We're Making Keto On-the-Go Easy.

You’ve planned, prepped, and now it’s time to prepare your keto meal. But then that “I don’t feel like cooking” mindset kicks in. We’ve ALL been there! Sometimes it feels like you have no other option but to cook keto meals yourself for fear that you won’t have any options on a restaurant menu.

We promise that the keto diet has lot’s of options for our friends on the go! So put your worries aside—Hip2Keto has you covered with tips for dining out, eating keto on the go, and even how to recreate your fast food favorite at home, keto-style!  

Tips for Eating Keto on the Road

These tips will help you stay on your keto diet even while you're on the road, from gas station finds to restaurant menu picks!  

Fast food can be keto-friendly

While on the go, fast food is always a popular option. At many restaurants, you can hack the menu to make it work for you! With options like subbing the bun for a lettuce wrap or having your sandwich converted to a salad, it’s easy to nix the carbs and to make your favorite orders keto-friendly.  

Our personal favorites are the Unwiches at Jimmy John’s. You pick the sub of your choice, and they’ll wrap it up tight inside lettuce leaves (they even wrap the whole thing in deli paper to make eating in the car less of a mess). You can also recreate them at home if you wish and bring them in a cooler for your trip! 

Your budget doesn’t have to budge either

Now that you know you can adjust your fast food order, it’s time to think about your budget. It’s easy to go overboard, even when you’re looking at lower cost food items. For the ultimate hunger pains, consider meat-filled options that net the most bang for your buck.  

How cheap are we talking? Try getting 2 Wendy’s Double Stacks (no bun or ketchup, add extra lettuce and mayo) and you’ll end up spending only $4.58. Considering that’s 5oz. of beef and 2 slices of cheese, you should be full for a while. 😋 Even better, you can always add bacon for flavor and fat!

Gas stations are surprisingly full of keto snacks

Yeah, I said it—you can eat keto at the gas station! 🤯 You’ll find keto-friendly nuts and the gas station staple pork rinds! Plus, many small convenience stores have cold food storage sections that offer viable lunch and munch options not centered around carb-heavy foods. You can find cheese sticks, salami, and even hard-boiled eggs to keep you satiated.  

A must-buy are the Volpi Roltinis. They’re tasty roll-ups of mozzarella and prosciutto, and they’re perfectly portable! And let me tell you, that savory snack stick is addicting. 🤤
