You might think that eating keto at subway is simply ordering a sub without the bun, but there’s actually more to it than that! While this does work for meats and cheeses, sauces and veggies can have plenty of hidden carbs. That’s why you have to be careful when eating keto at this fast-food chain. Here are the best low-carb options at Subway!
The simplest way to cut carbs at Subway is to order a sub without the bread. Try ordering your favorite meats, cheeses, and low-carb veggies wrapped in lettuce (or with lettuce on the side and make it yourself).
Salads are one of the best options when it comes to eating keto at Subway. You can turn any sub into a salad!
Want to add even more protein? Try adding double meat to your order! That’ll increase the protein, without adding to the carb count.
Just because these are salads doesn’t mean they are necessarily the best option, or the healthiest, for you. Pay attention to the total calories and net carbs in each serving to help you stay on track with your goals.
Subway recently released protein bowls, a high-protein take on the traditional salad. Most of these are keto-friendly and great options when you are trying to add extra protein to your diet!

The carbs from salad dressing can add up quickly, so make sure you are cognizant of the amount you add to your salad!
Most obviously, bread should be avoided on the keto diet. Additionally, you should avoid anything with sweet onion sauce, or honey mustard, as well as the meatball marinara. Both of these have added sugar and are higher in carbohydrates than what is acceptable for consumption on a ketogenic diet.
