Applebee’sDear Applebee’s,
Your Grilled Shrimp and Spinach Salad sounds very tempting. The grilled and spinach parts of the salad “appear” to be very healthy choices. But upon further investigation, it is discovered that this salad has 1160 calories! That’s almost an entire days’ calories in one meal. It’s completely unacceptable! In fact, your Grilled (there’s that healthy term to fool us again) Steak Caesar Salad without the toast is 1190 calories with 75.4 grams of fat! That’s several days worth of fat consumption in one meal, and almost an entire days’ calories in one salad. Gross!
It doesn’t need to be this way, Applebee’s. Food can taste great without leading to coronary disease. It really isn’t necessary for a salad to produce thunder-thighs and cellulite. So stop it, please. Life is hard enough without your mega-calorie salads with their low-fat sounding names trying to fool us. My suggestion is to hire a nutritionist, create new recipes, and stop trying to make us fat.
Thanks in advance for your cooperation….as I’m not a fan of thunder-thighs.

ewwwwww I just ate this last night. Purge much?
Applebees is actually one of the better ones. They have a weight watcher menu with plenty of nice choices. They make people away of the healthy choices and are willing to post their nutritiion information so people can make an informed choice. That is say more than you can say about most of the other chains.
I am a fan of Applebee’s Weight Watcher’s menu. I love the fact they have fat/calories on the menu for those items. Props there.
(editorial note) The french onion soup on the WW menu still has a lot of fat in it.
