I went to Red Robin today with my family for lunch. I went with the grilled teriyaki chicken sandwich but took off the mayo and cheese. Just calculated the calories on their website and the calories dropped from 898 calories down to 413 calories!
I couldn't believe the difference those two items made!

    I wasn't a fan of the pineapple on it so I am not sure what kind of difference that would have though either. But I love restaurant websites that allow you to get a customized nutrition calculation.

    That's awesome! Watch out for sodium in teryaki marinated foods though as it tends to be quite high!

    Yes the sodium was higher than I would have liked but the rest of my day has been pretty light on sodium so I am currently still under my 2500 for the day.

    I really like the Chicken Ensenada platter. I get it without the tortiall strips and no cheese. It's really low in calories too and very tasty.
