Skip on the full sugar soft drinks – Personally we like to choose a low carb option like Diet Coke or Diet Pepsi.
Watch out for “butter” that’s really margarine- Most of the time we think butter means keto options, however often times the little packets of butter you get are margarine, and the butter “flavor” in meals is actually vegetable oils.
With salads, when in doubt, use olive oil (or oil and vinegar) as dressing and add avocado for healthy fat. You will also want to skip any high carb toppings such as bread, croutons, or candied anything.
Sauces like BBQ, teriyaki, and honey mustard are loaded with sugar — if you’re desperate for extra flavor, ranch dressing is typically the safer choice when ordering keto fast food.
If choosing a side, play it safe with low-carb veggies like cauliflower, asparagus, or mushrooms. You can also ask for something like a chicken salad or side salad.
Check salads for croutons.
Ask for any breaded items (from appetizer to filet) to be grilled instead.
Avoid all bread — yes, even the free stuff before the meal. Sandwiches should be without the bun or wrapped in lettuce to be keto friendly fast food.
Be sure to clearly say “no sauce or ketchup!” Even keto fast food restaurants can slip up sometimes.
