Headed to Applebee's for dinner. We usually get the 2 for $20 thing and I get the sirloin steak with the vegetables...but sharing the appetizer with my husband will probably put me over. I am thinking of just sharing the appetizer with my husband and then maybe sharing the steak with my son...it'll save us some money....that said...anyone have any healthier favorites? I have heard some of the 550 calorie meals are high in sodium...suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

    Pretty much everything you order at restaurants is loaded with sodium. That being said, I would just order anything on the 550 calorie menu and just drink tons of water and eat high potassium foods.

    I usually get their 550 calorie shrimp fajitas and a skinny bee mojito ;) usually only eat half the fajitas too which saves some calories.

    Yeah, I just looked at it...the sodium is ridiculous! I am going to have to not care about that for tonight! Thanks!

    Went there yesterday....

    I got the terriyaki shrimp one...don't get it....3,000 sodium and 450 cals.

    My friend got the under 550 steak. Only 340 calories....mfp has all the stats listed already, so I would just look.

    Did you know Applebee's is in the MFP database? You can look up pretty much their entire menu. Just search "Applebees".

    Thanks, that's what I decided after looking at the stats on the Applebee's website. One girl above mentioned a Skinny Bee Mojito...sounds fabulous!

    My favorite on the under 550 menu is the steak with shrimp or the steak with asagio cheese. They have a huge ceasar salad that comes in at 80 calories. How about letting your son and husband share the appetizer...and get a ceasar salad and share the steak with your son. Big meal....lower in calories...and still saves you the $'s.

    My sweet son is allergic to milk and eggs, so literally ALL of the appetizers are out! I'll have a bite of this and that and save the cash :)

    The tilapia is sooooo good...I order the veggies and request NO seasoning on them
