Here Are the Keto-Friendly Restaurants That Are Closest to You

Here's the sitch: You're killing it on the keto diet-you're cooking delish, high-fat, low-carb meals at home, and you've got keto-friendly lunch options down pat. Then the weekend rolls around...

I feel you-where are all the keto fast food options so you don't slip out of ketosis? Luckily, eating out on the keto diet is still totally doable-you just have to be a little more creative, says Leslie Bonci, R.D.N., owner of Active Eating Advice.

A few things to avoid right off the bat when you're dining out: Skip a dish if it says “breaded” or “coated” (hi, carbs!) and ditch bowls with noodles or rice as the base, Bonci says. Of course, a pie (even a beloved chicken pot pie) wouldn’t fit a keto lifestyle. And you’re always better off avoiding “glazed” foods, as that probably sings with sugar. Oh, and leave the buns off those burgers. If you’re keto-centric, salad will be your new go-to side.

Luckily, being on the keto diet gives you a free pass to eat those cheesy, creamy sauces you have to avoid on other diets; it also gives you a full range of meats to choose from (steak, chicken, fish-you name it, they're all keto-friendly). And, as always, fill your plate with as many leafy greens and non-carby veggies as possible.

To simplify your restaurant game even more, here are 18 keto fast food spots and restaurants that offer up some pretty damn delicious (keto-friendly!) options. Go ahead and dig in to these high-fat faves.
