Top 5 Keto Taco Bell Hacks
Have a favorite menu item that didn’t make the list? Taco Bell’s nutrition calculator makes it easy to plan ahead so you know what modifications are necessary to meet your goals. Here are my top 5 tips for success:
- Avoid the obvious: potatoes, fries, chips, tortillas, rice, and beans. Order your quesadilla, taco, or burrito in a bowl with a fork.
- Order double meat, for a higher protein, more satiating meal.
- Load up on sauce! Like guacamole, sour cream, nacho cheese, and salsas.
- Add fat for a keto meal. Load up on sour cream, cheese, and guacamole.
- Ask for extra veggies to bulk up the meal.
What to Avoid
The carbs in Taco Bell are the usual culprits: tortilla, rice, beans, and corn — each of these ingredients are used in most of Taco Bell’s most popular orders. Such as:
- Fiesta Taco Salad – Carbs: 75g, Net Carbs: 63g
- Crunchwrap Supreme – Carbs: 71g, Net Carbs: 65g
- Cheesy Gordita Crunch Supreme – Carbs: 43g, Net Carbs: 38g
- Steak and Cheddar Nacho Box – Carbs: 116g, Net Carbs: 106g
- Seven Layer Burrito – Carbs: 58g, Net Carbs: 50g
What About Sauces?
A wise broke college student once told me that “Taco Bell entrees are really just vehicles for Border sauce”. Who doesn’t love to add those witty little sauce packets to their tray? If you can relate, I’ve got fabulous news:
- Fire sauce – 0g carbs
- Hot Sauce – 0g carbs
- Mild sauce – 0g carbs
- Nacho cheese – 2g carbs
- Guacamole – 1g carbs
Sneaky Carbs in Taco Bell Orders + Substitutes
