Read More »People often snack less on a Keto diet. Why? Because going Keto controls your appetite. This partly explains why low-carb diets are effective for weight loss[*]. When you snack less, you eat fewer calories. This doesn’t mean you can’t (or won’t) snack while eating Keto. Sure, carby snacks are out. But feel free to replace them with healthy low-carb snacks that won’t kick you out of ketosis. You’ve seen the Keto-friendly products in stores and around the interwebs. But did you know that many of these premium snacks can be made at home? However, if you’re pressed for time there are plenty of healthy options available. The truth is, there’s a staggering list of Keto snacks—and we’ll review many of them today. First, though, let’s cover some ground rules for snacking on Keto. How To Snack On Keto The main rule of Keto snacking is to stick to your macros. On a Keto diet, you should be eating 55-70% of your calories from fat, 20-35% from protein, and less than 10% from carbohydrates. Keeping your macros in these ratios helps you enter the fat-burning state called ketosis. Keeping carbs low is crucial. When you limit carbs, you limit the release of the hormone insulin from your pancreas. Low insulin, in turn, sends the ketosis bat signal[*]. To stay in ketosis, count net carbs, not total carbs. (Net carbs = total carbs - fiber - sugar alcohols). The Carb Manager app does this math for you. Nice feature. Here’s a useful guideline. If a snack contains 5 or more grams of net carbs per serving, take it off the Keto menu. Don’t worry about fat vs protein ratios in snacks. On Keto, you have lots of leeway with both macros. Eating a high-protein snack won’t derail your Keto goals. In fact, high-protein Keto diets have been shown to help with body recomposition—losing fat while maintaining muscle—when paired with strength training[*]. Beyond macros, focus on food quality. Are your munchies made from real foods? Good. Do they contain chemicals you can’t pronounce? Bad. That’s an argument for making Keto snacks at home. You know exactly what’s in them. Can You Snack Too Much On Keto? The short answer is yes. If you over-consume any food—even a Keto-friendly food—consequences may follow. Possible Consequences of Over-Snacking Weight gain
