I wouldn't be so sure about keto. Buffet restaurants rely on serving cheap ingredients, which essentially means carbohydrates.

- hsyqiwgx 7y agoCrab legs and beef with broccoli come to mind.
- ygrechuk 7y agoThat sauce is loaded with sugar and corn starch.
- hsyqiwgx 7y agoCrab legs is still pretty good. You're generally right though.
- Mediterraneo10 7y agoAre crab legs at buffets realy crab? Surely passing off surimi as crab would be more cost-effective.
- gatesphere 7y agoPretty difficult to pass that off as crab, if they come still in the shell, like I've seen at every buffet I've been to. Granted, I haven't been to a buffet in over a decade. They seem to have died out entirely near me.
- GordonS 7y agoHmm, buffet restaurants in the UK must be a bit different to those in the US - here in the UK we only really have cheap Chinese and Indian themed buffets (exclusively with poor quality, sugar laden food), and you'd certainly never never find crab in them.
- LanceH 7y agoIt's pretty easy to get a selection of vegetables and chicken breast. Stay away from things like meatloaf which might be padded with bread. Everyone's first thought about keto is all meat, but vegetables are (or should be) a huge part of it. It's just a cool benefit that a night of brisket doesn't knock you off your diet.
- incangold 7y agoIf by “knock you off your diet” you mean “knock you out of ketosis”, then eating enough protein will do that. I experimented with a keto diet for a neurological condition. I invested in some blood ketone measuring strips and was surprised how difficult it was to stay in ketosis. Anything more than a medium chicken breast in one meal does it for me. Other metabolisms may be different.
