If you’re on the keto diet, you may be wondering if there’s a way to stick to it without having to cook all of your meals all of the time. The good news is that it is entirely possible, and not just at “safe” restaurants. You can always be keto at McDonald’s!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yes, you can eat keto at fast-food joints, like McDonald’s. What you need to know is how to order properly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Though McDonald’s isn’t everyone’s first option for delicious low-carb fast food, it can help you stick to your keto diet when you’re on the go or in a rush.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

McDonald’s, thankfully, has tons of keto options. You don’t have to sacrifice your weight-loss advantages just because you’re traveling or on a budget. We’ll go through the best low-carb choices at McDonald’s so you can stay on track with your keto diet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keto Bunless Burgers at McDonald’s<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Simply ask for lettuce instead of the bun. It’s a fantastic bun substitute that saves about 30 grams of carbs and 180 calories!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When the bun is removed, almost all of the burger options can easily be converted to a ketogenic diet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you order a sandwich without a bun, it is usually served in a plastic container for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These values were all calculated plain, with no bun. These are all choices from the McDonald’s menu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Breakfast Drink Options<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Traditional breakfast drinks can surprise you with their carb content: a cup of orange juice has almost 26 grams of carbs, and eight ounces of whole milk has almost 12 grams of net carbs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The \u201csugar-free\u201d coffee flavorings at McDonald’s can also throw your ketosis off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although the sugar-free flavoring contains no net carbs (only 2g of sugar alcohols), all McDonald’s iced coffees also contain cream and milk, which can add up to 9g of carbs to your beverage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stick to hot, black coffee or order an iced coffee without cream or milk if you just want a coffee drink with your keto breakfast (and, preferably, no flavorings or sweetener, as sugar alcohols can sometimes impact blood sugar levels).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
