    Love all these posts! I rarely eat out but when I do, it is steak with a smothered veggie...usually broccoli. In the rare case that I am on the road and feel the need to do fast food, I either opt for BWW or go to Taco Hell and order 4 crispy tacos, a side of sour cream and a side of jalapenos. I dump everything out onto a wrapper...throw the taco shells away and devour the rest.

    What? You don't want to each sort-of-chicken-mechanically-smashed-together-using-unpronounceable-chemicals that is covered in the cheapest carb-laden breading and then fried in the cheapest most processed vegetable oil they can find?

    At the more traditional Mexican restaurants I'm a fan of the Chile Verde or Chile Colorado which are basically chunks of pork or chicken in either a green chili/tomatillo sauce or a spicy red chile sauce.

    Got the Chile colorado the other day and ordered some Queso Fundido on the side and added it. Spicy creamy goodness!

    When I am at a Mexican restaurant I just eat the meat, cheese, peppers, onions and the sour cream and salsa. I just skip on the tortillas.

    My fave meal is a really good hamburger. I just eat it bunless and ask for extra lettuce, tomatoes and onions. I eat it with a fork.

    Grilled fish is my choice if available. If not, then steak. If neither, then fried eggs (it's the only way to be certain they're whole and not from a carton). For sides I'll have sautéed or steamed veggies, green leaves preferably. If cooked greens are too difficult I'll have a tomato and lettuce salad without seasoning.

    Any steakhouse - Plain steak with butter and veggies. Stay away from pulled pork or ribs, those sauces are sugary.
    Ruby Tuesday offers something called Texas Dusted ribs, which "only" clock in at 13g carbs for a full rack. All of the others are sugarsnot covered though.

    Full Rack TD: 1023 kcal, 69g fat, 13g carbs, 88g protein, 1939mg sodium.

    "Sugarsnot" is the name of my new band.

    How many bands do you have, babes?

    Salsa is nice but it's easy to rack up sodium and carbs as tomatoes are higher carb... .

    If you're doing keto, sodium is your best friend!!

    A one-ounce serving (2 tbsp) of my homemade salsa is 1 g carbs. I use maybe one serving every couple days, at most

    I ain't givin' up mah tomaters or onyons or peppers! No sirree, Bob!
