Which sandwich/burger would be the healthiest option in your opinion?

I'm going to a restaurant with no nutritional info and I want to splurge a little (AKA not get a boring salad) and these sounded yummy to me. What would you go with?

1. Turkey Burger: Hand-formed ground turkey patty topped with guacamole, Swiss cheese, cranberry-chipotle mayo, lettuce, tomato and onion on a whole wheat bun.

2.Blackened Tilapia Sandwich: Blackened tilapia over Cajun remoulade. Served with lettuce, tomato, onion and guacamole on a whole wheat bun.

3. Smokehouse Chicken Sandwich: Grilled chicken breast smothered in our savory BBQ sauce then topped with cheddar cheese, lettuce, tomato and onion.

    Whatever you feel like... they all seem pretty even to me calorie-wise!

    The chicken or tilapia sounds good

    I personally think the first one sounds the most tasty, I couldn't tell you which one is necessarily the healthiest.

    I would guess that probably the tilapia (no cheeses) might be lowest in calories... But honestly, that's just a guess and they all sound yum!

    Definitely any of them would be good, but I'd ask for no mayo on the turkey burger and no remoulade on the tilapia.
    Besides that they all look pretty good!!

    All three sound fairly healthy and really yummy!!! Since it is a 'treat', I would go with the one that sounds the best at the time!!! Have fun and enjoy!!

    What other options are on the menu? When I go to a restaurant, how many cals or how healthy a dish is has no bearing on if i order it or not

    Not the turkey burger... I went to ruby Tuesdays and I was shocked at how many calories the turkey burger had!

    The tilapia will almost certainly be the lowest calorie wise given the lack of cheese, mayo or bbq (usually stuffed with sugars and syrup even in a 'savoury' version). But I have to say the turkey one sounds delicious!

    Thanks for your input everyone. I really appreciate it! :)

    @Acg67 The menu is huge, but I went through and picked the top 3 things I would choose regardless of if I thought they would be high in calorie or not. I don't eat beef so that ruled out a lot of burgers. There were a few pasta dishes that sounded good, but I'm just more of a burger/sandwich person.

    Did you run any of these through your food diary to see which one has the least calories for the most nutrition?

    I'd go with the turkey burger for nutritional profile & deliciousness factor, tilapia if calories were a bigger concern.

    The tilapia would be my guess....probably too late to answer though. The remoulade is going to be a iffy one though. If its traditional, then its going to contain a good amount of fat. Maybe ask for that on the side and apply it yourself (a good test to tell if its really heavy on fat, is to put a small amount in a little water...if it floats, it contains a lot of fat.)
