I'm having a nightmare, I'm going out with the girls tonight for dinner, drinks and the cinema and we've decided to go to TGI Fridays for a change (we usually go to Nando's) so as I've never been before I went ot have a look on their website and I'm met with
We don’t publish specific calorific content, but all Friday’s meals come with the Five Easy Pieces Promise – if you would like to swap your fries for vegetable or salad, just ask as we’re happy to adapt any meal to suit our guests tastes and dietary requirements.

Why on earth do TGI Fridays not publish their calorie information?! Thats rubbish!! A salad can be anywhere between 500cals and 2000cals!!! How on earth am I supposed to decide what to eat?!?!

So my question is - has anyone been to TGI Fridays and can recommend something that seems low calorie? Obviously just looking at a menu it can be difficult to pick out the best option.

Thanks in advance :-)

    HOLY CRAP! I had no idea how bad all of this junk was for you!!!!!! I would rather go to Olive Garden and load up on carbs for the amount of calories in this stuff!

    I was looking on the UK site....the American one shouldnt be too much different I guess - it's a great indication anyway. I wish I'd thought to look there! xx

    I seriously hope you are kidding..

    To OP:
    Eat what you want.. and box up half.

    Know that what is on the nutrional info would be if you ate the whole thing in one sitting, and there is nothing says you have to eat whole entree in one sitting.

    At TGI Fridays, I had their Cheesy Chicken which isn't bad.. and I also like their grilled chicken sandwich or their chicken fingers.

    You wouldn't get looked at weird - A lot of restaurants ask if you would like left-overs bagged up.
