Been having it with Shredded Pork Floss since I was a kid.

These things are AWESOME! The spicy ones are a little to hot for me. I've got a box of the regular ones on my auto order list from Amazon. I go through a 2 boxes a year.

I usually go with eggs. Lots of eggs. Eggs + HWC + veggies + cheese. Bake in the oven and boom. Quiche for days.
Chicken thighs are almost always on sale and you can do a lot with them. Broil with low cab BBQ sauce, slow cook a curry, bread with pork rinds and fry em up.
This barrel is HUGE and much cheaper than buying 1oz bags at the grocer.
I also buy a lot of ground beef because it's versatile. Tacos, chili, just seasoned over cauli rice, mixed into (you guessed it) eggs.
Get the kind you make fresh in the microwave.
Just look on amazon, you can buy in big bulk bags or single serving bags like popcorn. Eat them immediately after making when they’re still popping and cracking. They get less delicious as they sit and get stale.
The spicy flavor of these is the best I’ve had so far:
Lowrey's Bacon Curls Microwave Pork Rinds (Chicharrones), Original, 1.75 Ounce (Pack of 18) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000UPFWW6/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_8AnXBbWJ3ZAZP
Utz Pork Rinds
Ingredients: pork skin & salt
Are you referring to Lowrey’s? Lowry’s is the season salt company.
Anyway, I’m a huge chicharrone lover but have never come across a variety that you microwave. I’ll have to check these out, thanks.
I take pork rinds (these are AWESOME), jerky or almonds. The pork rinds let me feel like I'm having something popcorny without the popcorn.
I'm sensitive to histamines, but don't seem to have a problem with them. However, I also only eat these: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002O5QWD8/ and not the packaged bags from stores.
You're welcome:

Awesome tip!
Perhaps in our emails we should include some low carb products that they already carry to make the "browse path" appear more necessary/useful.
Some possible examples..

Ocean spray diet cranberry grape juice.
Halo top ice cream (chocolate chip cookie dough) or Lucerne "watch'n carbs" [sic] chocolate coated vanilla ice cream bar if I'm really hankering for a sweet treat.
I get this brand.
It's like a popcorn bag except the pork rinds don't exactly "pop" but they expand. Good way to store them without taking up too much space like a regular ready-to-eat pork rinds in a large bag.
The spicy ones are delicious and super filling. Very low calories per serving and per bag (60 calories per serving, or 210 for the entire bag). Good if you're doing some kind of low-carb diet like keto. Probably not good for replacing a meal but as a snack, it's a saviour.
You can get creative with them :P I microwave them in the bag, smash them into little pieces, and use it as "breading" for fish, beef, or more pork, and then bake it. It cuts the amount of calories from usual breading by at least 50%.

Ha =) well this diet will test your will power that's for sure. But it gets a lot easier as you learn what works for you.
I am glad you made it here. Most IBDers don't think they can only eat meat and survive and therefore never try. I have only anecdotal evidence but from what I have seen lots of them would benefit from it.
Few tips to start off:

Bro, I'm about to change your life.
I can't go back to regular pork rinds after these.
Pork rinds are an acquired taste. I'm a big fan of chili lime flavored and salt and vinegar (and a store near me sells sriracha flavored which are pretty great). I like to crush up the BBQ or spicy flavored and use them to shake and bake chicken. And the Lowrey's microwavable pork rinds are great popcorn replacement
I love those little summer sausage bites: http://www.johnsonville.com/products/beef-deli-bites.html

Other than that, maybe individual sized packs of nuts, string cheeses, little sample jars of fancy nut butters (or like those squeeze packs of Justin's Almond Butter).
Congrats on the whole family getting on board. That's great.

Have you ever tried the microwave pork rinds? They smell awesome and they sizzle when you take the bag out.

