KETO/low carb tips and tricks on Magic

I’m cruising on the Magic next month and plan on sticking to a low carb diet while on the ship. I know it’s easily doable but if anyone has any pro-tips to share I’d be stoked to hear em!

I’ve done Keto on a ship & it’s very simple. Omelet station for breakfast. Guys minus the bun for lunch - go over and get guacamole & pico de gallo from the burrito place to throw on top on the burger. You can always eat the salad bar on the Lido too. Dinner in the MDR is a little more challenging, but I just tell the waiter up front that I don’t eat rice, potatoes, pasta or bread, so don’t even bring it to the table. They always look at me like I’m a nut, but oh well. Haha

I recently started Keto, Ill check out option and report back. Im going on a 3 day cruise in 13 days.

Another option for lunch on sea days is the salad bar on Deck 5 between the coffee shop and Red Frog Pub. It has more selections than the salad bar at the Lido buffet.

I'm vegan so I'm not of much help other than to say I know carb watchers have an easier time on the Magic because it has a BBQ place that is open for lunch of sailaway day and sea days. I think you could probably get low carb pretty much everywhere though but the ice cream machine, pizza spot and maybe deli. I think people in that lifestyle expect it.

Definitely don't miss the hidden salad bar on deck 5! It was a hit for me.

Awesome info as the wife would be thrilled to know these tips thanx everyone

Carved meats on the buffet line, BBQ place above the Lido buffet, flat-iron steaks and shrimp cocktail at dinner, omelet stations or made to order breakfast in the dining room, Guys burgers without the bun, burritos and tacos with few toppings (don't eat the tortilla) but grab some pico, room service hot wings. In fact, grab a bit of pico on the way to get your meal. It peps up everything, especially those buffet scrambled eggs.

Also keto, and I think the Blue Iguana has good options for breakfast and lunch, without a tortilla, beans, or rice.

Enjoy your cruise.

There were plenty of options for Keto on our 3 day cruise on the Liberty. With the Magic having more options than the Liberty I think you wont have any issues finding food to eat! Enjoy the Magic and your cruise.

You can get a taco salad at blue iguana

I frequently to go the salad bar, then take it to the deli and have it topped with a scoop of tuna salad.

Thank you to all who have replied with tips and suggestions. This has been helpful as I too have recently started eating Keto meal plan.

I do the low carb/keto too but when I am cruising that goes overboard. lol. It's vacation so I eat and drink all the stuff I'm not suppose to and just get back at it once I'm back home. kudo's to the ones who can actually stick to it on a cruise.

There are plenty of options on the cruise to make it simple, the hard part is not taking all the carb loaded items. I allowed myself one cheat on my last cruise and ate a few bites of cheesecake. Totally worth it. :D:D
