1. The Worst Food in America
Outback Steakhouse Aussie Cheese Fries with Ranch Dressing

2,900 calories
182 g fat
240 g carbs

This weapon of mass construction is the caloric equivalent of eating 14 Krispy Kreme doughnuts, before your dinner arrives. Even if you split this "starter" with 3 friends, you'll have downed a meal's worth of calories.

Super Substitution: Both the Seared Ahi and the Shrimp on the Barbie offer a big dose of protein, which helps diminish hunger without putting you into calorie overload.

    Another one..

    Chili's Awesome Blossom

    2,710 calories
    203 g fat
    194 g carbs
    6,360 mg sodium

    It takes a special talent to turn a single oversized onion into the fat equivalent of 67 slices of bacon, but the line cooks at Chili's manage this horrific feat with the help of a thick batter, a calorie-loaded dipping sauce, and a vat of bubbling fat.

    Sidestep the Calorie Surge: Order a few skewers of lean Garlic & Lime Grilled Shrimp from the sides menu. It's one of the decent ways to start a meal at Chili's.

    What is the purpose of the ranch dressing? Why would you want to dip a cheesy onion in ranch dressing? I don't understand. Why would you put ranch dressing on chilli cheese fries. I saw my niece do that and way absolutely horrified.

    Yuck. When I'm looking at trying to limit myself to 30 to 50 grams of fat in one day, I can't imagine eating 200 grams of fat in one sitting! How disgusting!

    I know a FEW people who can eat the Outback Cheese Fries in one sitting, then go onto the outback special 9oz steak, with a loaded baked potato and the baked potato soup before the meal.
  • This is hilarious! Even my no-body-fat husband was rolling in the floor laughing. Ah, weight watcher humor!

    Ok, those folks need to start entering those eating contests. I am a foodie, but I think I would even be done in by the Cheese Fries...:laugh:

    Scary thought # 201... My husband and I used to eat an order of those between the 2 of them and then eat an 11oz steak and a loaded baked potato! Not to mention the salad and pumpernickel bread.

    yeah, except 3000 extra (yes, three THOUSAND) calories is a whole WEEK's worth of "cheat days". That defeats your entire week of 500 calorie deficits. :frown:

    I was just thinking oh thank God we dont have outback steakhouse in the UK as this removes all temptation...
    But I've checked and we have three in the whole country...one of which is just down the bloody road from my house!

    That knowledge may haunt me...
