Feeling super hungry on the keto diet but your next meal isn't for a few hours? Try these delicious keto snack ideas to squash your cravings and boost your energy.
Are you finding yourself feeling hungry in between meals? Sounds like you need some keto snacks that are low in carbohydrates, high in fats, and that taste absolutely amazing!
What Snacks Can I Have On The Keto Diet?
The most important thing when following a ketogenic diet plan is restricting your carbohydrate intake.
You want to keep your net carbohydrate intake around 5% while consuming 70% fat and 25% protein. Otherwise, you'll knock yourself out of ketosis and stop burning fat for fuel. Sadly, this means most snacks are out of the picture.
Most snacks are loaded with carbs, so things like the standard crackers, chips, most fruits, and granola bars are all no-nos while on the ketogenic diet. Luckily there are loads of keto snacks that are just as tasty and perfect choices for the ketogenic diet.
Here are our best keto snacks that will fit into your meal plan and will help you lose weight and stay in the fat-burning state of ketosis!
