Oh, Chili's...


Oh, Chili's, How I Love/Hate Thee...

I had a really good workout this morning and wanted to keep the healthy-vibe going, so I suggested Chili's for lunch. I know just what to get there and I've memorized most of the nutrition facts. So I order: Black Bean Burger, sub the veggies for a side salad, the vinaigrette you have- on the side, please! She said, "Oh! The so and so vinaigrette?" Sure!

Welllllll! I was surprised when I come home to check the nutrition stats (I'm counting calories now and seeing hwo that goes). 340 calories for 2 ounces? Are you kidding me?

Here's the breakdown of my meal:

Salad- 140

Dressing- 340 (Citrus Balsamic Vinaigrette)

½ Bun- 170

Black Bean Patty- 200

Additional Toppings- 50

Total: 900


Wow. 900 calories for a healthy lunch? Oooops!

I don't see why any restaurant needs to serve a dressing with 340 calories. I should have double-checked the nutrition facts, but c'mon
