Whether you're on a road trip, going to work or visiting someone who just doesn't understand your way of eating, having a low carb snack with you at all times is a pretty good way to avoid hunger-led cheating. I've written on the subject of low-prep snacks before, but the difference with the list here is that these items can be bought from the store (so ZERO preparation) and they are also shelf-stable (or maybe bag-stable!).

So if you're looking for low carb snacks to buy at the grocery store – read on!

12 Store Bought Low Carb Snacks

Meat Sticks (Slim Jims, Jack Links etc) – Easy to find in gas stations and supermarkets – these smoked sausages make a great low carb snack on the go! I even found ones the other day with a stick of cheese, too!
Carbs: 1-8g net per serving – most of the plainer flavor options are around 2g net carbs

Pork rinds – Available in ready-to-eat-bags, these crunchy snacks are fairly high in fat but do not contain any carbs! Often stocked at supermarkets and gas stations. Or you could go all fancy with gourmet Pork Clouds – available in flavors like Rosemary and Sea salt, Cinnamon Ceylon and Habanero!
Carbs: 0g!

Moon Cheese – I have recently discovered this amazing snack! Look out for it in Starbucks or buy an assortment pack from Amazon or read more about them in my 50 Reasons Why It's Moon Cheese Time article!
Carbs: 0g

Olives – I've seen these in little cups (Olives to Go!) and also handy sachets (Mario). Both types offer different varieties of olives and all are pitted, with no brine!
Carbs: 1-3g net per pack

Jerky – This rich and tasty snack is available in several types of meats and flavorings. Check the carb content – I’ve seen quite a range! Jerky isn’t the cheapest snack but it sure tastes good! Note – it is recommended that you refrigerate the bags after opening. Definitely check out this Zero Sugar Jerky that you can buy from Amazon!
Carbs: 1-8g net carbs per 1oz serving

Nuts – Pecans, walnuts, almonds and macadamias are some of the lowest in carbs (see this table for full details). Depending on the mixture, 100 calorie snack packs of nuts can contain as little as 1-2g net carbs per pack.
Carbs: 1.1 – 8.4g net carbs per 1oz of dry roasted, depending on variety

Atkins – You can buy all kinds of low carb goodies from the Atkins Nutritionals range from pharmacies and the diet section of grocery stores (usually near the protein powder!). Here are three of my favorites: Chocolate Candies (they really are a good substitute for M&Ms and there is also a peanut version!), Strawberry Almond Bar and Chocolate Chip Granola Bar. I usually have at least one of these in my purse at all times!
Carbs: Various, check the nutritional data for each item.

Seeds – Sunflower seeds and pumpkin seeds (also known as pepitas) are the most readily available. As usual, check the carb count but a very filling serving of ¼ cup is great for a snack – and often can be found in convenience stores too.
Carbs: Pumpkin seeds approx. 1g net carbs, Sunflower seeds approx. 3-4g net carbs per ¼ cup serving.

Roasted Seaweed Snacks – As well as being readily available in Asian supermarkets – many big grocery stores stock them too! They also come in a variety of flavors! The wasabi style from Annie Chun's is one of my favorites!
Carbs: 2g net per pack

Quest Nutrition Protein Bars – These are available in some amazing flavors! Sold at The Vitamin Shoppe, diet sections of some supermarkets, and I've even seen them in Bed, Bath & Beyond! They are REALLY filling and I love getting a big variety pack and picking out my favorites!
Carbs: 3-7g net carbs per bar, depending on flavor

Kale Chips – Not the cheapest option when it comes to low carb snacks – but they are fast becoming popular and available in a lot of flavors from different brands in supermarkets, often in the gluten-free aisle. Or of course you can buy them (like everything!) from Amazon!  I also a recipe for Homemade Kale Chips with Parmesan.
Carbs: Always check nutritional data before buying as there is quite a range here. Average is about 7g net carbs per serving.

Freeze Dried Fruit – I haven't mentioned many sweet snacks in this collection – and unsweetened freeze dried fruit is definitely trickier to find in stores. Luckily there are fabulous online stores like LC Foods that sell handy snack packs like this amazing Chocolate Chip Raspberry Snack Pack!
Carbs: Various. Snack pack mentioned above contains 4g net carbs.

Update – here are two new additions!

Epic Bars – Chicken, beef, bison, venison, bacon – this company takes meat snacks to a whole new level! Try the variety pack from Amazon.

Fiber One Chocolate Brownies – Available in six flavors, and they're 5g net carbs each. Widely available in grocery stores!
