Keto protein snacks are snacks that provide high protein + healthy fat + very low carbohydrates. They help control hunger, support muscle maintenance, and fit a ketogenic diet pattern. Keto-friendly snacks usually focus on low-carb foods with adequate fat and moderate protein.

Avoid common "keto" snacks:
❌ Sweetened protein bars
❌ Biscuits labeled keto
❌ Flavored yogurt with sugar
❌ Large portions of nuts
Many packaged snacks marketed as keto can still contain hidden carbs, so checking nutrition labels is important.
If you want, I can also give you a Bangladeshi-style keto protein snack list (with eggs, fish, chicken, nuts, and local ingredients).
