McDonalds Keto Menu Choices

All I can say is salads, salads, and more salads!

You would think that salads will become your friend at McDonalds. But think again The Southwest Salad without chicken has 20 grams of Carbs.  With grilled chicken it has 30 grams of Carbs.  The Southwest Dressing has another 11 grams of Carbs.  This is just way too many Carbs.

Who would have thought that the Chicken Nuggets – 4 piece only contains 11 grams of Carbs and in the 6 piece chicken nuggets there are 16 grams of Carbs.  And this is the better choice when you go to McDonald’s.

McDonald’s Chicken Selects 3 piece have a whopping 23 grams of Carbs.  This is a lot.  So, you might want to stay away from this because it’s heavily breaded.

All of their nonfat coffee’s are also pretty decent choices and have relatively low amounts of carbs.
