Keto-Friendly Snacks That Will Actually

 That's just one reason the ketogenic diet is becoming popular again—eating all the fat you want sounds like a great thing, right?

But the keto diet also severely restricts the amount of carbohydrates you can eat. Anywhere from 60 to 80 percent of your daily calories come from fat, 5 to 10 percent come from carbs, and the remainder consists of protein— which can affect your body in more ways than one.

In fact, when you go keto, it's typically recommended to eat less than 50 grams of carbohydrates per day, or the equivalent of just two to three apples.

But a big factor that can help you stick to a keto plan? Feeling full. If you’re hungry throughout the day, you’ll likely overeat, which can lead to weight gain over time. Generally, you want to eat a few snacks per day in addition to your meals, depending on your hunger levels. There’s no set number, but aim to fuel your body every 4 to 5 hours.Plus, you still need to eat enough good-for-you nutrients, and enjoying colourful capsicum will help you do just that. “They’re refreshing, crisp, and convenient,” says sports dietitian Jenna Braddock, “Since [capsicum is] portable, you don’t need any prep.”

Three mini capsicums offer just 5 grams of carbs, meaning nine of them would offer the same as most medium sized pieces of fruit. If you can't stand eating them on your own, have them with some mashed avocado.
