Keto Taco Bell Guide (Easy-to-Read Nutrition & Meal Ideas)

If you're following Keto, Taco Bell is probably the last place that you'd ever think to find a meal option. With a few simple modifications however, there are plenty of items to choose from that won't ruin your progress!

Overview & Tips

• Avoid the obvious carb-heavy items like rice, tortillas and desserts.
• If you're sold on a certain menu item, try ordering it without the tortilla. Instead, you'll receive all of your food in a plastic container.
• Some locations will let you create your own meal by ordering each component on the side.
• Looking to add more protein? You can add extra meat to any item for a small up-charge.
• Ordering with the Taco Bell app makes customizing orders a lot easier!
• Don't have a Taco Bell near you? There are plenty of other fast food joints in my Keto Eating Out Guides.

Breakfast

Most of the breakfast options contain a tortilla and/or hashbrowns, so we're a little limited with what we can choose from.

  (90 calories, 7g fat, 4g carbs, 4g protein)

Burritos

Tacos

There are a few different types of tacos available at Taco Bell. I tend to go the Supreme route and ask for them with no tortilla.
