What to order at Applebee's

Best bet: Cedar-grilled salmon with steamed broccoli

Starters

  • Spinach and artichoke dip with celery and carrots instead of tortilla chips

Main dishes

  • Cedar-Grilled Salmon — lean protein and healthy fats; ask for broccoli or green beans
  • Grilled chicken breast with steamed broccoli or a side salad
  • Steak — leaner cuts like sirloin or top sirloin, with a low-carbohydrate side
  • Oriental Chicken Salad, grilled version; mind the dressing and crispy noodles
  • Lunch combos offer smaller portions

Sides

  • Steamed broccoli
  • Garlic mashed potatoes, small
  • Side salad

Worth knowing

  • Full nutrition information is online — worth a look before you go
  • Steamed vegetables instead of fries or rice is a normal request

Guidelines, not medical advice. Menus change — check current nutrition information where it matters.
