Is it “OK” to visit McDonald’s daily on Keto?

Well, visiting daily McDonal’d on a keto diet, is not a good choice. I know we have listed lots of low carb food.

But the keto diet isn’t only a low carb diet, the keto diet is a high-fat diet too and you have to eat protein in a limited amount too.

And I don’t think you can follow the keto diet properly by visiting Mcdonald’s daily.

But, there is no shame to pick some food from Mcdonald’s occasionally.

McDonald’s can be a great place for eating if you are traveling.

Final words for you

Now, you have an idea of how many items you can eat Mcdonald’s even you are on the keto diet.

But you should make your own food at home Because these foods are definitely low in carbs but there is not adequate ration between fat and protein.

Most of the foods are high in protein and low in carbs, but the keto diet is a high-fat diet. 

So, stay on the safe side and make your own food at home. But, you are eating food at McDonald’s on an occasional basis.
