be careful eating grilled chicken out

denisec26

soo i dont do it often but if i have to grab something quick, i always go for grilled chicken,WITHOUT a pound of things on it. i started counting calories a few weeks ago and havent ate out much but today i did, i went to zaxbys and got a grilled chicken..thinking..ok, this will obv have more calories then eating at home but it wont be too bad. alas, i get home, check their website..and 1000 calories!
for grilled chicken people! burger king is less! thank god i dont eat there often...and will never again. be warned..chik-fil-a..burger king...not as bad as them.

same thing happened to me at boston pizza...1400 cals for a grilled chicken ciabata all it had was a little drop of mayo, lettuce and tomato !!!

omg. i so feel for you. i cannot believe how bad the zaxby's sandwich is. i had it a couple of months ago without planning ahead first and i was completely astonished!

Did you get the sandwich, cuz that is part of your problem if you did. The grilled chicken is not the culprit. The regular grilled chicken patty has 188 calories. I always get it on the house salad minus the fried onion things and bread, which makes it less that 500 cal for just the salad. Anytime you order a sandwich alot of the calories are coming from the bread. Not to sound mean just wanting to clarify that the chicken is not what is so bad.

That's why I try to check the websites first. For instance, a Big Zax snack meal (the fried fingers) has few calories than the Zensation salad. Check out the Today show old videos for a segment called "5 salads to avoid". One was the equivalent of a double cheeseburger, fry, and a frostie!

I love zaxby's. I get the house salad with grilled chicken and light ranch with no fried onions or toast. 339 cals, 6 carbs, 14 fat and the best part, 45 grams of protein. I actually had TWO of these for dinner tonight.

I've never heard of zaxby's but at Jack in the Box the Chicken Fajita Pita is only 300Cal and I believe the chicken is grilled
