Looking for great Ketosis Snacks? We’ve got you covered! We love to snack and when you’re trying to stay in ketosis snacking can be a great thing!
Getting into ketosis and staying in can be a tricky thing for busy people. As a work from home mom even I struggle with ketosis snacks. I am always looking for snacks that are quick and easy to make and grab while I’m working. I usually leave room for at one to two snacks per day.
Snacks can play a critical role in your overall nutrition and can help you meet your macros where your three meals a day may miss the mark.

Meal planning is vital when living the keto lifestyle so take some time each week to make a game plan and prepare a menu plan that works with your macro goals. Every person is different, and each one of you will need different amounts of fats and protein so I will include an exhaustive list of various snacks that meet different macronutrient needs.

For those of you who work outside the house finding the snacks that are portable is a must. I would rather not cook while I’m working, but I do have the option. You, on the other hand, don’t have that luxury.
That’s why I wanted to put together this list for you. If you work away from home, try to set aside one day a week to prep your snacks. While there are many delicious foods you can grab from the grocery store and eat on the go, that will get old quickly. The thing you need to remember about the keto diet is that it’s a lifestyle, not a short-term change or yo-yo diet. If you want to stick with it, you need to be prepared to make changes to your lifestyle as a whole.

Once you set aside a meal prep day and get into a routine it will become second nature (I promise).
Note: When purchasing snacks from the list below, please remember to check each brand and look at the following:
- Carb Count (the lowers the better)
- Sugar (aim for 0 grams)
- Fat (the higher the better)
- PreservativesWhen shopping, I look at the nutrition information of every single brand before making my purchase and you should too! Sometimes you may have to bend a little bit, for the most part, it’s not too hard to stick to these guidelines.
Also, when it comes to foods that have nitrates limit your consumption. When at all possible purchase nitrate-free products.

What about peanut butter? I'm a diabetic, so I keep it at home and the office.

Hi Judith! 1 cup of air-popped corn has about 6 net carbs so yes, you can have popcorn!
