Snacking can be a tricky thing when living the low-carb lifestyle.  What do you eat? In our high-carb days we ate chips, candy, french fries, cookies…. the list could go on and on. Most snack foods marketed to the general public are awful nutritional choices. Low-carbers find it difficult sometimes to find a snack that doesn’t require cooking or refridgerator. Not exactly practical considering we all don’t spend a majority of our time at home. And if we do spend lots of time at home, life generally keeps us busy enough that we have little time to stop and cook up a snack.
