Low-Carb and Gluten-Free Dining Out Options

When I was serious about trying to eat low-carb I found some great options at some of my favorite restaurants. I have also included some gluten-free options.

1. Habit: I have been craving a lettuce-wrapped burger this week. I may have to pick up a cheeseburger with bacon and avocado this weekend. I have been eating at home all week, so that may be why I am craving something else. When I was eating low-carb one of the things I ate the most was lettuce-wrapped burgers, whether it was a turkey burger at home or a burger at a restaurant. Habit has my favorite lettuce-wrapped burger. When I go to Habit I still order my burger lettuce-wrapped. I guess you could call it a habit! I also love their sweet potato fries, which of course are not low-carb. You need balance in your life though right?

2. Sauce: The salmon and kale salad is my go-to. It used to be the apple, spinach and chicken salad, but once I tried the salmon salad there was no going back! This is a great option for when you are out and about and need to grab a quick, fresh bite. I always feel good after eating this salad. The hard part is saying no to the roll! It gets easier though the more often you say no. Sauce also has several gluten-free options. I have tried a couple of their pizzas on gluten-free crust and they were delicious. I’m curious about the gluten-free pasta, but I haven’t been brave enough to try it yet. Since the weather is changing now, I also wanted to mention that their vegetable soup is delicious. It’s not gluten-free though. I always order my salmon salad with an iced tea. Sauce is a Fox Concepts restaurant so of course they have delicious iced tea.

3. Eclectic Café: I absolutely love the chicken salad topped salad. It is huge and delicious.

4. Jimmy John’s: I used to always order my sandwiches with their yummy whole-bread, but ever since I started cutting back on carbs I have been ordering the unwiches. They are lettuce-wrapped sandwiches and I highly recommend trying your favorite sandwich as an unwich next time. I still order my vito or my club lulu as an unwich, even though I am not as serious about low-carb nowadays.

Happy low-carb dining!
