Contoh-contoh snek yang boleh diambil sekiranya mengamalkan diet rendah karbohidrat..
Protein Snacks
Any
type of meat or meat product that your low carb diet allows can be
served as a snack. A slice of meat or turkey, spread with mayonnaise,
mustard or cream cheese, then rolled up makes a convenient snack; you
might try including vegetable or pickle slices inside, or use a piece of
cheese instead and dip the roll in mustard. Wrap slices of cooked
turkey or chicken breast with ranch dressing inside a lettuce leaf. A
handful of cubed ham makes a quick snack. Pepperoni is another great
snack, especially when slowly baked into crisp chips; as with all
processed meats, watch for added sugars and other chemicals. Beef jerky
is a classic low carb snack; choose jerky with little or no added
sugars. Pork rinds can be served by themselves, with cheese or with dip;
microwave pork rinds, freshly cooked, have a wonderful aroma and fresh
taste and are well worth a try. Veteran low carbers even recommend pork
rinds topped with a combination of artificial sweetener and cinnamon.
Boiled shrimp are wonderful on their own or served cold with a low-sugar
cocktail or tartar sauce. Eggs are a good source of protein; boiled
eggs are convenient and portable, and deviled eggs are a wonderful
high-protein snack. A plate of scrambled eggs topped with fresh herbs
and cheese or vegetables make a delicious and hearty snack or light
meal.
Vegetables and Fruit
The
types of vegetables and fruits permitted varies by diet plan. Most low
carb diets allow salads, which make wonderful snacks; watch out for
hidden sugar and starch in salad dressings. Coleslaw made without sugar
is a good vegetable snack as well as a low carb side dish. Vegetables
can be served with a variety of different dips or cheeses. There are a
number of vegetable relishes that can be served as a dip with snacks;
look for pico de gallo and salsa recipes that are low in carbs. Stuffed
mushrooms make a good savory snack. A small dish of berries topped with
sugar-free whipped cream is a good snack or dessert after a low carb
meal. If your plan allows apples, consider fresh apple slices topped
with sugar-free peanut butter, or a baked apple with butter, cinnamon
and artificial sweetener.
Dairy
Many
low carb plans include no-sugar yogurt. You can eat yogurt plain, with
fresh fruit added or with a variety of sugar-free flavorings and
toppings. Cheese is a popular and convenient low carb snack; string
cheese is especially convenient because of its packaging and premeasured
serving size. Cheese can be baked into crisps that can be eaten as is
or with other foods. Whip heavy cream with artificial sweetener and
spoon dollops onto a cookie sheet; place these in the freezer until
firm, and you have a quick snack very much like ice cream. Sugar-free
whipped topping can turn plain sugar-free gelatin into a more enjoyable
snack.
Nuts and Seeds
Most
low carb diets allow nuts and seeds in moderation. While a serving of
nuts or seeds is a wonderful snack, think about nut butters as well.
Cashew butter makes a wonderful topping for a variety of foods, like
celery or even whole grain crackers if your plan allows them, or can
serve as a dip for raw vegetables. Ground raw sunflower kernels can be
baked into delicious low carb crackers. Almond milk can be used a
beverage or to top whole grain cereal. Nut flours, such as almond meal,
can be used to make a variety of foods.
Grain Products
Whether
you can eat grain products or not depends on your diet plan. Look for
whole grain products, high in fiber with no added sugars. Wasa
high-fiber crackers are a good base for tuna or egg salad. Low carb
breads can be used for sandwiches. Low carb tortillas are a good base
for salads or can be used to make rolled snacks. If your diet plan
permits popcorn, consider that as a snack, but watch the salt.
Processed Foods
There
are a number of processed low carb foods, including snack bars.
Processed foods can bring variety to your low carb lifestyle, but not
all of them are good choices. Read the label carefully, looking for carb
sources such as maltodextrin and sugar alcohols, and as much as you
can, choose "real" food over chemicals. Here are some processed foods
you might want to try: sugar-free flavoring syrups, reduced carb grain
products, sugar-free beverage mixes and mixers, sugar-free condiments
and sugar-free candy.
