10 Best Low-Carb Snack Choices

Broccoli

Broccoli is a superfood packed with many nutrients. These include vitamin A, vitamin C, calcium, folate, selenium, phosphorus, and potassium. One cup of raw broccoli provides around 6 g of carbohydrates, 2.6 g of protein, and 0 g of fat. You can eat this veggie raw or cooked. Both options are perfectly healthy, but they may give you different nutrient profiles. Most cooking methods, including steaming, stir-frying, microwaving, and boiling, change its nutrient composition, especially on vitamin C levels. Steaming seems to have the fewest effects. Still, broccoli is a good low-carb snack that you should add to your diet. [4]
