    Frequently asked questions

    Yes, with a little planning! Pack keto-friendly snacks, plan your meals ahead, and check restaurant menus for low-carb options to help you stay on track during your trip.

    Look for items like hard-boiled eggs, beef jerky (check for added sugar), cheese sticks, nuts, and plain pork rinds. Many gas stations now carry low-carb bars or keto drinks, too.

    Stick to simple meals like bunless burgers, grilled chicken salads, or lettuce-wrapped sandwiches. Most fast food and casual restaurants can customize meals to fit your keto needs.

    Water is always the best choice, but you can also bring along unsweetened iced tea or black coffee. Avoid sugary sodas, juices, and high-carb energy drinks.
