Applebee’s Weight Watcher’s Menu

Applebee’s and eating out have become synonymous.  If you are not in the mood to cook at home or feel like taking your friends or family out for a meal, the healthiest and most affordable choice would be the Applebee’s.  The various menus on offer and all of them listing the Weight Watchers points, include the Under 550 Calories Menu and the Kids Menu.  So you can feel free to take your kids out to eat at an Applebee’s without having to worry about your kids being the only ones there.

Counting calories by yourself to lose weight is no fun.  The bottom line and what should be taken into consideration while trying to lose weight is to have a diet that is properly balanced and contains all the nutrients that will aid in order to keep you healthy without having to worry about getting overweight.  Applebee’s Weight Watcher’s entrees are specially tailor made to offer just that to its customers and all the menus give a precise breakup of the calories gained against each item listed.  Weight Watcher points gained are also mentioned against each item on the Applebee’s Menu.

Here is a listing of some of the latest items on the Applebee’s Under 500 Calorie Menu.  These are dinner items and the ideal choice for diners who are conscious of counting the calories and are aiming to lose weight:

Begin with the 490 calories Asian Crunch Salad.

If you are planning to have an appetizer ask for the 500 calories Spicy Shrimp Diavolo.

For people with large appetites, the 450 calories worth, juicy and large Grilled Dijon Chicken & Portobello’s is the best choice.  It looks sinfully heavy with a covering of Dijon mayonnaise and cheese.  The portion is so huge you might end up having to take home the rest of what you could not eat.

For the entree you could order either the 390 calories Asiago Peppercorn Steak or the 290 calories Grilled Shrimp & Island rice.

The Weight Watchers menu at Applebee’s also has special items on it like Steak and Portobello’s, Garlic Herb Chicken and the new Paradise Chicken Salad which is charred breast of chicken dressed with an even mix of pineapple in salsa sauce, green apples, mandarin oranges and crisp red cabbage.

For steak eaters, the Asiago Peppercorn Steak is a terrific item containing zero fat.  The dish is a lean steak cut from the sirloin and is served with a mix of steamed veggies.

The Island Shrimp served with mandarin oranges and a tiny portion of rice is a good choice for seafood lovers.

The servings on all these items are large but you can rest assured it does not settle around your waistline. That’s a good news for all dieters who prefer to go for a healthy menu even when they are eating out.
