Keto diet weight loss at fast food restaurants? Memorize these 2 words
First up, there are two simple words keto dieters need to remember at any fast food restaurant: “No bun.”
In general, ordering a sandwich at a fast food restaurant automatically means the carbohydrates will be high because of the buns or bread, points out Healthline.
Typical burger meals from fast-food restaurants are high in carbs due to their buns. Request a burger without the bun and toppings such as ketchup. Instead, enjoy a fried egg, avocado, and/or mayonnaise for a keto version of a burger.

For an egg breakfast, consider everything from an Egg McMuffin (skip the muffin) to Steak, Eggs, & Cheese Biscuit (avoid the biscuit).

Burgers abound at the Golden Arches. Consider the Triple Cheeseburger, for example. Tell them to hold the bun and ketchup, and you’ll chow down on three beef patties and two slices of cheese for a keto-approved meal.
Keto diet weight loss at Taco Bell
If Taco Bell is your fave fast food, you can find plenty of keto choices, according to PopSugar.
For example, you can order a Fiesta Taco Salad in a bowl rather than the usual fried tortilla shell. Request that they omit the rice, black beans, and tortilla strips and substitute more sour cream and cheese.
If you’re in need of breakfast and like it spicy, request a Grande Scrambler in a bowl. Skip the burrito and potatoes and dig into the scrambled eggs, cheese, sour cream, and pico de gallo.
Keto diet weight loss at Chick-fil-A
Cluck your way over to Chick-fil-A for a protein-packed, keto diet-approved menu. The Chicken Wire revealed that the options include a Grilled Chicken or Club Sandwich without the bun, Grilled Nuggets, or Cobb Salad with Grilled Chicken.
For breakfast, consider an Egg White Grill without the English muffin or Bacon, Egg & Cheese Biscuit without the biscuit.
