Carbs
I am still new to this, but I have found Mattessons Meateors fill the hole, a smidgen over 5 carbs and just 266 calories. I love em!
 
I found Waitrose Cauliflower & Paneer Bhajis yesterday, 4 in a pack and only 10.3g of Carbs per pack so 2 will suffice.
 
My favourites are small cubes of Double Gloucester and Chives or Applewood smoked cheeses, cut into half-inch squares - I suck them :) also a few spoonfuls of full-fat Greek yoghurt, M+S crispy bacon strips, a few almonds or walnuts, others enjoy berries and cream!

mmm crispy bacon strips.. genius idea..
 
Home made protein balls. About 15g carbs depending how big I make them. Make enough for the week on a Sunday but lucky if they last past Friday.
 
Boursin cheese slightly warmed to soften it with celery sticks to scoop it up. Cheese, sausage, pickles, and hard boiled eggs for a snack or a meal depending on quantity. Bacon jerky, yummmm.
 
Oh I forgot about drumsticks. My favourite picnic lunch - chicken drumstick and container of boiled eggs chopped up with salt and butter.
 
Not quite 5g but Jubbly lollies are 6g if you fancy a sweet, cold treat. £1 for 10
 
I don't really do snacks I have a very small appetite since I have been taking Metformin so as much as I can do to eat two or three meals a day

My favorite low carb food is cottage cheese. I use the low -fat type, either curd. There are 5 carbs. in 1/2 cup. It can be eaten with fruit- all types of berries. and veggies -raw celery, pepper, and any other you can think of. Sometimes I eat it as breakfast w/fruit and covered w/ nuts- usually walnuts and a dollop of light yogurt. Sometimes I eat it as lunch with the veggies or with the fruit (if I didn't eat it for my breakfast.) It is also good as a snack in the afternoon.
