Oh. My. Word.
I actually am really trying to keep up with my New Years Resolution to pay more attention to PORTION CONTROL, reduce HIGH CALORIE/FAT foods, and EAT OUT LESS. I came across this today and was actually horrified – and now the first thing to avoid when we do eat out will be appetizers :
Worst Dip Appetizer
Chili’s Hot Spinach & Artichoke Dip with Chips
- 1,130 calories
- 90 g fat (39 g saturated)
- 2,460 mg sodium
Sure, there are artichokes and spinach in this dip, but they are drowned in cheese and mayo. These nutrition numbers are just for one serving—the plate, which you may easily plow through, surely has more than one serving.
Worst Potato Side
Dairy Queen Chili Cheese Fries
- 1,240 calories
- 71 g fat (28 g saturated, 0.5 g trans fat
) - 2,550 mg sodium
regular small fries are about 300 cal
Worst Appetizer in America
On the Border Firecracker Stuffed Jalapenos with Chili Con Queso
- 1,950 calories (again, that’s for one serving, and there are at least two in this appetizer so if you eat it yourself – well, do the math)
- 134 g fat (36 g saturated)
- 6,540 mg sodium

Wow! I’m very thankful that none of those foods appeal to me in the least!

It is amazing (sickening) that Chili’s ends up at the top of so so many ‘worst’ lists. blech.
