You’ve gotta try a keto-friendly Subway Protein Bowl (a.k.a. a No Bready Bowl)!

Subway is joining the long list of fast-food restaurants adding protein bowls to its menu!

The Subway “No Bready Bowl” is now a menu option which means you can order any of the chain’s Footlong Subs in a keto-friendly format. Each Subway keto bowl comes with the same portion of protein, vegetables, and cheese as the restaurant’s famous Footlong Subs, but without all of the carbs and sugar associated with Subway’s bread!

Subway protein bowls on counter

There are currently 12 Subway Protein Bowls on their menu (a.k.a. No Bready Bowls), with 6 of them being pretty keto-friendly according to Subway’s nutritional pdf. That gives you a handful of tasty Subway keto bowl options to choose from!

We found the Subway No Bready Bowl is usually priced from $6.99 to $11.99 at our location, with the option to double the protein on any bowl for just $2 more. Keep in mind that pricing does vary by location.

It’s important to note that the Subway nutritional pamphlet may vary from the online nutrition calculator. Speak to your local Subway if you have additional nutrition questions.

Hip tip: Avoid the Meatball, Veggie, and the Sweet Onion Chicken Teriyaki as they are pretty high in carbs.

man eating a keto meal at a fast food joint

“These Subway Protein Bowls were really satisfying, and you definitely don’t need to order several of them like I did to fill up! 😆 One of these would have made a really hearty meal, with plenty of fat and protein to keep you going for the rest of the day. 

If I’m really hungry, I might spend the extra two bucks to double the protein, and then maybe add some bacon and guacamole for extra fat.”Stetson

      Great question! They are available to order just like their subs, where you let them know which kind you’d like and then you can customize your toppings. Hope that helps!

    Had the chicken pizziola. With no dressing. And it was so good! After being diagnosed as diabetic I thought Subway was a thing of the past. Glad to see I am wrong.
