I love to cook Keto Meals (That's obvious by my 4 Cookbooks), but honestly I hardly ever cook lunch! Time is a luxury at my house in the morning, and most days I would rather go out to lunch than spend precious time packing a Lunch. Also I love exploring LA and finding new ways to make restaurant meals Keto. It's much simpler than you would imagine and it almost feels like a scavenger hunt. 

I often share pictures of my Keto Lunches on Instagram @ketointhecity_ but I haven't shared my go-to Fast Casual favorites on Keto Mail in a while. Scroll down to see my current lunch obsessions. 
 

My Favorite Fast Casual Keto Lunches

1. In-N-Out - I switch between two different orders here. Sometimes I order a Double Double Protein Style, Mustard Fried with Chopped Chillies. This one comes wrapped in lettuce and doesn't make too much of a mess. Recently I've been really into Flying Dutchmen. I usually order 2 Flying Dutchmen mustard fried with pickles and 1 packet of sauce which I add on top. You might need a fork for this one but the ratio of meat and cheese is spectacular. If you don't happen to have In-N-Out in your part of the world you can easily order something similar at almost any other burger place.

2. Poke- I work in downtown LA right near some incredible Sushi and Poke Restaurants. I love Poke! It's so customizable, quick and healthy lunch!

Here what's in this one:

• Spring Mix

• Spicy Tuna

• Salmon

• Avocado

• Light onions

• Cucumbers

• Spicy Mayo

• Sriracha

• Sesame Oil

• Green Onions

• Masago

• Furikake

• Fried garlic

3. Tacos- You can hardly turn a corner in LA without running into a taco place. It is a way of life and I am here for it. Normally I order Taco's without the shell and eat them with a fork, but some restaurants have started making Cheese Shells. Even the popular chain Rubio's has started serving Tacos Keto Style. I tried them out the other day and LOVED them. 

Here's what I got: 

• Gourmet shrimp taco keto style (has 🥓on it!) ⁠

• Gourmet steak taco keto style (has 🥓on it!) ⁠

• Wild caught mahi mahi taco keto style (I don't worry about a little corn, but you do you)

I am not being paid to advertise any of these restaurants. I just wanted to share what I've been enjoying lately. Switching to a new way of eating can be very difficult when you are hungry and unsure of your options. I hope this gives you some ideas for when you are hangry and need something asap!
