Ok. here goes. Fast food without the bun (lower end - McDonald’s, Burger King, etc) usually is NOT a good option because the meat is processed and usually has sugars in it. A chopped salad at subway is a good way to get in your veggies. if you get tomatoes, yellow peppers, etc it’s usually wet enough and doesn’t need dressing. Just ask for protocol veggies (no olives). The meat at subway contains hidden sugars (they actually went in back and brought me out the box it comes in so i can look at nutritional info). Yes, even the rotisserie chicken and grilled chicken contains sugars. Five guys has a burger that they will serve in a lettuce wrap (it’s pure meat). You can add lettuce, tomatoes and onion. But no ketchup (too much sugar). Mustard is a good option. Also, Red Robin will also serve a burger wrapped in lettuce and give unlimited steamed broccoli. Just be sure to ask for no seasoning on the burger. (The seasoning contains sugar). You can add salt and pepper yourself at the table. The unlimited steamed broccoli contains no butter or anything else (it’s a regular item and requires no modification). Another option when out are eggs from a diner - a spinach (or any protocol veggies) and egg omelette (no cheese). Just make sure it’s not ihop - many restaurants like ihop add pancake batter to their eggs to make them fluffy. Just ask. Many restaurants will also do a grilled steak or salmon with steamed veggies on the side. Chili’s and outback have always been good for me. just be specific about no butter or seasonings. Many of the added seasonings they use contain MSG or hidden sugars. Sometimes a local non chain is a better option than a chain because sometimes the veggies at a chain (like Applebee’s) come premade already with butter. In a pinch you can also get a salad off of a salad bar (or buy a bagged salad) at a grocery store and ask for 6 ounces of cooked shrimp at the seafood counter. You can carry around your walden farms when you are on the road. I also have these little prepackaged olive oils that are a little over two teaspoons full. I got them on amazon. It’s great to have that in your purse for in a pinch salad dressing. Stay away from Mexican places - many people say the fajita meat is ok but it almost always is marinated and shot up with sugars. Beef is usually “cleaner” when you are at a restaurant than chicken. Chicken at a restaurant usually contains sugars - especially a chain. Also, sometimes gas stations sell hard boiled eggs and pickles. That’s sometimes a good snack when you are out and about. If you need your protein meal (in a pinch) you can substitute two packets for your protein. Now, you’ll find many people say “I had Burger King off the bun and lost weight”, or “I ate chicken fajita meat weekly”. I’m sure many people did that and were successful. and it’s great that they were . However, everyone eats a different mix of IP foods and veggies and sometimes those extra carbs in the meat can be just enough to kick someone out of ketosis.
