I try to keep my diet fairy low carb (between 50 and 100g per day) and I've found some packaged foods I really like that help me with this. Here they are... I figured we've all got something in our back pocket that we rely on, and we should share it with eachother!

Emerald Cocoa Roasted Almonds and Cinnamon Roasted Almonds- these are sweet but not too sweet, low in carbs and nuts are always a Protein packed good choice for people doing low carb diets.

Just The cheese White Cheddar Snacks- It's true, it's just cheese. It's baked into crispy, salty little rounds and it's great for when you're craving chips or other salty snacks. Very crunchy, very yummy, the packs I have are 1g carbs, 5g protein.

Joseph's Flax & Oat lavash breads- these are thin but still feel bread-y (not gluey or like crackers). They're a good size (you use 1/2 of a lavash as a serving- the whole lavash is bigger than the size of a piece of paper) and only 7g of carbs (3g Fiber, so 4g net carbs) each, with 5g of protein. Joseph's also makes a wrap bread with similar nutritional stats but I like the lavash better.

sugar-free syrups- I have tried both Torani and DaVinco flavors and like Torani better, but both are good for sweetening up or mixing up your Protein drinks and greek yogurts without adding any sugar.

PB2 powdered Peanut Butter- I know this one sounds weird, but I used to put real peanut butter in my smoothies until I got some of this. Fewer calories and carbs than regular peanut butter because there's no sugar added. Still adds that yummy peanut butter taste, and also adds protein. They say you can mix it with any liquid to make it into regular penut butter but I haven't tried that yet

Thanks Rachel. Where do you get the Just the Cheese White Cheddar

snacks? I try to keep my carbs low too but I'm a chip/dorito addict

and the cravings drive me crazy sometimes, I need my crunchy salty

treats! lol

i ordered mine from Amazon! http://www.amazon.com/Just-Cheese-Classic-Cheddar-0-5-Ounce/dp/B000EML7DS/ref=sr_1_1?s=grocery&ie=UTF8&qid=1318011881&sr=1-1 If you do subscribe & save they're .77 per bag with free shipping.

Thanks for sharing Rachel! I ordered the cheese Snacks today.

Ancient Harvest Quinoa Organic Pasta. It is low carb and high Protein. (It also pretty high calorie - I believe over 200 calories for 2 oz uncooked). I love it though once in a while - like when I have a serious pasta craving. Follow the directions on the box carefuly because if you overcook them they get mushy! I found them in the gluten free section of my Supermarket (Stop & Shop)

Yasso Frozen Greek Yogurt Bars - I bought Raspberry. I think they taste great! They are 70 calories and 6 grams of protein per bar. I think they come in blueberry too. I got these at Stop & Shop too!

Thanks for the tip of the Just the cheese cheddar Snacks. I got them in the mail on Friday and they helped me over the weekend curb my carb cravings. Those little snacks are just salty cheesy goodness! YUM! Thanks again!

Going to have to try these Just the cheese things. Sounds perfect for a lapbander.

My go to snack is Babybel light cheese. And I also keep the Dannon light and lively Diabetic type yogurt. Both of them have around 50 calories and very few to no carbs.

Absolutely love the PB2 in shakes. Great peanut butter flavor without all the fat.

My biggest crutches:

boars head tavern ham

cheese sticks

Atkins premade shakes

they're all easy to grab and eat if i'm in a rush.
