Trying to stay keto while on vacation or travelling can be difficult. These are my favorite options to order when we eat fast food. Of course, some of these will be higher in carbs and not the cleanest options but when you are in a pinch it works.

Just because packaged food say’s “keto” doesn’t mean it is. Read ingredients.

[@CarbageMan]

Yup, I've become almost completely adverse to eating outside food, mostly _because_ I read labels an dmost of it is such crap. Sometimes, maybe it's easy to fast until you get somewhere it's "safe" to eat. I feel almost orthorexic, but I know it's them, not me.

[@kristiedentice7030]

Exactly! I've been doing keto for bout 4 months now, & ya, I read the labels, & learned a lot than what they tell you up front

[@sharondoan1447]

Early on in the process of changing how I eat, I was not very sophisticated about the absolute need to read ingredients on the labels. Keto doesn’t mean it actually is okay to eat. Shocking that prepackaged foods are lawfully allowed to stick a “ Keto” or “ Keto Friendly “ label on just about anything at all. I don’t even try to do a strict Keto diet, at 20 grams of CHO. That is way too serious for me. But, I still cut carbs as much as I can without counting every single carb. I am not inclined to be strict about how towels are folded, dishwashers, are loaded, or what kind of vehicle I drive, so it follows that I am not going to obsess over carbs. That’s just me. Let’s say that I want to be selective and nominally prudent about my carb intake so I always read the label.

[@xxlxpman]

Boy Howdy! (That's how you say " you're so right " in cowboy country.

[@francesfarmer736]

Exactly! Most packages that say KETO is a marketing tool…….

[@CourtneyK87]

My husband was once 436lbs and he's now at 190 and has been at that weight for several years now. He did it by going keto. We travelled for work when he started so we learned fast that you have to get creative. Go to the grocery store, buy pepperoni sticks, beef jerky, carrots.... stuff that doesn't really need a fridge. Then, if we went to fast food, we'd get a grilled chicken sandwich, no bun, extra lettuce, breakfast wraps can be quite low in carbs. The one mistake we made was salad. You would think salad would be healthy. It isn't, not at fast food. Its doable. You'll get some weird looks, but you can do it. April 2017 and its august 2023, he never looked back. Its not a diet, guys. Its a complete lifestyle change. Forever... but he gets just as excited about cauliflower as he used to get about a double cheeseburger from McDonald's. Your tastebuds change😊

[@hermesten1000]

Some fast food places like Taco Bell and McDonalds now have options for removing the higher carb elements. You can ask for a bunless burger at McDonald's and other burger joints.

[@dsgereau7175]

Congratulations on the amazing success and dedication!

[@ncironhorse8367]

Jersey Mikes - any sub in a tub, Jimmy Johns - any sandwich in a lettuce wrap, Wendy's Baconator Jr. no bun, Moe's Southwest Homewrecker in a bowl - a few of my go to items when on the road.

[@miken7629]

While traveling, I buy the double roast beef at Arbys, no bun, then use Carb Counter tortillas. While traveling I bring a 4 inch silicone bowl, put in some ham pieces, some shredded cheese, stir in 2 eggs, microwave 3 minutes, looks like a muffin but it is a ham & cheese omelette. I also preheat a thermos + 2 eggs with hot tap water, empty water then replace with boiling water, hard boiled eggs in 1 hour. I also have a 6 inch silicone cake mold, put a 1/2 pound hamburger patty in silicone bowl, microwave 4 minutes, turn over and microwave one minute, cooked hamburger.

[@MelissaCapriotti]

While I focus on just eating low carb and healthy ( not keto per say) I still find it’s best to just pack as much as you can from home to stay healthy and then when I get to my destination I can find way better options with way better dining options!

[@lisah5784]

Same 😃 I always bring a cooler bag with me when running errands or whatever and have healthy low carb snacks and water I don't need to stop anywhere.

[@CarbageMan]

Yeah, I'm thinking boiled eggs, "safe" beef sticks, biltong, and maybe even some cheese. Fortunately, I don't get too far away very often. Even before I was keto, I used to make sandwiches and pack stuff like nuts. Now I've gotten even more picky. Maybe things like celery and a home made dip would be safe. Sometimes I like to snack on sardines over pork rinds with guacamole. That would be pretty quick to pack, and better than stuff like nuts and cheese (for me, because those can be easy to overeat.)

