Surviving Keto at Slim Chickens

At Slim Chickens, you definitely would not have to worry about losing your keto streak. But, you will have to make some modifications to your meal to make it keto-friendly, otherwise, you’ll be left with just a few options to choose from.

Talking about their tenders and wings, as I said, all of them are keto-friendly. Just watch out for the sauces you lather them with. Do not be too lenient with them and you should be good to go.

Their sandwiches and wraps are the ones that need modifications. In order to make them keto-friendly, you’ll have to ditch the bread slice and tortilla wraps. Since just one slice of bread contains 14g of net carbs and a tortilla contains 39g net carbs, it’s evident that they should be avoided at any cost.

Instead, ask for the sandwich and wrap as a salad bowl, or if they’re willing to provide lettuce wraps, then go for it. Do not add any more condiments as it might increase the carb count.

As far as their salads are concerned, just stay away from sugary sauces and you’re good to go. They already come with some sort of dressing, so there’s actually no need to add more to them.

They have a lot of dressings that you can choose from but go for the ones with the least carbs (since your main meal might already be containing some carbs and you might cross the allowed limit, if not planned well.) As a rule of thumb, any sweet-tasting sauce is a red flag!

Slim Chickens also provides you with a good variety of keto-friendly beverages. Avoid the sugary ones and go for their low-carb alternatives, instead.

So, without any delays, let’s explore what all keto-friendly options Slim Chickens has in store for you.
