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
