Eating Keto At Nando’s – A look at low carb friendly foods on the menu – showing you how I created a meal with only 7.2 net carbs.

Eating Keto At Nando’s

Eating Keto At Nando’s makes following a low carb lifestyle so much easier. It’s great that there are tasty options to enjoy while you’re out and about, or when you don’t feel like cooking but want a meal that will help you stay on plan.

As you’ll see, Nando’s is actually one of the easiest places in the UK to stay low carb – if you order carefully.

What I Ordered

I kept things really simple and ordered the following 3 items:

4 Boneless Chicken Thighs
2 Slices of Grilled Halloumi
Nando’s New Pickle Mix

Net Carb Breakdown

Here’s a closer look at the carbs for each of the 3 menu items that together came to a grand total of 7.2 grams of net carbs, an excellent total for a full restaurant meal:

Boneless Chicken Thighs – 0.3 net carbs – chicken is naturally very low in carbs, making it perfect to form the bulk of your meal. It’s incredibly high in protein (this portion has 85.5 grams) and will keep you full without pushing up your carb intake.

Grilled Halloumi Cheese – 1.3 net carbs – indulging in two slices of soft, salty halloumi, that’s high in fat and protein while being low in carbs, is the perfect addition to this meal.

Pickle Mix – 5.6 net carbs – I was excited to try this new addition to Nando’s menu – herby pickles with pickled cauliflower. The dish certainly packed a flavor punch, while adding the bulk of carbs to the meal, I did feel it was worth it to help balance the richness of the rest of the meal, while providing a healthy vegetable option to the plate.

Overall, I enjoyed every morsel and came away feeling satisfied and full following the tasty, hearty and healthy meal.

5 Keto Fast Food Options

When you’re out and about and stuck without food, here are 5 Keto Fast Food Options to help you out:

1. Bunless Burger

A bunless burger uses lettuce instead of a bun or a burger in a bowl is what it says – all the burger fillings, but in a bowl instead.

I’ve found that different fast food chains offer it in different ways, but there’s always an option to enjoy all the burger fillings – but without the bun.

2. Barbecued Chicken

Freshly cooked barbecued chicken has little to no carbs and is a filling, low carb, high fat and high protein meal.

In Australia we have Nandos, which is where I’ll often head and share a whole chicken with my Husband. It’s the perfect meal and keeps us full for hours!

3. Japanese Beef Salad

Japanese restaurants or take away stores have tons of low carb, keto friendly options.

I’ve found beautiful platters of meat or fish, as pictured above, can be a delicious meal option while out and about.

4. Breakfast

All day breakfasts are common nowadays and there are SO many keto fast food options that are breakfast items.

I’ve found smoothie bars which will make me a low carb smoothie with almond milk and less berries than usual.

Also, it’s easy to enjoy eggs on the go. I’ve found a local fast food store offering scrambled eggs with avocado and heaps of greens that I’ve enjoyed as a breakfast for lunch while out and about.

5. Meat or Meatballs
