14 Keto Friendly Restaurants for Keto Dieters According to Nutritionists

14 Keto-Friendly Restaurants, According to Nutritionists
For when you just can't cook another egg and cheese omelet.
Once you've got a cooking routine down on keto—the high-fat, low-carb plan that restricts your carb intake to just 5%-10% of your daily calories—it can feel like you're finally in the groove. That is until a friend or spouse asks you if you want to go out for dinner. Then, the panic sets in: What will I eat? Will I annoy everyone? Is keeping keto even possible at a restaurant?

First, take a breath: It's tough, but it's totally doable to do keto while you're dining out. "It is a common misconception that one cannot adhere to the ketogenic lifestyle if he or she is a frequent restaurant-goer," Aimee Aristotelous, RD, tells Health. You just have to be a little more mindful of your choice—and that means educating yourself on the hidden carbs on all restaurant menus, and go-to substitutions for carb-heavy ingredients.

First things first: Try to sub as many starches as you possibly can. "Always substitute green vegetables or salad in place of pasta, potatoes, and rice side dishes," says Aristotelous—that goes for subbing lettuce wraps for burger buns, too. It's also wise to add avocado or other healthy fats to any meal as much as possible. "For your extra healthy fat content, avocado tastes great on almost anything and many restaurants have it on hand to add to your meal," she says.

You definitely need to be aware of the secret places carbs are hiding in your meals, too. Most restaurant sauces, glazes, and salad dressings, for example, are loaded with sugar, says Naomi Whittel, author of the upcoming book High Fiber Keto. She suggests asking for dishes to be served plain or with the dressing on the side. "You can always order olive oil to use instead," she says. Breading is something else to avoid if you're watching your carb intake, says Whittel; your best bet is sticking to foods that are sautéed, roasted, or grilled.
Lastly (and possibly most importantly): Do your homework before you step into a restaurant. "Not only can you check out the ingredients in your desired dish, but you can check the carb count to make sure it's on point," says Whittel. Bonus: Deciding on your order before you arrive can help you avoid impulse decisions or poor choices when you're hungry.