My son is the T1 but my husband and I are Keto also. Here are some fav snacks/foods:
Lowrey’s Microwave Pork Rinds: 0 net carbs. I hate bagged pork rinds but love these. We eat them with cheddar dip or guacamole usually. One bag makes about the same as the regular pre-bagged kind.
Mission Low Carb Tortillas: 4 net carbs. You can make your own low carb chips by brushing with oil and baking in the oven. Or make some wraps with your favorite meats and cheeses.
Blue Diamond Flavored Almonds: 3 net carbs (about 14 almonds) We love the wasabi, bbq, and chocolate.
Schmidt 647 Bread: 6 net carbs per slice. It’s indistinguishable from regular sandwich bread. We like the Italian the best.
Lily’s Chocolate: 4 net carbs for 1/2 bar. For when you have a sweet tooth.
Popcorn: 11 net carbs for 1/3 of a large microwave bag (about 4 cups) We use this instead of chips in my son’s lunch. I’ve read that it can spike some people so YMMV.
Veggies and dip: blue cheese, ranch, and Italian dressings are usually low carb.
Strawberries: about 2 net carbs per berry.
Lunch meats and cheeses, bacon, boiled eggs: <2 net carbs
A barrel of Pork Rinds!
Sort of, yes. Mail-order but worth it. Microwave Bacon Curls AKA pork rinds but way better- here's the Amazon link.
(though this sounds delicious to try as well: http://www.amazon.com/Fried-Pork-Rinds-Mixed-1-75oz/dp/B000G671SM )
I mainly hide them because my husband doesn't eat pork for religious and cultural traditions. He grew up in an Islamic country (and is Muslim) so he has the mindset that pork is disgusting. We can get (expensive) delicious beef bacon... but I tend to only eat pepperoni at work, hide pork rinds, etc. so he isn't turned off by it. He'd be okay with it but it just feels like the nice thing to do.
Fried pork skin, possibly because the traditional hot sand method of production isn't as convenient.

Btw- they are crunchy as fuck as the complaints say...but that's why I like them. Like a perfect kettle cooked chip replacement. And get them at a Hispanic store for much better price. I pay like 1.50.

Microwavable pork rinds, fresh every time. Cheese drying to make cheesy puff crackery bites that taste like cheezits. Sugar free jello mousse: 4oz softened cream cheese, 1/4c cream, 2Tbsp powdered sweetener, 2-1/4tsp sugar free jello powder blended, divide into 2 to 4 portions and refrigerate. Try raspberry with unsweetened coconut and slivered almonds or dark cherry blended with a few lily's chocolate chips, or orange flavor and cocoa powder, etc. Good for a special occasion dessert.

The salt & pepper ones are my fav. The maple cracklings are decadent. BBQ is okay but salt & pepper goes with more dips.

The worst smell I've ever experienced was burnt microwave pork rinds
I've worked in an open pit coal mine where coal would experience spontaneous combustion. I've spent time in a slaughterhouse.

Lowrey's Microwave Pork Rinds
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000UPFWW6
One of my staples. It's easy to eat a lot of calories though, so I always portion them out rather than eating from a big container. They can't be your sole source of protein, but that seems unlikely to be a problem.
There's no reason they need to contain sugar or carbs of any kind. I get plain ones and then put powdered cheese, ranch, etc., flavor on them if I feel like it.
http://amzn.com/B001YJ2VOO
No, though I’m sure those would work if you wanted the “base” to be hot and spicy. These are the ones I use:

