I should be concerned that I normally order about half of those items listed at their restaurants. But I'm not.

Dear lord pretty much all of that has over 100 grams of fat!! And like 40 or so of saturated fat! Hah! I read all my labels in the store and feel like a fool for eating something with like 5g of saturated fats and try to avoid them like the plague. The only thing I eat loaded with that is cheese and I am not giving that up.

I eat a fair bit of restaurant food on the weekends because I am in the city out with friends, and I don't have a house there where I can cook for myself. I should start getting nutrition menus.

I am still freaked out by some of that food though, 200+ grams of fat and like 5000+ mg of sodium!! AAAAAH!!!!!!

I worked at a Chilis until very recently (worked for them for 3 years)
One of the pictures in the article didn't correspond to the item (not that its important)

The food was incredibly unhealthy and I could only eat less than half of an item, but it was amazing to see people eat the WHOLE thing, plus soda, appetizers, and dessert.
Although all chain restaurants were mandated to make the caloric content of their foods readily available, Chili's was not as straightforward as a place like Friday's
As mentioned previously, Friday's has the values right next to where the item is listed in the menu. Chili's had a small insert that was slipped into the drink menus that laid flat on the table. Very tricky!

Has anyone mentioned, or posted this as of yet?

FiveThirtyEight: Politics Done Right: The KFC Double-Down by the Numbers: Unhealthiest Sandwich Ever?

KFC's Double Down Sandwich, an in-your-face collection of bacon, cheese and something called Colonel's Sauce betwixt two fried chicken "buns",
is making waves for its unapologetic gluttony, compelling reviews out of everyone from the New York Times's Sam Sifton to the Onion's
Nathan Rabin. But is it really the caloric monstrosity that it appears?


(measured in how many Double-Downs you'd need to eat in order to match
its Fat, Sodium, and Cholesterol level... the 'DD' is the standard 1.00.)

Just do what noodle does and look for the nutrition info online before you go. I do this too and I find it really helpful. Part of why I do it is because my SO is vegetarian and I want to make sure the restaurant in question will have something he can eat.

I find it interesting that one of the worst items on that chart comes from Panera. They really try to convey an image of quality. Clearly quality is not the same as healthy.

Yeah.... There's a couple on that list I'd eat anyways, but mostly, thats disgustiing. I'm the oposite of Daniel. I can pretty much eat whatever whenever and I wont gain weight. I'll get health problems like everyone else, but I cant get fat. Not bragging, just saying..
