It is a whole grain, good source of fiber, and low calorie. While not low carb, it isn’t high carb either and you can eat a pretty large serving for little calories

3 cups of air popped popcorn:

93 calories
4 grams fiber
18 grams carb

14 net carbs for a snack is pretty high, better than chips but not low carb

But it isn’t processed, is a good source of fiber, whole grain, and low calorie. Unless there is a specific reason you MUST maintain a very low carb level, air popped popcorn is a great snack for general good health and weight loss or maintain

Ok great. For those of us who must maintain a low carb level for medical reasons, what would you recommend?

Pickles! 4 types in my fridge right now.

I love all the salty dried veggies. Trader Joes has crispy onions, dried snappeas, Costco has really good dried mushrooms and broccoli. They're surprisingly flavorful and crunchy.

Type 1 diabetics may need low carb snacks.

Whisps or other crunchy cheese snacks
(I like Parmesan flavors)

Turkey pepperoni, bake on a piece of foil in the oven to make crispy

Pickles, but not really the same as a crunchy chip!

Almond are a lower carb nut

Pop Chips and Pop corners are lower carb than most chips

Not crispy, but low carb
Cheese squares/string cheese
Clio yogurt mini bars
Watermelon

I don’t like my meals to be too meat heavy so I can’t waste 14 net carbs on snacks like popcorn. It doesn’t matter that it’s not processed.

Yeah, No. If I'm trying to stay under 50 carbs ideally, and under 100 logically, then that seems pretty high.

Quest - 4 net carbs. These are my favorite.

Watermelon? I know it is a low carb fruit, comparatively, but it is 12 g carbohydrates/cup.
