Keto Diet Overview
The keto diet involves eating very low carb, high fat and moderate protein. This puts the body into ketosis, burning fat for fuel. It requires restricting carbs to under 50 grams per day.
Challenges of Keto Fast Food Options
Most fast food contain buns, sugary sauces, batter fried foods and other carbs. This makes sticking to under 50 grams of carbs very tricky when opting for fast food while on the high fat, very low carb keto diet.
Customizing Your Five Guys Order for Keto
While Five Guys doesn't have specifically low carb offerings, they allow for a high degree of customization. This makes it possible to order items to meet your macros needs on keto.
Bunless Burgers and Hot Dogs
Order your five guys burgers wrapped in lettuce instead of on a bun to slash the carbs. The same goes for hot dog orders.
Swap Fries for Veggies
Sub out fries made the traditional batter-fried way for fresh veggies like pickles, lettuce, tomatoes etc. Be mindful of veggies containing more sugar like onions though.
