Top low carb snacks

What are the top 5 low carb snacks?

When you get a snack attack most people’s response is to reach for the old classics – crisps, biscuits and chocolate.

Although they are tasty, they are often full of calories and offer little nutritional value. If you’re trying to lose weight and reduce carbs here are some healthy alternative options.

Low carb doesn’t always mean low calorie.

1. Have a roll.

Imagine a sandwich – but without the bread or wrap!

Add a lettuce leaf instead of bread, remove the centre stalk and add some turkey, chicken or ham on top.

Roll it up in the same way as you would a wrap.

Alternatively, you could use a slice of cold meat as the ‘bread’. Spread it with cottage cheese or lower fat cream cheese and roll it up.

2. Eggs

Eggs are packed full of protein and nearly carb-free. They help you feel fuller for longer and can be cooked in many ways. Hard boiled eggs make a great snack and it only takes minutes to scramble egg or make a quick omelette when hunger strikes.

3. Fish

Fish can be an easy low carb snack option. Buy small cans of tuna, sardines, salmon, and snack when you feel peckish.

4. Have an avocado

Half an avocado provides just  9g of carbs, and only 15g of fat which gives avocado its texture.

5. Seafood

Prawns and shellfish are naturally low in carb. Try a healthy lunch with a prawn stir-fry. Slice carrot, a onions, cabbage and mushrooms. Stir-fry the prawns and vegetables with olive oil, some crushed garlic and soy sauce for a quick and, tasty snack.

“Just wanted to give you some positive feedback on my experience so far. I have to say the two gentlemen that delivered my treadmill were very polite, friendly and efficient. Also, I am impressed by the quality of the treadmill, I wasn’t expecting such a good quality treadmill and for it to be brand new too. I have been telling all my friends what a good service I have received and am very happy to recommend your company should anyone want to hire some home gym equipment.”

“We hired a treadmill so that my wife could keep up some gentle exercise at home while she was on maternity leave. The treadmill provided by Home Gym was perfect, a much sturdier model than I expected based on my experience of home treadmills, and at a fair price. Home Gym delivered and installed the treadmill within a few days of my enquiry and at a time convenient for us, then when it came to the end of our rental period there was no fuss – they came to pick it up immediately.”

From ordering to delivery and set up the customer service communication over the phone and via email has been brilliant and the team for delivery were polite, friendly and efficient. The treadmill we hired is outstanding and the quality is amazing, perfect for our pre-summer running training. If we had more space in our flat we would have definitely liked to keep it longer.
