Cheesecake Factory's Low Carb Cheesecake

• Taking a poll: Cheesecake Factory's Low Carb Cheesecake, safe or dangerous?

  econguyinKC According to Cheesecake Factory's own literature, a slice of their low carb cheesecake has approx. 11 net carbs (thanks to the sugar alcohols.) I know sugar alcohols affect different folks differently.
  For the folks who've tried this, what's been your experience? No real problems? Throw you out of ketosis? Just wondering, cause my birthday is coming up and I'm looking for a treat! :-)
  • deleted I ate it, didn't stall me and was delicious. The key is recognizing it is a treat. You can make your own with fewer carbs, but then you have a whole pie to contend with vs. just one slice so...
  • sassytaters I haven't had it, but just wanted to clear something up. All you can really do is go by the nutrition info they've provided. What I'm finding says 11 net carbs (though on the actual chart, the Total Carbs are 37 and the fiber isn't listed). Sugar alcohols like erythritol and xylitol can generally be subtracted from total carbs, but that cheesecake appears to be made with Splenda. Splenda is not a sugar alcohol. It's an artificial sweetener, and the granulated form does have carbs (24 per cup). So, I would guess that the 11g net carbs they're listing are coming from the nut crust and the Splenda and the few stray carbs from the cream cheese, sour cream, lemon juice, whatever they make their filling with. So as long as you count it as 11g of carbs and eat sensibly the rest of the day, I don't think you'll have any problems.
  • unique_username_47 I've had it two times. Each time I was really watching the carbs for the other meals that day. MFP says the cheesecake has 49 total carbs! I actually skipped dinner and just had the cheesecake, and I felt fine both then and the next day. Wouldn't recommend doing it too often, but for your birthday, you should do it with a clean conscience! (But just one piece).
  • Lukedriftwood The website say it's sweetened with Splenda, which is not a sugar alcohol.
  • WhySheHateMe Im pretty sure they use Splenda baking mix in their low carb cheesecake...so it's not very keto friendly I would think
• Cheesecake Factory ... Is the low carb cheesecake worth it?

  kyleneum13 Visiting Texas and going out to dinner with a friend tonight. Of all places she picks Cheesecake Factory ... I was hoping for some good old Texas BBQ but I digress.
  I'm super content getting the salmon and steamed veggies for dinner but then saw they have a low carb cheesecake with 11 net carbs (high calories but I'm semi lazy ketoing today due to start of shark week). Honestly at this point a dessert has to be pretty tasty for me to allow the extra carbs and calories so wondering if anyone has had it and whether it's worth getting?
  • Zsofia_Valentine I haven't tried it, but... in your situation I might get a slice to go and eat it a few bites at a time over a few days. I bet it is super rich and that is a lot of carbs and calories to spend on dessert in one sitting.
  • susaneec I've had it and it was nice. I had planned around it and didn't go over my carbs. I agree with what the other poster has suggested. Get it and divy it up over the next few days. Especially for shark week, it might be a pleasant treat.
  • deleted It's still has 31 grams of carbs(after subtracting the fiber).

11 of the Best Cheesecake Factory Keto Menu Options

Hip 2 Keto2021
There's more than just cheesecake at The Cheesecake Factory. The Cheesecake Factory Menu is a whopping 21 pages long with over 250 different items. Trying to navigate through the menu to find low-carb and keto options can be downright overwhelming! However, we've got ya covered with six of the best keto meals that you can order to help you stay low carb while enjoying a delicious Cheesecake Factory dish.

Appetizers

• Edamame
  Edamame is simply steamed soybeans, and when you add a little salt, they make a tasty appetizer that even your non-keto dinner companions will love.
• Stuffed Mushroom
  Unlike a lot of other stuffed mushroom recipes, these aren't made with breadcrumbs, yay! They stuff them with Fontina and Parmesan cheeses & garlic and then top them with a white wine sauce so you get all the flavor without the added carbs. Just note there are some added sugars so if you're trying to stick to strict keto, you'll want to avoid this dish.
• Chipless Nachos
  Keep your nachos low carb by opting for lettuce instead of chips! I've ordered nachos this way at various restaurants and let me tell you, it's still a yummy meal even without the chips. Just use a fork and dig in!

  The chef might question the lettuce substitute, so just politely let them know you take full responsibility for the outcome of swapping the chips for lettuce. This is a delicious low carb meal that you can order just about anywhere that sells nachos.

• Tossed Green Salad
  The Cheesecake Factory's Tossed Green Salad is keto as long as you nix the croutons, and you can enjoy some other salads as well with a few tweaks. Order the Greek salad with vinaigrette on the side, or order the Factory Chopped Salad without corn or apple and get the vinaigrette on the side as well.

Main

• Omelettes
  Did you know that the Cheesecake Factory serves egg dishes all day?! If you love breakfast, it's a no-brainer to order a low-carb omelette. Yep, even for dinner! The delicious spinach, mushroom, bacon, and cheese omelette has just 6g of net carbs. The California omelette packed with avocado, mushrooms, tomato, shallots, sour cream, jack cheese, & more has only 8g net carbs, so both are wonderful options when you're craving a savory and filling meal.
• Steaks
  The Chargrilled New York Steak, Grilled Rib-Eye Steak, and Filet Mignon all come with mashed potatoes and your choice of vegetable, so just swap the potatoes for another vegetable. For the Carne Asada Steak, ask them to replace the corn with a different veggie and order a side salad instead of the rice.
• Bacon-Bacon Cheeseburger
  Order a hamburger with bacon and cheese, ask them to hold the bun and the special sauce! Pair it with a side of veggies or side salad for a filling low-carb lunch or dinner.
• Tuscan Chicken
  Chicken can be a tricky main dish to order at The Cheesecake Factory since so many of the options come with extra sauces that make getting an accurate carb count pretty difficult. Luckily, the Tuscan Chicken features grilled chicken breast with tomatoes, artichokes, capers, fresh basil, and balsamic vinaigrette served over fresh vegetables and farro (whole grains). It has around 14g of net carbs, so ask for no farrow to bring your carb count down.
• Grilled Salmon
  This salmon dish clocks in at 15g net carbs, and even better, it doesn't come with any starchy sides! You can pick two of your own, so opt for broccoli and grilled asparagus to keep your meal as low-carb as possible.
• Pan-Seared Branzino Fish with Lemon Butter & Vegetables
  This delicious dish only has around 14g carbs and 4g of fiber for a total of 10g net carbs. Not bad considering the majority of The Cheesecake Factory Menu items have well over 100 carbs.
• Seared Tuna Tataki Salad
  This salad has around 11g net carbs and features fresh Ahi tuna lightly seared and served rare with avocado, tomato slices, and mixed greens with wasabi Vinaigrette on the side. Skip the tomatoes and you'll save a few carbs.

Cheesecakes

• WARNING! Don't be Fooled
  While The Cheesecake Factory menu has a slice of cheesecake that claims to be low carb, it's really not, and if you want to keep it keto then avoid this dessert (even though it looks OMG incredibly yummy). It clocks in at 42g total carbs with 10g of fiber for a total of 32g net carbs.
