Top 12 Low-Carb Fast Foods

Sticking to a low-carb diet when dining out can be hard, especially at fast-food restaurants.

That's because these meals are often based on bread, tortillas, and other high-carb items.

Still, most fast-food restaurants offer some good low-carb options, and many items can easily be modified to fit your lifestyle.

Here are 14 delicious fast foods you can eat on a low-carb diet.

1. Don't Have: Sub Sandwich

Submarine sandwiches are very high in carbs. A typical sub has at least 50 grams of carbs, most of which come from the bun.

1. Do Have: Sub in a Tub

 

Ordering your sub "in a tub" (in a bowl or container), rather than on a bun, can save you more than 40 grams of carbs.

The carb counts for sub-in-a-tub options may look something like this:

• Turkey breast and provolone: 8 grams of carbs, 1 of which is fiber
• Club supreme: 11 grams of carbs, 2 of which are fiber
• Chicken salad: 9 grams of carbs, 3 of which are fiber
• California club: 9 grams of carbs, 4 of which are fiber

Although the term "sub in a tub" originated at Jersey Mike's, you can order your meal this way from any sub sandwich shop, including Subway.

Just request that it be prepared as a salad with olive oil and vinegar for the dressing.
