That's why I don't eat out, and when I do, I go to local vegetarian or vegan restaurants.
I think that these chain restaurants are deceptive in that they lead you to believe that their food is healthier than fast food since it's a sit-down restaurant, but it's not healthier.
I was SO PISSED OFF when I went to Applebee's and got the Cesar Salad with shrimp and the SHRIMP WAS FRIED!!!! It was just disgusting. And I asked them to go easy on the dressing and it was still drenched. So no thanks Applebee's. Never eating there again.
However, I love Chipotle, but I get the vegetarian burritos with black beans and bell peppers and lettuce, and no cheese, no sour cream, no guac and no rice. And it's delicious. And I eat half and throw the other half away.
