Low Carb Snacks: 38 Options Ranked by Protein
Snacks with 20g of carbs or less per 100g for lower-carb ways of eating. Ranked by protein per 100g — tap any snack for the full breakdown.
"Low carb" and "keto" aren't the same thing, and it's the most common mix-up on this topic. We define low carb as 20g of carbs or less per 100g — a broader, easier-to-hit threshold that suits most reduced-carb diets (Atkins, low-GI, general carb-cutting). Keto is stricter: 10g of carbs or less per 100g, because a true ketogenic diet needs total daily carbs low enough to trigger ketosis, not just a lower-carb snack choice. Every snack below meets the 20g low-carb threshold; the ones also tagged Keto meet the tighter 10g bar too — check our dedicated keto snacks list if that's specifically what you need.
