I have just started and just in ketosis.and need to go to dinner for a bday next week to a fancy Italian restaurant . I have no idea what to get except salads. Everything else is breaded or pasta etc
Italian restaurant
Fish and veggies, chicken and veggies, meatballs if no breadcrumbs are added (ask server)
Thanks thetebis no chicken there except breaded. I donāt like seafood but I guess I have to
Learn to like. Thanks I forgot about the veggies
I get meatballs even if breaded (sometimes, you have to get close). Do they have any sausage? Spaghetti with meat sauce, and just get the meat sauce?
I sub broccoli for pasta. Itās not sure-fire, since itās hard to know whatās in the sauce.
But, you can try looking online at their menu to see what you can modify.
Antipasto platter, capresi salad
Donāt they have steak? You said itās a fancy place.
My favourite meal: veal scalopine ai funghi with veg. A few carbs in the sauce, but itās blooody gorgeous.
Steak or salmon and vegetables.
Or even better would be steak and salmon with vegetables.
italian restaurants, if theyāre anything worth their sancerre, will have a salumi/formaggi selection. even before keto, i would order that with a bottle of wine. yum!
(i realize sancerre is french but it was the closest i could think of to salt )
I dislike Italian food generally, so Iād eat before going and then not eat there.
But, you know, plenty of my ideas arenāt what other people want to do, I get that.
Suits me. Iāve always just found it to be too heavy. I really dislike pasta in all its forms.
