    Chili's is nice becuase they provide their nutritional info on their webiste. Go to Menu at Chili's Grill & Bar

    On the right side, near the bottom is a link to download the nutritional information.

      And there is a list of restaurants, with links to their nutritional info, in the Restaurants forum: http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.c...nfo-links.html

          Wow - who would have thought the steak in the fajitas (without the tortillas, obviously) would have 25 carbs? Geesh. I would have thought that would be a safe choice.

              Yeah, very surprising. Even the ribeye has 19 carbs. Ribeye should have 0 carbs - they must brush it with sugar? Geez.

              Looks like the wings and maybe the tilapia are the best bet...good luck...

                  Re: Restaurant choices, need help...

                  Wow, the tacos have 195g carbs!! I would have eaten those in my former life.

                  How about something from the Guiltless Grill menu? The grilled salmon (5g net carbs) or tilapia (3g net carbs) or carne asada (5g net carbs).

                  Side caesar salad is 11g net carbs...less if they are counting croutons which you don't eat).

                  Create your own combo: the garlic lime shrimp, salmon & sirloin would work. Don't know what the sides are.

                  Portobello mushrooms and seasonal veggies seem the only acceptable sides listed.

                  Chili's is a tough place to do this...boy lots of high carb stuff there.

                      I'm laughing because I'm wondering if you knew this one at the top of your head?!?!

                        LOL! I was thinking how many carbs are in chocolate and Twix is the first one that came to my mind (I wonder why..... ). Had to Google from there though..... Somehow Dr. Atkins forgot to add Twix on the carb counter in DANDR. Tsk.