[@bonniebertucci1404]

Exactly just because your on vacation isn’t a reason to eat junk fast food. It can’t be healthy. I make sure I’m weighing my Mayo and cheese out and I bring my little food scale. Keeping up with calories is a BIG thing no one talks about. Just because it’s zero carb you will get fat and you can be over weight on keto.

I'm on day 5 keto and I'm feeling amazing. I did keto for a year two years ago and I cannot believe it took me this long to go back. I felt like crap for 2 years! I knew I wasn't doing well with my higher carb diet because it was like I never had enough coffee and I was exhausted all of the time. So glad I'm finally taking back control of my health and your channel has been amazing because life's kind of fast paced and sometimes I need quick fixes even though I love mostly a clean keto life. Thank you

[@CarbageMan]

Ketones are almost addictive. I feel so much better when my ketones are in the therapeutic range-but I have degenerative disc disease, so I learned to leverage it to treat the spinal inflammation after I beat diabetes. In an odd way, that "keeps me" keto. I never cheat, in the way some people mean (I do have unplanned meals, and eat "keto krap," nuts and cheese too often.)

[@Mr.Helper.]

I fell off keto for awhile but trying to get back … yeah, eating carbs I was constantly hungry and tired

[@geno5169]

I tried keto before I struggled . So Know I just eat high protein like eating 4 to 5 eggs everyday with avocado after my fast. I drink water all day long. I love my salmon and do low carb usually eat carb at for my dinner.. if I eat at Wendy’s ill put my burgers over my salad.

When ordering a bunless burger ask if they can substitute extra lettuce, pickles and tomatoes for the bun. They'll often pile it on.

[@NoName83201]

Ingredients are super important, not just carb counts. Majority have sugar, that sugar starts my craving cycle 😢, not to mention all the horrible vegetable oils. Having homemade food prepared in advance keeps me on-track, no cravings, no stalls, etc…

"SOLA" has excellent buns/bread that does not spike glucose in most people, & we often find it in the freezer section. It's one of the only bread items I've ever bought that keeps super well in the freezer~ just take out what you need, & it's fresh & perfect every time. Love this brand! (*Orange wrapper, FYI)

[@razziade]

Sola breads are sized for sliders. Wish the loaf size was on par with regular bread. But I like sola.

Wendy’s is good low carb place. Will make bun less burgers. Plus Southwest avocado salad is great. Even entire dressing packet is 4 carbs. Use olive oil in dressing. You can substitute spicy chicken for roast but will add 30+ carbs. Sorry frosty is off limits

I wish it was that simple. I've tried several different brands of keto buns and have yet to find one that doesn't spike my blood sugar, much less one that doesn't have to be toasted to be edible. Same with the keto wraps. If I have to eat fast food, it's a Hardee's burger with a lettuce wrap. Just have plenty of napkins on hand.

[@crothcipt]

If you look at the ingredients of those breads, everything listed will spike your insulin. It's "keto" because they use a sweetener that isn't supposed to spike it.

Good info. I’ve been doing keto for over 7 years now and eating out is such a challenge I really don’t enjoy it anymore. Even if I can keep the carbs low I still worry about dodging vegetable oils. I noticed at 5 Guys for example that they use some type of oil on the griddle to cook their burgers. They also deep fry the bacon. I’d rather go to a Whole Foods and get some hard boiled eggs, sardines, cheese and veggies like bell peppers, broccoli, celery. I know… I’m weird.

I’m always impressed that people can do keto for so long. What do you do for food when you travel or leave the country for food? Do you only stay at places with kitchenettes?

[@joem5639]

@@thoughtsandslayers3917 Let’s just say I have been properly motivated to go on a keto diet and it has since become a lifestyle. I was overweight, felt sluggish, had hypertension (high blood pressure), skin tags, cataracts and hearts disease runs in my family. I believe the underlying cause to all this is chronic high insulin from a high carb/sugar diet. Reversed all this and feel so much better going low carb. Thinking of trying carnivore as it is the least inflammatory diet. I have booked hotel rooms with kitchenettes but cooking tends to stink up the place.

It's not even just the oils themselves, but how they're used. Some restaurants let the oils they used get pretty nasty. I stopped eating french fries out and about even before I was watching my carbs.

i lost 100 lbs and my secret is i never put a cap on fried chicken. my theory was that the carbs are super saturated in fat so their carbage was shriveled up and lost its juiice to the vat of oil. 3 to 5 thighs a few times a week, no problem. of of course, i dipped them in a sourcream/mayo sauce that i added pepper and salt in.