There's science behind the issue with the protein quality being poor and including the warning is an FDA requirement (see below).
I've never actually seen the label in person. Here's an example.
> When the protein in foods represented or purported to be for adults and children 4 or more years of age has a protein quality value that is a protein digestibility-corrected amino acid score of less than 20 expressed as a percent, or when the protein in a food represented or purported to be for children greater than 1 but less than 4 years of age has a protein quality value that is a protein digestibility-corrected amino acid score of less than 40 expressed as a percent, either of the following shall be placed adjacent to the declaration of protein content by weight: The statement "not a significant source of protein," or a listing aligned under the column headed "Percent Daily Value" of the corrected amount of protein per serving, as determined in paragraph (c)(7)(ii) of this section, calculated as a percentage of the Daily Reference Value (DRV) or Reference Daily Intake (RDI), as appropriate, for protein and expressed as a Percent of Daily Value. When the protein quality in a food as measured by the Protein Efficiency Ratio (PER) is less than 40 percent of the reference standard (casein) for a food represented or purported to be specifically for infants through 12 months, the statement "not a significant source of protein" shall be placed adjacent to the declaration of protein content. Protein content may be calculated on the basis of the factor 6.25 times the nitrogen content of the food as determined by the appropriate method of analysis as given in the "Official Methods of Analysis of the AOAC International," except when official AOAC procedures described in this paragraph (c)(7) require a specific factor other than 6.25, that specific factor shall be used.

I'm in South Florida, so I NEED to find a store that does them fresh. I know they're here somewhere! I've also considered getting the ones you pop yourself, like these guys.
I find if you use enough guacamole, even sub-par pork rinds are pretty good. =)
They're a great chip substitite when you want something crunchy.
I have a bunch of of flavor powders like these so I can make then taste however I want as they tend to come come in plain, spicy and sometimes BBQ

I ordered these and they're pretty good. I also started brushing low carb tortillas with olive oil, cutting them into chips and baking them until they crisp up. Depending on the brand the carbs can add up but they're pretty filling with cheese and pepperoni so I don't wind up eating too many.
Microwave Pork Rinds soaked in German butter with a little Cholula dripped in there. This is especially great when we don't have time to cook or I feel cravings coming on.
I am not too great at cooking meat, so my keto journey has become all about the lazy snack food. Amazon has a ton of things that are simultaneously low calorie and low carb - Here's some of my favorites:
Have you tried [Lowrey's] (http://www.amazon.com/Lowreys-microwave-chicharrones-original-1-75-Ounce/dp/B000UPFWW6/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1409055637&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=pork+rinds)? They're salty enough that I use them as my main salt component in nachos and stuff, but I do like them enough. Maybe you'll find they're less salty than your brands.
Have you tried the microwave pork rinds yet? I can't find them where I live, but Amazon sells them.
https://www.amazon.com/Lowreys-Original-Microwave-Chicharrones-Package/dp/B000UPFWW6/ref=sr_1_2_a_it?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1473210918&amp;sr=8-2&amp;keywords=microwave%2Bpork%2Brinds
There's r/snackexchange ....in the US we can get bags of "un-puffed" (idk how else to describe lol) pork skins that you microwave for $1 usd, they're just like making microwave popcorn! Maybe you can see if someone is willing to send you some? Not sure if they're available this way on amazon for you, idk how that works, just trying to be helpful :)
EDIT: link for said pork rinds
They may go stale fairly fast. I buy these and love them.
Have you seen the microwavable ones? Dollar General has them is what I've been told. They are stupid good. Faux-tatoes are ok especially if you add bacon and cheese.
You really should try the microwave pork rinds - they are a completely different animal than the bagged ones (which I also like). I get them by the box full from Amazon, but I've also seen them at some local grocery and discount stores. They are usually by the microwave popcorn.

At least you're snacking on Keto foods! Is it possible to adjust your daytime eating down a little bit to allow for a nighttime snack? Or try IF. I find it a lot easier to control my intake if I'm doing IF and therefore aren't eating until later in the day. Also try and remember that it'll all average out. There will be days you'll eat below your limit, and days you'll go over, but as long as the scale is trending down and you're eating the right foods, don't stress yourself too much.
Oh, and if you haven't already discovered microwavable pork rinds (think Keto popcorn), get thee to Amazon (assuming you like pork rinds).

