Never eating at applebees again!!!

well ...
get back on the horse tomorrow. it'll be ok

You can go there, just choose from the WW options. They have some salads and tilapia that are really good and low cal. Don't worry - just think of it as lesson learned and next time go for the lighter fare!

Had to edit, apparently my brain's spell checker is slow tonight.

I love applebees however don't like the idea that all the WW choices are not all in the same area anymore. I think its a lot more tempting for us to go to something else. Not every nice. :grumble:

I am sooooooooo ticked off! I went to appelbees and ordered the pick 3 appitizers and of course ate them all inbetween lunch and supper thinking it wouldn't be too bad. Tell me again NEVER eat the boneless buffalo wings OMG :noway: :noway: :noway: I know i binged today but HOLY crap there goes my whole MONTH of eating right.

That's all in 1 meal? Holy buckets!

Real Buffalo wings are deep-fried and tossed in a butter-based hot sauce. This is what makes them great, but not good for watching your waistline. But could I go through life never having another wing? Not an option, so the "Almost-As-Good, Not-Quite-A-Wing-But-Close" was born.

Ingredients:
2-3 pounds of boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1/2 cup - 3/4 cup 99% fat-free chicken broth
1/2 cup - 3/4 cup Franks' Red Hot Sauce (amount used depends on amount of chicken and how saucy you like it.)
Celery sticks and bleu cheese dressing for dipping; served on the side
Preparation:
Slice the breasts into 1" wide strips.

Spray a non-stick frying pan with cooking spray and brown the chicken until it's cooked through.

Mix together chicken broth and Franks' Red Hot Sauce and add them to the chicken.

Lower the heat, cover the pan, and simmer the chicken for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened and is coating the chicken in a beautiful, glossy layer of spicy goodness.

You can adjust the hotness of the chicken by adding more or less hot sauce in proportion to the chicken broth. For folks who like their wings on the mild side, 1/4 cup of hot sauce to 3/4 of broth might help keep the "heat" down. If you like your wings to be incendiary, or nuclear, as we like to say, then increase the hot sauce and decrease the broth.

Serve them with the prerequisite celery sticks and (low-fat) blue cheese dressing on the side. It's as close to an authentic Buffalo Wing experience as possible, without destroying your diet.

who has had a baked sweet potato for dinner every night for 3 nights straight. dang sweet tooth!

My kinda gal! lol I had a taste of it at my moms for Thanksgiving and had to make it once I got home because I couldn't get enough.

PS Applebees IS evil. I had this problem for New Years Eve. I didn't know they had a ww menu then.

I don't even have to put any brown sug. or butter on it. I have to stop eating one every night though! lol
They are amazing. My hubby likes the white yams, but I like the good ole fashioned orangish ones.

Wow! that stinks. Here's to lessons learned. Sorry it had to be you to learn it. But, thanks for sharing the info.

I went to TGI Friday's tonight and was pleasantly surprised by all of the new low fat and low cal menu items they have. I got the Jack Daniels Chicken which was served with yummy mashed potatoes and a generous portion of broccoli and green beans for 500 calories. My sis got shrimp skewers and broccoli for about 255 calories. Much better than Applebee's!:flowerforyou:

Hi :flowerforyou: I'm sorry you had a bad experience there.:ohwell:

My friend asked me out to dinner tonight, and I picked Applebee's. I went online last night and checked out the menu. I ordered the 7 oz steak (330 cals) with garlic and mushrooms, baked potato, and veggies. MMMM good. The steak was cooked right --juicy. I had just sour cream on my baked potato. I got out of there under 500 cals EXCEPT I saved up calories from exercising and earlier in the day to have the Sizzling apple pie with ice cream... 1089 calories! Whew! That was really scrumptious

I'm going back on Saturday to have lunch with my parents! I'm having 1/2 grilled shrimp salad for 273 calories. Good stuff.

If you plan ahead it's not so disasterous. The trick is to plan ahead and work the plan.

Oh that is so true for me on a daily basis!!! If I don't plan ahead - disaster! :embarassed:

I did this with the Longhorn Steakhouse cheese fries. My husband and I were splitting them until I found out they have 1730 calories in them. Now I get a house salad and the seasonal vegetables, lol!
