Satisfying the Munchies the Low-Carb Way
It’s important to have access to nutritious low-carb snack food so that if you get hungry between meals you won’t reach for crackers and chips.
Ideally, a low-carb snack should have protein, healthy fat, and some fiber (so the best thing would be to have some raw veggies with your eggs or jerky).
