What To Know

When following a low carb or keto diet, one of the most difficult aspects is what to eat when you're away from home.

It's not easy to find low carb lunch ideas that are high in fat and low in carbs. You can't just grab a quick packaged sandwich or bag of chips and a piece of fruit, or you'll knock yourself out of ketosis in no time.

So what can you eat? The key is to be prepared!

It may take a little extra time, but by preparing a low carb lunch, you're more likely to stick to and succeed in your diet. Remember, you're doing this to improve yourself and your health.

Below, we've put together a list of our top 30+ quick keto lunch recipes we love!

1. Keto Cobb Salad

A cobb salad, on its own, is about 90% of the way there to being totally keto-friendly.

It has everything you might expect, from boiled eggs to cherry tomatoes and avocados - all great for someone on a keto diet!

Give this recipe a try to whip up a filling, satisfying lunch.

2. Steak and Blue Cheese Salad

Have some leftover steak from last night’s dinner? Perfect!

This recipe will use it all up - and won’t require a single second of actual cooking, in that case, either.

3. Chicken Lettuce Wraps

Chicken lettuce wraps tend to be naturally keto-friendly because they’re low in carbohydrates, hearty and filling, and nutrient-dense.

However, the problem with lettuce wraps (like some of our favorites from take-out hot spots from PF Chang’s) is that they are usually put together with a sticky, sugary glaze.

This recipe makes some simple substitutions so you can enjoy these sauces - without the guilt.

4. Cauliflower Tortillas

This recipe won’t fill you up for lunch all by itself, but you can whip up a large batch (they’re freezer-friendly!) and use them as a substitute for regular tortillas, buns, sandwich rolls, and anything else that’s not exactly keto-friendly come lunchtime!

5. Buffalo Chicken Soup

Love buffalo chicken dip - but feel like you can’t enjoy it on the keto diet? Think again!

This recipe is ideal for the winter months, making it the perfect lunch to help you power through those workday “blahs” - but it also makes a great Super Bowl party side dish, too!

6. Keto Egg Salad

You can have all the egg salad you want on the keto diet - just use the may in moderation.

This egg salad tastes great by itself, as a topping on a salad, or of course, on top of your favorite keto bread.

7. Sheet Pan Chicken With Rainbow Veggies

What’s not to love about only having one dish to clean? This recipe is incredibly easy to whip up on any weeknight, giving you lots of extras to take with you to work for lunch every day.

Because you can use any kind of marinades or vegetables you want (within reason), it’s also super versatile, so you’re guaranteed to never get sick of it!

8. Salmon Sushi Bowl

No rice? No problem. This lunchtime favorite is sure to satisfy your sushi craving regardless - you’ll die for the sriracha mayo!

9. Keto Everything Bagels

Some people say bagels are for breakfast, but we like them for lunch - especially when they’re topped with deli meat, cream cheese, lox, or other protein- and fat-rich add-ons.

10. White Chicken Chili

If you love ordering chicken chili when you get takeout, give this keto-friendly alternative a spin.

You can load on all the cheese and sour cream you’d like - just skip the tortilla chips and crackers, please!

11. Keto Tuna Salad

Like the keto egg salad, we told you about earlier, this recipe is perfect when it comes to satisfying your classic sandwich craving. Use tuna packed in oil or water, but choose low-sodium options whenever you can.

This salad is easy to throw together and can easily be paired with just about any kind of accompaniment - from onion flakes to pickles or celery.

12. Keto Broccoli Cheddar Soup

This broccoli cheddar soup tastes just like the one you can get at Panera - you know, the iconic broccoli cheddar soup that everybody is obsessed with.

However, this soup has no potatoes and minimal carbs, making it a great choice for someone on the keto diet.

13. Keto Sausage and Peppers

Here’s another quick lunch you can whip up fast and take with you on the go.

Your Crock-Pot will do most of the hard work - all you have to do is pack it up and go!

14. Keto Burrito Bowl

Are you missing your favorite burrito at lunchtime? Skip the carb-laden tortilla and rice and make this burrito bowl instead.

It has all the essentials, from the meat to the cheese and the beans.

15. Keto Pulled Pork

Serve this classic barbeque sandwich on a few large, sturdy pieces of lettuce instead of a bun.

Or, if you’re really missing the bread, just swap out your favorite rolls for low-carb alternatives instead.

16. Zoodle Stir Fry

Flavorful, filling, fast - and loaded with nutrients. This recipe is perfect for any foodie who’s trying to stick to a keto diet.

Make a big batch for dinner, and enjoy the leftovers for lunch!

17. Instant Pot Cauliflower Rice

Let your pressure cooker do the work!

Make a big batch of this cauliflower rice over the weekend, and you’ll have a lightning-fast lunch that you can take with you on the go.

It’s Greek-inspired and absolutely delicious, from the feta to the Kalamata's.

18. Cauliflower Fried Rice

While you’re making your big batch of cauliflower rice for the recipe above, consider whipping up a batch of this cauliflower fried rice for workday lunches, too.

It takes advantage of your favorite cruciferous veggies for a nutrient-dense, incredibly filling lunch. Put an egg on it for an extra dose of filling protein!

19. Cauliflower Potato Salad

Only one more cauliflower recipe - we promise! This keto-friendly dish is perfect for quashing those carb cravings as soon as they appear.

Instead of using actual potatoes, cauliflower takes center stage - but trust us, you won’t even notice the difference.

20. Pho With Zoodles

Addicted to Vietnamese take-out? Skip your favorite corner restaurant and try this low-carb, keto-friendly alternative instead.

It’s loaded with veggies and healthy protein, making it easy for you to hit your macros across the board.

21. Egg Roll in a Bowl

Egg rolls are almost completely keto-friendly - the main ingredients, after all, are beef, cabbage, carrots and onions, and maybe some sauce.

It’s usually just the wrappers that get you into trouble if you’re trying to follow a keto-friendly diet. Give this recipe a try if you’re missing the classic!

22. Turkey Bacon Ranch Pinwheels

With ranch, deli meat, cream cheese, and bacon, these savory mini-wraps are easy to customize based on your personal food preferences.

Want your pinwheels a little spicier? Just add some chipotle!

Enjoy the classic combination of bacon, lettuce, and tomato with avocado, gouda cheese, and a flavorful homemade dressing.

Each bowl only has 5.9g of net carbs and it's sure to keep you satisfied all day.

24. Keto Fish Cakes with Garlic Aioli

A great choice for both lunch and as a side dish, these keto fish cakes are packed with healthy fats and protein.

With a juicy, meaty texture and a hint of zest, they are perfect with a spicy garlic aioli sauce!
