    Healthy is such a subjective term...

    Going by calories, there are some decent choices at TGIF. I usually like to go for a cut of meat. I think there are even some items on the menu marked "under ___ calories" or something. Or maybe that is Applebees. Anyway, I'm sure there is something you can afford in your calorie budget.

    But I usually prefer to go out to eat on my higher calorie days so I don't have to worry about it as much.

    On a separate note, every time I go there, I make sure to get their coffee. It's some of the best coffee I've had!

    Here you go - hope you have a nice meal out!

    Edit - that's for the US menu, apparently they don't publish nutritional info for the UK - shame on you TGI Friday!!

    Some of those facts are scary! And the sodium levels are insane on most everything. No wonder the US has such bad heart / high blood pressure issues.

    Sodium always gets picked on. The topics of heart health and blood pressure are fairly complex and sodium is only one small part of the equation.

    Nutrition facts can sometimes appear scary, especially at restaurants, but just make good choices and fit things in to meet your goals, and you'll be fine.

    For future reference, most chain restaurants have nutrition information readily available on their websites. :smile:

    Thanks. I am aware, and am familiar with the ways of the interwebz. Just wanted to get people's recommendations on something that would taste GOOD and not be awful for me. I don't go to TGIF often, so wanted some recommendations.