I had the same issue with Doritos. But I learned to knock off their recipe for myself. I now make a Dorito style dip with greek yogurt. I'll have it on carrot sticks or radish slices. Or even pork rinds. It's not as easy as burying your face in a bag... but when you have control of all the knobs on the machine you end up a winner.
The hardest part about Dorito's is that a large ingredient is actually tomato powder. But Amazon can help.
https://www.amazon.com/Harmony-House-Foods-Tomato-Powder/dp/B0039QS496/ref=sr_1_4_a_it?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1501507313&amp;sr=8-4&amp;keywords=tomato%2Bpowder&amp;th=1
they have smaller sizes too.
Also: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002O5QWD8/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1
they're crunchy, bacony, sugar free and actually have 9g of protein for a serving.
Try these microwave pork rinds instead. They are so much better when fresh.
Also, I think pork rinds on their own are pretty gross, but as a vehicle for dip they are amazing! Jalapeño artichoke or spinach dip, guacamole, and basically any kind of cheesy dip are keto friendly and pork rinds are the perfect delivery device.

When it comes to crunchy snacking there is no equal as far as carbs maybe oven baked cheese chips?
These don't have the same macros (more protein than fat) but they are good in a pinch.
https://www.amazon.com/Lowreys-Original-Bacon-Curls-1-75-Ounce/dp/B000UPFWW6
Also, I usually try to even out the macros and dip in mayo or throw some butter over them and treat them like popcorn.
Either way... they're delicious.
You can also get them on Amazon and sometimes you can stack a coupon with S&S.

At first I was nervous about the MSG, but then I read up on MSG and found that my fears were unfounded. There are plenty of other brands on and off amazon, though, so you can avoid the MSG if you're worried.

Pork Rinds. Cheap and tasty, but some people don't like the flavor. I sometimes put a few handfuls in a plastic bag and shake in some BBQ rub. Delicious!

Pork Clouds (specifically the rosemary flavor).
Pricey, but clean and delightful.

This seems like a solid snack choice - pork clouds - and at $1.50 a bag. Does anyone know of any better/cheaper alternatives?
Here you go.
I adapted this recipe. Partially because I am allergic to dairy products (which sucks on keto but whatever) and partially because I wanted to add my own flair.
According to MFP, it is 672 calories (with 8 oz chicken), 41.5g fat, 67.5g protein, 8g total carbs, and 1g net carbs.

https://www.amazon.com/4505-Chicharrones-Fried-Rinds-Classic/dp/B01NA70MF3
These are great.
But be careful they can be addicting and go almost too quickly. Only 2 ingredients, prok rinds and salt.
I have yet to find a low carb brownie recipe that is actually close enough to the real thing to make it worthwhile. However, I do love make chocolate whipped cream. Just add coco powder to heavy whipping cream with your favorite artificial sweetener and blend until fluffy. You can also add cream cheese to make it more of a cheesecake type of thing. If I add cream cheese I usually also add natural peanut butter to make a [mousse] (http://www.yummly.com/recipe/5-Minute-Peanut-Butter-Mousse-Low-Carb-and-Gluten-Free-540020?columns=5&amp;position=3%2F13). Definitely helps with the PMS cravings.
My favorite chip replacement is pork rinds. They are so good with sour cream or just on their own. I get this kind.

Judges? We also would have accepted microwaved pork rinds. These are delicious. When I first tried them my friend asked me how they were, I said they were the best microwaved pork rinds I had ever tasted.
Can't believe these were never posted here...
They come in Hot & Spicy too.

I was so skeptical too, but i love these! when i had the Bakenets or whatever from the grocery store i thought they were pretty gross and almost gave up on the pork rinds idea, until someone in this sub suggested the Lowrey's! I keep any extra that i don't eat (like the small bits that aren't good for dipping) in a sealed container so that later i can crush them up and use them in recipes that replace bread crumbs with crushed pork rinds
I don't know man; you ever try these?

They make store bought rinds taste like a crusty bath towel. Hot, crispy rinds with a dip made of sour cream base or even whipped cream cheese (yes, you can buy it pre-whipped at the store) cannot be beat.

