Trying to eat healthier, (edit for me this means lower sugar, less carbs, more protein) and it seems like everything that is sweet, sweet-ish, or a snack but also sold as healthy has peanuts or is peanuts. I’m not allergic to it, but I am tired of peanut butter cookies, peanuts in a snack bar, peanuts on their own, peanuts in a snack mix.

    unless you’re willing to make your own jerky, there really isnt anything on the market like that. low/no sugar + low/no carbs + high protein is a niche market.

    DIY or just stop snacking.

      Hmm, jerky. Yeah, the cheap stuff is just candy with questionable beef in it, the good stuff is either expensive or home made… That might be the snacking goal to strive for, home made jerky so it can be good and good for me.

        You can make large batches of beef jerky relatively easily, the trickiest part is getting your beef sliced thinly enough

          yeah. you really have to buy a commercial kitchen grade slicer - and probably a dedicated dehydration rack unless you’re fine with using your oven for days.

            Days? It takes me just a couple of hours per batch. The oven is less energy efficient but MUCH faster than a food dehydrator.

      That’s literally just keto, there absolutely is a market for it. Certainly not as large as the unrestricted snack market, but keto is fairly popular.
