Bob Evans.Bob is trying to please everyone. Carb cutters get Low-Carb Choices and fat cutters get Lighter Fare Choices. Most are decent. Unfortunately, you can't tell by looking at the menu, which gives only one number (carbs or fat) per item.

The molecules of a saturated fat have only single bonds between carbon atoms; if double bonds are present in the fatty acid portion of the molecule, the fat is said to be , and sodium. Too bad those numbers aren't on the menu. Low-Carb. Go for the good entrees (Grilled Chicken or Salmon) and good sides (broccoli broccoli (brŏk`əlē) [Ital.,=sprouts], variety of cabbage grown for the edible immature flower panicles. It is the same variety (Brassica oleracea botrytis) as the cauliflower and is similarly cultivated. or Garden Salad A garden salad is a salad consisting of lettuce and simple vegetables found in a small vegetable garden such as tomatoes, carrots, onions, and dressing. with light dressing, for example) and your meal stays at 500 to 600 calories and just 5 grams of sat fat (a quarter of a day's worth). But pair the chicken or salmon with a Specialty Side Salad (with its bacon and cheese) plus buttermilk buttermilk residual fluid after removal of fat from milk in butter manufacture; a protein-rich supplement fed to pigs. ranch ranch, large farm devoted chiefly to raising and breeding cattle, horses, sheep, and goats. The cattle ranch was introduced from Latin America to Texas and the plains of the W United States and Canada. or bleu cheese dressing Noun 1. bleu cheese dressing - creamy dressing containing crumbled blue cheese blue cheese dressing dressing, salad dressing - savory dressings for salads; basically of two kinds: either the thin French or vinaigrette type or the creamy mayonnaise type and the calories jump by some 200 while the sat fat more than doubles. Worse yet are the bad entrees. The Cobb Salad The Cobb salad was a signature menu item of the legendary Brown Derby in Hollywood, a landmark restaurant in Los Angeles, California. Variations of the salad are now served in restaurants world-wide. (made with egg, bacon, and cheese) dressed with buttermilk ranch hits 950 calories and 25 grams of sat fat--more than a day's worth. If you use the light ranch dressing you'll knock off only 50 calories. And the Pork Chops Pork Chop An arrangement on the floor of the NYSE whereby clerks cover the booth of a floor broker and accept orders, phone calls, and associated tasks.

For a light lunch, the Fruit & Yogurt yogurt: see fermented milk. yogurt Semisolid, fermented, often flavoured milk food. Yogurt is known and consumed in almost all parts of the world. Plate (it's on the breakfast menu) or a Pick Two Combo like Classic Bean Soup and Garden Salad with light dressing can keep the calories under 450. Each "freshly baked roll" adds another 200 calories and 270 mg of sodium. For dinner, your best bet is the Grilled Chicken. As long as you get it with a Garden Salad with light dressing and broccoli or fresh fruit, you'll beat anything else on the Lighter Fare menu. For example, the Vegetable Stir-Fry has plenty of vegetables, but it's also got plenty of white rice. The Grilled 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 comes with a salad instead of French fries French fry n.

BUN abbr. blood urea nitrogen Blood urea nitrogen (BUN) . And while you can get the Turkey Breast with salad and broccoli, it also comes with a baked potato (not great if you skip the skin). Don't get us wrong, though. Compared to Bob Evans's (or anyone else's) regular menu, Bob's Lighter Fare wins hands down.
