Low carb fast food breakfast

Taco Bell Breakfast Mini Skillet (No Potatoes)

This is the best low carb fast food breakfast entree I’ve had. It comes standard with eggs, nacho cheese, pico de gallo, and potatoes. Omit the potatoes to make it low carb and then add steak, bacon, and guacamole to boost the calories.

Taco Bell is one of the best fast food chains for tasty, low-carb foods,” Lisa Richards, a certified nutritionist and the creator of the Candida Diet, told TODAY.

She recommended the chain’s Breakfast Mini Skillet. This dish has 16 grams of carbs, 11 grams of fat and 5 grams of protein and is 180 calories. It’s made with eggs, cheese, potatoes and pico de gallo in its standard form, but it can easily be ordered without the potatoes. Added Richards, “You can boost the healthy proteins and fats by adding steak or guacamole — or both!

Jack In the Box Extreme Sausage Sandwich (No Bun)

It’s tough to choose the best of the bunless breakfast sandwiches, but the Extreme Sausage Sandwich tied for tops in taste and had the best overall presentation. Comes with two sausage patties, a fresh cracked egg, and two slices of American cheese.

Healthy Low Carb Breakfast Foods:

• Eggs (chicken, duck, quail etc, try to get local farm fresh when able!)
• Uncured bacon
• Pasture raised sausage
• Kale or spinach sautéed in lard, tallow, duck fat or other healthy fat
• Omelet with non-starchy veggies and protein.
• McDonald’s Sausage McMuffin with Egg (No Bun)

When it comes to the low carb McDonalds breakfast, I give the slight edge to the Sausage McMuffin with Egg versus the standard Egg McMuffin which is served with Canadian bacon. For someone on a keto diet, like myself, the sausage is higher fat and more filling.

Starbucks’ Sous Vide Egg Bites

Starbucks rolled out its Sous Vide Egg Bites three years ago and, out of all the chain’s breakfast items, they have the lowest carb count. The SousVide Bacon and Gruyere Egg Bites have 9 grams of carbohydrates, 19 grams of protein and 20 grams of fat. Each bite is 150 calories, but a full serving has two portions. All Egg Bites on the menu, including an egg white version and one with  chicken chorizo, have fewer than 15 grams of carbs per serving.

Sausage, Ham and Bacon

Chick-fil-A’s Egg White Grill

With 25 grams of protein and 7 grams of fat, Chick-fil-A’s Egg White Grill is the chicken chain’s answer to the famous McDonald’s McMuffin, but it has more protein and is less caloric. Instead of Canadian bacon, this multigrain English muffin sandwich has a skinless chicken breast, topped with egg whites and a slice of American cheese. With the bread, the sandwich has 300 calories but Chick-fil-A knows that many of its diners are carb-conscious consumers. With that in mind, the breakfast sandwich can be ordered sans the muffin for 0 net carbs.

When it comes to ordering a low-carb breakfast at any restaurant, Taub-Dix said the key is really all about improvisation. Although it might be a little messy, “to cut carbs, you can unwrap and de-bread any sandwich.”
