Been trying Keto for about a week now and I never really noticed my addiction to bread. Not the ordinary sandwich type bread, but the good stuff like naan and pita bread. Crackers and hummus, most soups, BBQ, anything sweet that isn't sucralose-y. I'm making due with the low carb tortillas but it isn't the same.
The only fast food that I can get reliably that fits in the diet is the grilled chicken nuggets at Chick-fil-A.
I do keto yearly to cut weight. Makes portions just very easy for me. For some quick fast food options in a pinch, McDonald's triple with cheese* sans bun (easy to order on mobile), extra pickles/lettuce. Chipotle/Moe's/Qdoba lots of options. I like a double meat salad with fajita veg, cheese, sour cream, salsa of choice, no rice/bean/corn salsa. Wings/salad at lots of pizza joints, verify they're not fried. Panera salads, just check the dressings. Greek restaurants usually have a nice selection of salad or grilled meat and veg options just nix the rice or bread.. and sadly hummus.
Another reliable fast food option is Jimmy John's. Their "un-which" is your sub of choice wrapped in lettuce leaves. The gargantuan un-which is my go-to.
