Social occasions are something that can easily be overlooked. A few weeks in and you have a routine and suddenly you receive an invite to dine out. But what can you eat when dining out? Let’s take a look at tips for keto meal options when eating out in restaurants.
If you are following the Keto Lifestyle, you may assume that eating out is hard. Due to sauces and glazes that are drizzled over food and used to marinate. Fear not… you always have Keto meal options when eating out.
What Keto Meals Can You Order In Restaurants?
I’ve been following Keto for a little over two months now, with a whopping loss of 25lbs so far. Ever so close to a two stone loss! I have been strict with regards to keeping my carb intake well below 20g for the most part.
Though in the time have also been on holiday as well as eating out too. I managed this well though as I still have not been knocked out of ketosis.
Ever wondered about your Keto Meal Options When Eating Out? Most restaurants do cater for Keto well, but here are a few of my tried and tested favourites…
Top Tip: Never be afraid to ask a server to adapt Keto meal options, they are always happy to accommodate!
Keto Friendly Restaurants UK
Keto Meals At Pizza Express
It may sound like torture entering a restaurant predominantly offering pizza and pasta dishes. However the Chicken Caeser Salad can easily be adapted to be more ‘keto friendly’‘. A simple mention of ‘Keto’ at a blogger Writing Workshop event visit and the manager knew exactly what I needed.
It made a change not having to explain, which was fantastic! With an overload of chicken, cheese and salad, simply ask for no croutons and sauce on the side.
I prefer the salad without the anchovies, however they are Keto friendly, much preferring olives instead. Order Keto food in Pizza Express is easy!
Keto Meals At TGI Fridays
Before visiting a few weeks ago I had researched the menu in advance and was a little disheartened. Every meal option seemed to feature a Jack Daniel’s glaze, making my stomach rumble with anticipation.
On the day I decided on ordering the cheeseburger, with no bun, no fries but extra cheese and salad instead. This was not a problem. As you can see, it really was a plateful of food, the amount of salad shocked everyone!
Eating Out At Independent Restaurants
It really does pay to speak with a restaurant to discuss Keto Meal options before arriving. Giving them a head start on potential meal suggestions to offer means you may be pleasantly surprised!
When booking in advance for a birthday meal, it gave the chef time to come up with this meal option. Consisting of a bacon cheeseburger topped with fried egg, lamb kofta kebabs and feta cheese salad. It was absolutely spot on and I am so glad I spoke with the bistro beforehand.
Keto Meals At Buffalo Grill
Ok, so this is actually a French restaurant chain. However it shows the basics of Keto meal options can be applied anywhere! Sticking with a burger/ steak hache, cheese, bacon and salad will hit most of your macro points.
You will also feel better for having had a meal out too! I found most restaurants in France offer bottled water as soon as you are seated. Most also offer Coke Zero too if you want to live vicariously!
Can you eat kebab on Keto
There are always meat options available at Indian takeaways. With the mixed grill is one of the easiest options to choose. Otherwise another treat option is a kebab – choose your desired meat(s), with or without salad.
I opt for some garlic mayonnaise for the sauce option. Our local takeaway offers a ‘special’ which features all the meats and is a meal fit for a King! It’s well worth checking yours out too!
Ordering Keto From A Chinese Restaurant
The easiest Keto Meal Option from a Chinese restaurant is Foo Young (omelette). Great for those days when you need a protein boost!
Eating out whilst following Keto is not hard at all. Just make sure you are prepared! Research in advance and don’t be scared to ask the server for recommendations and meal adaptations.
