Guide to Chain Restaurants E-M

Low carb options from Friendlys to McDonalds.
El Pollo Loco
This Mexican-style chicken restaurant has some pretty good low-carb choices.
Friendly's
Friendly's has a low-carb menu, but it's not on their Web site. Lisa Shea of Bella Online fills in the gaps.
Ground Round
Ground Round has a low-carb menu described by Lisa Shea of Bella Online.
Hardee's
Hardee's Nutritional Information. They have a Low-Carb Breakfast Bowl, Low-Carb Thickburger, and other options.
IN-N-OUT Burger
In-N-Out Burger - perhaps you've heard of their "secret" menu? It's a secret no longer. Can you imagine an "Animal Style Protein Style 3X3"? I don't expect it would stay together, but it's low-carb!
