Fast Food

[mrslee44]

It seems often that most fast foods don't really cater to the low carb lifestyle. Granted we are enterprising and can make low carb eats from most fast food resturants, but in my experience I don't like to do this.

Now Hardee's offers several low carb entrees. One is the low carb bowl for 3.09 and it has sausage, egg, bacon bits and cheese. It has 6 total carbs and its isn't bad, matter of fact it is really good. And I actually get it on a regular basis...(that means when I didn't plan my menu out for the work day).

The other entree, and I've just tried it today is the Low Carb Thickburger. It has 5 total carbs. It was a big fat thick grilled burger with lettuce on either side, several tomatoe slices, red onion, dill pickles and a touch of mustard and ketchup. It came in a big box and was wrapped with white paper. It was good. No it was fantastic. It tasted like a fast burger without the bun. And it was only 3.09. I ate it today for the first time and I am stuffed beyond belief, and quite satisfied. :yes

I understand that Arby's also carries a low carb menu, but I have not checked it out as of yet. More to come after I do.

Any other fast foods that I'm not taking into consideration or don't know about.

Thanks

Wendy's was the first to change the sides so we don't have to pay extra for a salad and now you get either a side or a ceasar with your bunless burger.

the Arby's stuff is more for the higher phases of Atkins as is the subway stuff.

One thing about that Hardess burger it is 1/3 of a pound not the 1/4 pound at the other restaurants so becareful with your portions there. And most Hardees will low carb any of their burgers if you ask for it but you have to direct the building very carefully to skip the stuff you know is high carb or not allowed on your phase. the reason they say the Low Card burger has ketchup is they apple less of it then the regular burgers it is still the reguolar ketchup.

Thank you Dessertthorn.

Yes 2big I know what you mean. When I went back to get it, I asked that the red onions and ketchup be omitted. They happily complied and it was still just as good.
