5. Hardee’s Keto & Low-Carb Options
Hardee’s is one of the more keto-friendly fast-food chains because of its charbroiled beef focus and the availability of bunless modifications. Here’s what works for low-carb and keto diners:
Best Keto-Friendly Items (Under 10g Net Carbs)
| Item | Net Carbs | Protein | Fat | Calories |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Low Carb Breakfast Bowl® | 0g | 33g | 68g | 760 |
| Famous Star® (no bun) | ~8g | 24g | 30g | ~460 |

The Low Carb Breakfast Bowl® is Hardee’s own dedicated keto option — it’s designed specifically for low-carb eaters and contains zero net carbs. For any other burger, simply ask for it “no bun” or “protein-style” (wrapped in lettuce) — this removes approximately 34–56 grams of carbohydrates depending on the burger.
