McDonald's can work for keto mainly by ordering beef burgers without the bun and without ketchup, or breakfast sandwiches without the biscuit, muffin, bagel, or McGriddles cakes. Avoid all McCrispy items, McNuggets, Filet-O-Fish, fries, hash browns, desserts, smoothies, frappés, and sweet sauces because those carbs are not removable enough for a 12g net-carb meal.
