Applebee's.How convenient to have calories, fat, and fiber listed right on the menu (okay, at least on the Weight Watchers portion). So you know before you order that the Tango Chicken Sandwich Noun 1. chicken sandwich - a sandwich made with a filling of sliced chicken sandwich - two (or more) slices of bread with a filling between them delivers 370 calories and 8 grams of fiber, for example. And while sodium numbers would help, at least you can decide whether to spend 340 calories on the Grilled Tilapia tilapia (təlä`pēə) or St. Peter's fish, a spiny-finned freshwater fish of the family Cichlidae, native chiefly to Africa and the Middle East. with Mango Salsa or 170 calories on the Grilled Shrimp Skewer Salad. And you can mull over mull over Verb to study or ponder: he mulled over the arrangements [probably from muddle] Verb 1. whether the Chocolate Raspberry Layer Cake or Berry Lemon Cheesecake is worth 230 calories. The Weight Watchers menu slashes calories. For example: * Tortilla Chicken Melt, made with reduced-fat mozzarella moz·za·rel·la n. A mild white Italian cheese that has a rubbery texture and is often eaten melted, as on pizza. [Italian, diminutive of mozza, a cut, mozzarella, from mozzare, and cheddar and vegetables in a whole-wheat tortilla with non-fat ranch dressing, has about half the 900 calories (and less than a quarter of the 60 grams of fat) of the cheese quesadillas with sour cream and guacamole you'd get at a typical Mexican restaurant. * Sizzling siz·zle intr.v. siz·zled, siz·zling, siz·zles 1. To make the hissing sound characteristic of frying fat. 2. To seethe with anger or indignation. 3. Chicken Skillet, with its veggies Veggies of Nottingham, also known as Veggies Catering Campaign, is a campaigning group based in Nottingham, England, promoting ethicalbum alternatives to mainstream fast food. , non-fat ranch dressing, and whole-wheat tortillas, has less than half the 840 calories--and a sixth of the 24 grams of fat--of the chicken fajitas fajitas Noun, pl a Mexican dish of soft tortillas wrapped around fried strips of meat or vegetables [Mexican Spanish] at most Mexican restaurants (without even counting the fajitas' sour cream, guacamole, beans, and rice). * Teriyaki ter·i·ya·ki n.

Shrimp Skewers, served with rice pilaf and vegetables, has just 260 calories--about half as much as the shrimp scampi with rice and veggies at a typical seafood restaurant. Bottom line: everything on the menu gets a Better Bite. But nothing gets a Best Bite because the chain doesn't disclose sodium.
