Typically you're swapping flour for almond flour and sugar for erythritol.
I'm in France, so the only time I've seen beef jerky in my life was when some dude I used to know brought some from the US. Furthermore, I'm really not sure if we have anything similar over here.
Note, I said I wasn't doing keto (never have) so I don't specifically look for no-carb options. I just realize that those foods are more like "cravings", so they won't make me eat less during the regular meals. If I want to reduce my calorie intake, I need to cut somewhere. So I usually look into cutting the calories of the snacks. While I love almonds and other dried fruits (and their butter), they typically have a lot of calories. IIRC, pistachios have something like 600 kCals and I can easily eat way too many.
I usually tend to buy protein bars from a sporting goods store, which have the benefit of making me feel full after one or two, and make me eat noticeably less at the following meal. But said store is quite out of my way, so I don't always have those on hand, and they do have a bit too much sugar for my taste.
> Keto diets don’t require you to buy any products or books or take any courses or anything. Just literally read the nutrition facts and eat 20-50 carbs a day.
But that's the issue, isn't it?
Sometimes I feel like changing my usual snack of apples with some kind of biscuit / cookie. It's next to impossible to find anything below 500 kCals / 100 g at my local grocery store. And when I look at the ingredients, there's always a ton of sugar in there.
The only lower-ish processed food I can easily find is sorbet. But that's impractical to deal with at work (we don't have a freezer).
So most of the time, I end up buying nothing if I don't feel like an apple. Why would "big ag" cheer me in going this route?
I should note I'm not even into Keto or anything, just paying attention to how many calories I eat.
