Question about Chilis guiltless grill

My wife wanted to go out tonight and I agreed as long as I had less fattening options. We went to Chilis and I noticed they no longer have a guiltless grill section, they just use a chili with a halo icon to mark guiltless items.

So I ordered the classic sirloin, it had a chili with a halo so I assumed it was reasonable. It came with mashed potatoes with bacon and cheese and a piece of garlic toast. I thought it was strange but thought "what the hell... it has the guiltless icon"

Here is my question, is there two versions of the dish? Did I actually have to say the words "guiltless grill". If so, then that is total bull crap because I did not see that ANYWHERE on the menu. I have a feeling I got the wrong thing and I am pretty steamed about it.

    I believe you do have to specify that cuz I don't think it would come with those sides if it was guiltless :(

    i love chili's, BUT.. since becoming far more aware of my sodium intake, (and downloading a ton of nutrition guides from some of my fave restaurants as well as checking others out online for same info) i decided that chili's, even their 'healthy' options usually, just has way way too much sodium for me to enjoy having anymore :(

    For me is less about the calories and more about the sodium.. i wish more restaurants would get on board with lowering sodium on their supposedly 'healthy' choices.

    I agree about the sodium,duringI my normal days I typically keep my sodium limited to 1500mg so I was ok with increasing that today. It just really, really, really irritates me that I had to specify guiltless grill.... I feel like I was tricked.

    Yes, you have to ask for the guiltless grill version. You get veggies with it then. Sorry.
