Low carb snacks that keep you full

Two large hard-boiled eggs have about 1g of carbs and 13g of protein. Boil a batch on Sunday and keep them in the fridge. A pinch of smoked paprika helps.

USDA's figure for an ounce of beef jerky is about 3g net carbs with 9g of protein. Sweet glazes change that fast, so compare total carbs per ounce. It's salty too, at roughly 500mg of sodium.

Roll 2 ounces of low-sodium deli turkey around a 1-ounce slice of Swiss cheese. That's about 20g of protein for 2g of net carbs. A smear of mustard or a pickle spear adds bite.

Grate an ounce of parmesan into 6 small piles on a parchment-lined sheet. Bake at 400°F for 5 to 7 minutes, until golden. They crisp as they cool, with 10g of protein and about 1g of carbs.

Half a cup of 2% cottage cheese with half a cup of sliced cucumber gives you 12g of protein for under 100 calories. At about 7g net, it's the highest-carb pick in this group, since cottage cheese keeps more milk sugar than aged cheese.

An ounce of sharp cheddar with 10 large black olives makes a small snack plate for about 3g of net carbs. Olives are brined, so this pair lands near 500mg of sodium.

Mix 3 ounces of drained light tuna with 1 tablespoon of mayo and a quarter cup of diced celery. Spoon it into 3 romaine leaves. That's 22g of protein for less than a gram of net carbs. A squeeze of lemon brightens it.

This one swaps mayo for 2 tablespoons of plain Greek yogurt. Stir it into 3 ounces of diced cooked chicken breast with celery and dill, then fill 3 romaine leaves. About 30g of protein and 2g net carbs, the most protein on this list.

An ounce of pecans has about 4g of carbs, and almost 3g of that is fiber. Net carbs land near 1g. Toast them in a dry skillet for a few minutes to wake up the flavor.

Macadamias are buttery and the most calorie-dense pick on this list, at 204 calories an ounce. With only 2g of protein, they're a fat snack. Pair a few with cheese or jerky if you want more protein.

Almonds bring 6g of protein and 3.5g of fiber an ounce. Roasted and salted is fine. Skip honey-roasted, which USDA lists with noticeably more carbs.

Shelled pumpkin seeds, sold as pepitas, have 8g of protein an ounce. That beats every nut here. Eat them straight or scatter them over cottage cheese. Buy the green kernels, since whole seeds in the shell carry far more carbs.

Plain pork rinds have 0g of carbs in USDA's data and about 9g of protein per half ounce. They're salty, at roughly 260mg of sodium for that half ounce. Crushed, they also make a breading for baked chicken.

Five grams of dried seaweed has about 15 calories and 2g of net carbs, per USDA. Roasted snack packs are brushed with oil and salt, so check the label. It's a flavor fix, not a filling snack on its own.

Two medium celery stalks with a tablespoon of almond butter come to about 2.5g of net carbs. Look for a jar with almonds and salt as the only ingredients.

Half a cup of red pepper strips with a quarter cup of mashed avocado gives you 5g of fiber, the most on this list. Mash the avocado with lime juice, salt and a little onion and you've made guacamole.

Half a cup each of sliced cucumber and radishes with 2 tablespoons of ranch lands around 4g of net carbs. Most of the calories come from the dressing. For more protein, stir ranch seasoning into plain Greek yogurt.

Whip 2 tablespoons of heavy cream with a drop of vanilla and spoon it over half a cup of raspberries. That's about 4g of net carbs. Leave the sugar out of the cream. The berries are sweet enough.

Top 150g of plain whole-milk Greek yogurt, about two-thirds of a cup, with half a cup of blackberries. You get 15g of protein. At about 9g net it's the highest-carb snack here. Fruit-flavored Greek yogurt has about three times the carbs of plain in USDA's data, so buy plain.

A quarter cup of part-skim ricotta with half a cup of sliced strawberries and a pinch of cinnamon tastes a lot like cheesecake filling. It has about 8g of net carbs and 8g of protein.
