Keto on the Go: Low Carb Options at Wendy’s

HI when I’m on the go and haven’t prepared a meal to take with me, Wendy’s is one of my favorite spots to pick-up a low-carb and keto-friendly meal. I may be biased because I worked at a Wendy’s when I was in high school, but I feel as though there are some great options that won’t ruin your progress with keto. As always, eating fast food is not ideal, but when you have options available, it makes the lifestyle so much easier to maintain.

Overview ;

For the most part, low-carb at Wendy’s is pretty standard. You will basically order a sandwich without the bun or get a salad. When I ask for “no bun please,” the workers will generally give you the bun-less sandwich with the toppings on the side in a dish with a fork and knife. It’s pretty convenient! Sometimes, they even put in big lettuce leaves to “wrap” the sandwich in.

The values below are based on nutrition information from Wendy’s. Values may differ, use your best judgment.