They're so great for dips/spreads. Depending on where you live you can buy them in a variety of flavors.
Here are some flavor examples.
These are my favorite but way too pricy.
Carolina gold nuggets, Microwavable pork rinds off Amazon. You get a fresh, hot plate of pork rinds any time you want them and you can flavor them any way you choose. Basically any powdered seasoning that you fancy does the trick, you can use them as dippers for things and I know some people that use hot sauces, but I find that makes them chewy and isn't my thing.
you can also cook them in the oven, which may be better, but I've not found the need and don't care to wait for my crispy skins.

You're welcome! i just ordered it :)
I get mine online, try these out. The price works out to less than $1 per bag with like three servings...or if you're like me, one.

If you really can't find them anywhere, Amazon stock them. They even have the pub style packaging so you can stick them up on the wall for some crazy pork themed decor.

I have tried them, if you like pork rinds you will like these.
Two minutes in the microwave and you have hot rinds.
They do not pop like popcorn so adjust your cooking time accordingly.

I’m in California so they are everywhere. Amazon has these:

I never thought about pumpkin seeds. That's a good one, too! I also agree that nothing really can replace popcorn, and popcorn was a frequent snack. However, I've been buying these microwavable pork rinds from Amazon, and it's the closest thing you're going to get to popcorn, and they're really good because they're nice and warm and crunchy, similar to popcorn.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000UPFWW6/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_ioL7CbKEJDQCW
Order these the spicy variety, they're delicious and cheaper per bag than any puffed brand I've bought
Carolina Gold Nuggets. I like having warm pork rinds just 2 minutes away.
Please tell me you got Lowrey’s Microwavable Spicy Pork Curls! They’re THEE best. But, FYI, like 1-in-8 bags will just burn and not pop at all. Still worth fresh pork rinds!
These are the ones I buy, though sometimes the quality is a bit off https://www.amazon.com/dp/B002O5QWD8 — the last package has a lot of very small pieces in it, and I’ve gotten a couple of batches that weren’t salted. Despite all that, I eat a lot of them.

Is that close enough?
Is it a paste or crumbles of that pork stuff?
I recently hopped on the chicharrónes craze too. I buy mine off Amazon, a 5lb bag of the actual pork skin, which you either microwave or bake yourself to puff up.
One thing to remember is that they're not a significant source of protein. That brand I use shows 9g per serving, but I've been researching the validity of this claim and apparently the protein in pork rinds aren't "bio-available" to us because it's not a complete protein or something; basically I don't count it towards my macros.
I order the ones that you puff up in the microwave from Amazon. That way they are fresh - I have plain & spicy ones.

The link above is packed 12- 1.65oz bags. I got 12 and that’s the correct link per boyfriend :)
I recommend these: Lowreys
You microwave them like popcorn.
Pork Clouds
Kinda pricey, but damn tasty. I even made my friend who insisted that pork rinds were absolutely disgusting take a bag of the rosemary and sea salt ones home with her to try, she texted me relenting that these actually were very good and it surprised her.
You can get these at the dollar store where I'm at. Keto popcorn.
They were probably stale. Not a big market for them where you are. There is an online store for Utz you will have to contact them to see about Canada shipping. I hope they can help you. Also Amazon here, but these prices are steep for something you may not like. The Utz store sells by the case, but you can mix and match flavors.
The ones I buy don't drop crumbs. They're little pellets that you microwave and they puff up like popcorn, and the flavor is neutral/salty so they're great for dips.

I get the great big huge barrels of Utz from Costco. The ingredients, "pork rinds, salt" and are generally OK. I sometimes have them with cream cheese or nacho cheese/queso.
Sometimes you get the perfect crisp, sometimes you get the slightly harder-to-bite, sometimes you get the weird little puffs, but I haven't gotten any of the tooth-cracking chunks I've found in other brands, so generally Utz has been my go-to.
Amazon carries them as well - Link - I can't remember Costco's price, but I'm pretty sure it's cheaper.
So... apparently you have not found this yet....

