So not sure if you have an Applebee’s but here are a few great menu options… All under 550 calories but once you make the “Gina Modifications” definitely a lot lower than 550 calories!! Just another restaurant with some options… There are definitely ways to go to Applebee’s and order clean and healthy. As I find random restaurants that are found all over the country, I will continue to post a few pointers. Again if you have specifics, please feel free to ask and I can look up menus. 🙂 — I am also going to start a thread in the forum for all of us to help each other out or to start a database of clean healthy options! 🙂
Grilled Shrimp & Island Rice
Seasoned, grilled shrimp skewers on citrus island rice served with seasonal vegetables.
(ASK FOR NO BUTTER ON SHRIMP AND VEGGIES AND REPLACE RICE FOR EXTRA VEGGIES!!)
Asiago Peppercorn Steak
Our classic 7 oz. sirloin, grilled and topped with cracked peppercorn and melted Asiago cheese. Served with steamed herb potatoes and seasonal vegetables.
(LEAVE A COUPLE PIECES OF STEAK ON THE PLATE, ASK FOR NO CHEESE OR BUTTER AND REPLACE POTATOES WITH MORE VEGGIES— NO BUTTER)
Grilled Dijon Chicken & Portobellos
Marinated chicken breast grilled and topped with roasted red peppers, portobello mushrooms, Dijon sauce, and aged cheddar cheese. Served with steamed herb potatoes and seasonal vegetables.
(ASK FOR EXTRA VEGGIES INSTEAD OF POTATOES OR IF YOU ARE EATING EARLIER IN THE DAY, KEEP THE POTATOES IN JUST MAKE SURE TO SAY NO BUTTER… HEY THEY ARE STEAMED, THAT IS AWESOME!–AND REMOVE CHEESE AND DIJON SAUCE
Spicy Shrimp Diavolo
A spicy tomato-basil Diavolo sauce with chili-seasoned shrimp tossed with diced vegetables. Served over a warm bed of whole wheat penne pasta and topped with shredded Parmesan.
GREAT OPTION FOR A LUNCH MEAL… REMOVE DIAVOLO SAUCE AND MENTION NO BUTTER OR CHEESE… ENJOY THE WHOLE WHEAT PENNE FOR A LUNCH ENTRE!! AWESOME THAT THEY OFFER WHOLE WHEAT! 🙂
–IF THE DIAVOLO SAUCE IS PREMADE WITH THE TOMATO AND BASIL, ASK FOR JUST OLIVE OIL AND GARLIC OR JUST FRESH TOMATOES OVER YOUR PENNE! 🙂
Asian Crunch Salad
Grilled chicken breast served over crunchy salad greens, roasted red peppers, sugar snap peas and refreshing cucumbers. Features our tangy Asian vinaigrette and topped with sliced almonds.
(REMOVE ANY ASIAN NOODLES- DOESN’T MENTION BUT I AM SURE THEY ARE ON THERE…, ASK FOR VINAIGRETTE ON THE SIDE AND USE SPARINGLY OR ASK FOR OIL AND VINEGAR IN STEAD!) KEEP THOSE ALMONDS FOR YOUR HEALTHY FATS! 🙂
