Chili's can work for keto if you focus on steaks, bunless burgers, bone-in wings with low-carb sauces, fajitas without tortillas/rice/beans, and salads with crunchy carbs removed. Avoid pastas, Chicken Crispers, crispy chicken sandwiches, boneless wings, desserts, sugary drinks, and standalone starchy sides. For a 12g net-carb meal target, always remove buns, tortillas, chips, rice, beans, fries, potatoes, corn, sweet sauces, and breaded proteins.