I've found that it can be very hit or miss as to whether or not all the rinds pop up like they should.
Pork Rinds are my go-to crispy meat item. I'm quickly becoming addicted.
The Lowrey's microwave ones are mind blowing. Link
These are the best pork rinds. Since they're warm they're satisfying on their own: https://www.amazon.com/Lowreys-Bacon-Microwave-Chicharrones-Original/dp/B000UPFWW6/ref=olp_product_details?_encoding=UTF8&me=

I've bought http://www.amazon.com/Lowreys-microwave-chicharrones-original-1-75-Ounce/dp/B000UPFWW6 Lowreys brand before. Not bad taste, but when those stay hard they will break your teeth.
I been meaning to try something like www.amazon.com/Carolina-Gold-Nuggets-Microwave-Original/dp/B003EFJTS2 Like a 5 lb bulk back, but I dunno.
Pork Clouds are my favorite so far. They are not perfect, but the chicken bone to cloud ratio is tolerable for me. I personally prefer these to Utz, especially with plain and flavored cream cheese as a dip.

Some people rave about the pork clouds.

Some other ideas:
Low Carber here. Pork rinds, they have lots of bacon options these days including bacon jerky, wax covered cheese is usually ok, summer sausage, pepperoni, flavored almonds (if no nut allergy), seaweed snacks, dark chocolate, and sugar free candy.
Be careful with jerky, double check for added sugars with the flavoring.
I don't mind pork rinds myself, but I can see why some people (like my husband) don't like the taste of the typical brands like Bakenets and Mission. I recently tried the Lowreys brand ones that you pop yourself in the microwave thanks to recs from this subreddit, and I agree that they taste a lot better! They actually taste a bit popcorn-y imo! Husband approved as well :) maybe try these?

My favorite are the microwave ones. Here they are on Amazon https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B010Q33ONU/ .
You can put cheese on them, use them as replacement for chips/crackers, smash them up for breading. I love putting dill pickle seasoning on them. YUM!
we have them in most the stores where i live but none of them sell the plain ones that don't have spices or MSG. but they are on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001YJ2VOO/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s02?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1
and then there are these - the kind you bake off yourself: https://www.etsy.com/listing/177691085/carolina-gold-nuggets-5lb-value-bag?ref=shop_home_active_6
between the two, the finished product is exactly the same. maybe the Etsy ones are a little bit more lively as they are just popped.
The Carolina nuggets on Amazon are way way way better. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B002O5QWD8

Chef Piggy Tail sells similar microwavable ones as well, but flavored if you're into that.
Microwave them on a paper plate rather than ceramic so that they fully puff up.
Here is the mobile version of your link
Check out pork clouds on amazon although it seems the seller that had it on prime is sold out...
I actually really like these even more than the bacon curls. I find that the microwave bags don't cook them as evenly and there's always too many for me to eat in one sitting. Throw a few of the loose nuggets on a paper plate and you're good to go!
man, if you can get these pork rinds, one bag is 210 cals, 7g fat, 4g carb, and 35g protein. that'll help you hit your goal pretty easily. they're also DELICIOUS.
I'm kinda late to the party, but I wanted to give you my 2 cents. I absolutely hated pork rinds, even after trying a bunch of different flavors. The texture and flavor was just disgusting to me. But I looked around on this sub and found this: Lowrey's Pork Rinds. They are "fried" right in your own microwave. They come out hot and absolutely delicious. They're salted pretty well, maybe even a bit too much, depending on your tastes (I think they're perfect for a snack).
Before you give up on pork rinds, try Lowrey's. For real. You really won't regret it. It's a bit of a big purchase if you're worried you'll hate them, but I'm pretty happy I took the risk. These are gonna be a staple snack for me on keto.
Got you fam. Trust me.
