    Any exercise will burn calories. There aren't any "Applebee's Exercises" that I'm aware of . LOL. Eat according to your usual plan the rest of the day, then get back on track tomorrow.

    Why are you saying those foods are bad? They may be high calorie, but they aren't "bad" necessarily. You can burn like 300 calories off (depending on your weight and speed an such) with an hour speedwalk. I constantly walk to burn off a little extra so I can have the noms I want (all of which are good noms....because I want them)

    First step is to log it, then decide.

    If I go over goal for lunch, I just log it. If I feel like it, I may do a bit of extra walking in the evening. If I'm not very hungry, I'll have a lighter dinner. But other than that, life happens. You don't have to do extra exercises or make special plans for dinner.

    But don't think of this as "bad." It's a meal. There's nothing inherently bad about those foods, although the quantities may have put you over your goal for one day (and one day, in the context of losing and maintaining weight, is not very long).

    Have you logged the foods in your diary yet? Make sure you know where you are in regards to your calorie goal before you panic. And you can't out-exercise a bad diet, so don't look at eating that way.
    If you eat over your calorie goal once in a while, it's not the end of the world.

    My problem with Applebee's isn't necessarily the calories, but the fact that their food tastes so darn salty to me.

    Log what you can, see how many calories you ate and either do some exercise if you're over budget or relax and realize one meal isn't going to destroy you.

    Applebee's has eight dishes that are all under 600 calories and are pretty good, too! (In my opinion.) I love their Savory Cedar Salmon dish.
