Large Chain Restaurants with Low Carb Options
I travel quite a bit and have to eat on the road - here are my recommendations for large food chains and what you can eat there and still keep your blood sugar in check!
As a type 2 diabetic, I like to get a double burger with cheese and bacon, no bun, no ketchup. Make sure to ask for utensils, they don't always remember to include them.

To manage my type 2 diabetes at this place, I like to get a salad bowl: salad on the bottom, no beans, no rice, whatever protein you like and a big 'ol spoon of guac. Can add cheese and sour cream if you can tolerate dairy also.
Chipotle

I love the salad options at Subway - easy way to keep low carb while on the go…and they're EVERYWHERE!
Subway
My favorite hack at OG is getting steamed broccoli instead of noodles for the chicken alfredo! Salad there is also in-bounds for keto lifestyle 🍝🥗 Sorry 'bout the bread sticks tho 😭

Diet Coke, Coke Zero Sugar, Diet Dr. Pepper, Unsweet tea, and Diet Cherry Lime-aid are all keto-friendly! (As is coffee with cream!). Sonic Breakfast bowl, as well as the burgers without bun or ketchup are in-bounds too!

My go-to here is the Chicken Power Menu Bowl - I get double chicken and no rice or beans. 🌮

Burgers here without bun or ketchup (and sip the fries and sugary drink), will make your blood sugar thank you. 🍔
