Keto at Burger King

Burger King is the fifth-largest fast food chain worldwide and home of, of course, The Whopper! Unfortunately, a full Whopper will set you back a whopping (pun totally intended) 49g net carbs. Definitely not keto friendly…. but fear not! You can actually get TONS of keto friendly food at Burger King.

In fact, it’s actually shocking how keto-friendly Burger King is! With the simple removal of the bread (whether it’s a burger bun, biscuit, or croissant) and sometimes a sauce, you can totally live it up at Burger King! Or maybe that should be Keto King…… 😉

If you follow a few guidelines I’m going to show you, you can get some amazing keto Burger King meals! There are so many choices that you could practically eat at Burger King daily and never get bored.

Ready? Let’s get started!

Please BOOKMARK this post right now because I am going to update and improve it as much as possible. I want it to be so comprehensive that you wouldn’t think of going anywhere else!

Keto Burger King – What can I eat?

You will be happy to know that you can eat keto at Burger Kings for breakfast, lunch, and dinner! A few important notes about keto at Burger King:

  • Modifications are listed in the first set of parentheses, and they MUST be followed to make the food keto-friendly.
  • The main modifications you’ll always want to follow are to remove the bread (e.g., bun, biscuit, croissant) and to remove any sauces, including ketchup.
  • If no fat grams are listed, that means the food does not contain fat.
  • For many options, I included (in a second set of parentheses) “vs. Xg net carbs.” I did this to show you how many net carbs you’re saving by choosing the keto friendly option. Numbers are powerful!
  • Not every option listed below will be available at every Burger King. Get friendly with your local Burger King and see what they can do for you. With the increasing popularity of the keto diet, more options and more modifications will become available.
