For Hardee’s keto breakfast, ask for Bacon, Egg & Cheese Biscuit fillings without the biscuit. A bunless Bacon Cheeseburger is another request to consider later in the day. Skip Hash Rounds, fries and shakes so the side doesn’t undo the bread swap.
All figures below come from the Hardee’s Nutritional Information PDF, retrieved October 24, 2026. Values are as published by the chain.
Choose breakfast fillings or a bunless burger
| Item and serving | Calories | Total carbs | Fiber | Net carbs | Protein |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sausage & Egg Biscuit, whole | 600 | 44g | 2g | 42g | 19g |
| Bacon, Egg & Cheese Biscuit, whole | 510 | 44g | 2g | 42g | 19g |
| Loaded Omelet Biscuit, whole | 590 | 44g | 2g | 42g | 19g |
| Smoked Sausage, Egg & Cheese, whole biscuit sandwich | 710 | 46g | 2g | 44g | 24g |
| Plain Biscuit, 1 | 340 | 41g | 2g | 39g | 6g |
| Sunrise Croissant, whole | 410 | 28g | 1g | 27g | 21g |
| Bacon Cheeseburger, with bun | 640 | 40g | 3g | 37g | 34g |
| Hand-Breaded Chicken Tenders, 3 pieces | 260 | 13g | 2g | 11g | 25g |
Every whole biscuit sandwich in this table includes its bread. The Sunrise Croissant isn’t a low-carb breakfast as sold, either: it lists 28g total carbs and 1g fiber. Replacing it with a biscuit isn’t the solution. A Plain Biscuit alone lists 41g total carbs.
I’d start with the bacon, egg and cheese filling for a smaller breakfast, or choose sausage if that’s what you prefer. Keep the side out of the order and choose the drink separately.
For a burger, ask for the Bacon Cheeseburger without its bun. The guide doesn’t list a separate bun or croissant; removing either bread lowers the carbs, but the table gives those sandwiches as served.
The tenders are breaded. Their 13g total carbs and 2g fiber are for the whole listed three-piece portion, before sauce. Taking bread off a sandwich and taking breading off cooked chicken are different jobs. Neither comes with an automatic zero-carb result.
Sides and drinks
| Item and serving | Calories | Total carbs | Fiber | Net carbs | Protein |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hash Rounds, small | 240 | 22g | 2g | 20g | 2g |
| Fries, small | 280 | 36g | 3g | 33g | 3g |
| Vanilla Hand-Scooped Ice-Cream Shake | 700 | 83g | 2g | 81g | 13g |
| Dasani Water, 16.9 fl oz | 0 | 0g | 0g | 0g | 0g |
| Coca-Cola Zero, 20 oz | 0 | 0g | 0g | 0g | 0g |
The small Fries and small Hash Rounds aren’t interchangeable, but both add more carbs than the estimated biscuit-free breakfasts below. Neither belongs in the suggested low-carb orders. A shake is dessert with a straw; its protein doesn’t erase its carbs.
Dasani Water and the listed Coca-Cola Zero portion give you counted drink choices. Keep the exact drink name in mind. A familiar brand logo isn’t a carb count.
Hardee’s nutrition guide doesn’t list separate dipping sauce or burger-condiment portions. Keep sauce on the side and count it from its label if you use it; the orders below include no added sauce.
Complete orders, counted
The first four orders estimate the breakfast filling by subtracting one Plain Biscuit from the whole sandwich, then adding bottled water. This assumes the removed biscuit matches the separately listed portion and nothing replaces it.
| Order (first four: estimate) | Calories | Total carbs | Net carbs | Protein |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sausage & Egg, biscuit removed + bottled water | 260 | 3g | 3g | 13g |
| Bacon, Egg & Cheese, biscuit removed + bottled water | 170 | 3g | 3g | 13g |
| Loaded Omelet, biscuit removed + bottled water | 250 | 3g | 3g | 13g |
| Smoked Sausage, Egg & Cheese, biscuit removed + bottled water | 370 | 5g | 5g | 18g |
| Comparison: whole Bacon, Egg & Cheese Biscuit + small Hash Rounds | 750 | 66g | 62g | 21g |
| Comparison: whole Bacon Cheeseburger + small Fries | 920 | 76g | 70g | 37g |
These aren’t large breakfasts, especially the bacon version. Decide whether the portion suits your appetite before ordering.
The comparison rows retain their bread and sides. They’re here to show why ordering a standard meal and calling it low-carb doesn’t work. The calculated breakfast fillings only apply after the biscuit is actually omitted.
How to order
- Choose a current sandwich by name, such as Bacon, Egg & Cheese Biscuit or Loaded Omelet Biscuit.
- Ask if the filling can be served without the biscuit, with no replacement bread or side.
- If you’re ordering a burger, ask for no bun and confirm the request can be filled.
- Decline Fries, Hash Rounds and a shake.
- Choose bottled water or the listed Coca-Cola Zero portion.
- Check the container and log any additions separately.
