitted black olives contain 1g of carbs. It’s pretty much the same for green olives as well.

11. Honey Dew Melon – For 1/4 cup of honey dew, there are 4g of carbs. This is a nice, refreshing snack to curb your appetite.
12. Deli Meat – Most kinds of deli are pretty low in carbs and high in protein (you could have 2-3 slices for less than 7g of carbs). Instead of listing off a bunch of individual kinds and their nutrition facts, I’ll link this deli meat nutrition guide that you can check out. Sometimes the image is hard to find, so look it up on google images if you are having trouble!
13. Pork Rinds – Typically while on a low carb diet, you can’t eat many chips or crackers. If you’re still wanting to eat something with a little crunch, have pork rinds! You could have 4oz for less than 7g of carbs.
14. Carrots – According to Carb Manager, each large baby carrot contains about 1.2 grams of carbs. This means you could have a small handful (5-6 carrots) for a quick, light snack.
15. Berries – 1/3 of a cup of raspberries or blackberries is 4-5 grams of carbs! Another option is 1/2 a cup of strawberries for 6g.
