Follow these simple tips to create your own keto snack:

  • A good keto snack is typically low in carbs, high in fat, or both. In general, no more than 10g of total carbs per snack is a good starting point.
  • When it comes to fat, more is usually better for a keto diet. This is because our bodies use fat as the primary source of energy while in ketosis. A fatty snack would usually add up to around 15-20g of fat. 
  • Moderate amounts of protein can make the snack more filling and nutritious. However, don’t go overboard because too much protein can kick you out of ketosis. Try to stick to around 10-15 g of protein per snack. 
  • Before prepping your snacks, plan your meals first. This way, you can use the snacks to fill in any nutrient gaps. 

Note: A common macronutrient breakdown for the ketogenic diet is 75-80% of daily calories from fat, 15-20% from protein, and 5% from carbohydrates. On a 2000 calorie/day diet, this equates to around 167-178 g fat, 25 g carbs,  and 100 g protein. Consult with your doctor to determine if the keto diet is appropriate for you.
