Keto at a Deli or Sandwich Shop

Yes, it is one of the easier cuisines. A sandwich is bread around keto food. Most delis and sub shops will put the same fillings in a bowl over lettuce or roll them in lettuce leaves, and the deli case is full of options.

Any sandwich as a lettuce wrap or in a bowl, a chef salad or Cobb, tuna or egg salad, cold cuts and cheese, and dill pickles.

Bread, wraps, chips, pasta salad, potato salad and cookies. Hidden carbs to watch for: honey or brown-sugar glaze on some hams and turkeys (a small amount); sugar in honey mustard and sweet onion sauces; sugar in coleslaw and in some tuna and chicken salads; noodles, potatoes or flour in many soups.

Try: “Could you make that as a salad or a lettuce wrap?” Keep requests short and friendly; kitchens handle substitutions all the time.

Unsweetened iced tea, sparkling water or a diet soda.
