    They have some healthy choices not our ideal version of healthy. I usually get the pico de gallo sirloin and eat half of everything and drink lots of water. I think the margarita chicken or something similar to that isnt too bad either...

    That's just insane. I'm not sure I could eat a full portion at Chili's now, even if I tried. Well, I could, but it would give me bubbleguts within five minutes.

    Yes, they are always in Eat This, Not That articles, and their burgers tend to make it to the "Not That' category most of the time!

    Margarita grilled chicken is only way to go at Chili's and even that isn't so great.. The shrimp fajitas would probably be ok if you omit the cheese and sour cream. Good luck!

    Be very careful about their "salads".

    For example their quesadilla explosion salad is 1400 calories with 2360 mg of sodium and 89 g of fat!

    I will never go to chili's again. When we went there, I ordered two side dishes - steamed broccoli and rice. I asked that nothing be added to it, just keep it plain. It came and I was happy at first because it was a cup of rice and broccoli on a separate plate. They sprayed the plate with some kind of butter/grease and completely ruined the value of the broccoli and the rice had butter in it also. I think it was 80 calories for steamed broccoli!! (It wasn't a planned trip and I only had 150 calories to work with.) I was very disappointed!

    That's fairly standard across the board for places like Chili's/Applebees

    Yeah but it is called "Quesadilla explosion" so if you cant tell that's going to be unhealthy just based on the name you should give up and go live under a rock. :laugh:

    When I went to Chili's, I got there grilled vegetable wrap. They served 3 wraps with it, I ate a 1/2 of one. That was enough, I don't know how much sodium was in it, lol

    When I splurge though, give me everything they offer, and I'll eat it guilt free.

    Still, people just think because it's call a salad it's low in calories. I know better, a lot of people do not. LOL!
