Burgers are sometimes a safe bet. Toss the bun, of course and ask to make sure the burger doesn't have carb laden fillers. Fish if it isn't breaded. Pork chops if they aren't breaded. Any restaurant that serves breakfast all day will have bacon and eggs, just don't get the toast or hash browns.
If I am being super careful about this, I will ask for oil & vinegar on the side and put it on myself with salt & pepper.

I always choose steak if it's an option! Or prime rib. Unless I am at a seafood restaurant, then crab legs and butter!!! Yum! If neither are available I go for the bunless bacon cheese burger.
If ordering from a pizza place, I go with naked wings and just add my own hot sauce at home.
I don't eat much fast foods so that usually don't come up but bunless burger would be my pick.
Breakfast of course is super easy...eggs sunny side up with bacon.
And I get Subway's spicy italian chopped salad occasionally0 -

This is my go to also but w/o the cheese, do ask for extra pickles--- it's super to eat out & enjoy, request double veggies, extra butter and salt your food.....as for alcohol, I have found champagne or/and Prosecco with 1 carb per 5 ounce serving.
At any Asian restaurant, from this blog and the Reddit blog, I learned to order, "no sugar, no flour and no cornstarch" ---- still delicious with the spices & oils.1 -

I love eating Asian as it's the easiest for me, I order the same above, and add prawns, or fresh mushrooms and chicken (it's a specialty of an Asian buffet I frequent). Even if the prawns are battered I have been known to take a whole plate of them, pull off the breading and then eat all the prawns on top of my beef & broccoli, lol. Oh yeah, ask for sesame oil and chili garlic sauce to top stuff off.

Wherever I go to eat, I almost always make sure they have salads. I love salads that have iceberg lettuce mostly in them as that is practically no carbs at all and great to munch on and fill yourself up. Mexican places I don't go to too much, but when I do, I always try to order a bulk of my meal as a high fat meat and veggies with no rice or beans or breaded sides. Salsa is nice but it's easy to rack up sodium and carbs as tomatoes are higher carb. But yea salads are usually my go to for low carb and to keep it fun I always try to order a salad that has variety in it and not just chicken and veggies.1

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.0

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?1 -
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!0 -
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.0 -
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.
