Ensure no breadcrumbs (Semmelbrösel) or other fillers are used inside the meatloaf. Omit mashed potatoes (Kartoffelpüree), boiled potatoes (Salzkartoffeln), or spaetzle. Request a side salad or steamed low-carb vegetables. Confirm gravy is flour-free or very minimal flour.
Watch out for
Flour/starch in gravy, breadcrumbs in meatloaf (less common in Germany but possible), starchy sides. Onions contribute carbs.
