Keto at TGI Fridays: Every Safe Order, With the Carbs Counted

47 diabetic-friendly picks • net carbs as modified • the orange lines are exactly what to say when you order.
TGI Fridays can work for keto if you build meals around steak, grilled salmon, grilled/traditional wings, bunless burgers, modified salads, and non-starchy sides like Lemon-Butter Broccoli. The main hazards are whiskey glaze, BBQ sauce, breading, pasta, fries, rice, potatoes, desserts, and sugary drinks, so order sauces on the side and replace starches with broccoli or salad.
