Chili's

[jplatas02]

Hello Everyone.
I have a quick question. I am going to Chili’s for dinner tonight and was wondering what other people eat if and when they go there. I was thinking of getting the chicken fajita (without the wraps of course). Do they have lettuce wraps available there? Any advice would be appreciated.
Hope everyone is doing great on their weight loss/WOE journey!

Re: Chili's

I would call the location you're going to and ask whether they could do lettuce wraps.

Have you checked on-line at their website for nutritional information?

I prefer beef to chicken when eating out ... most commercial chicken is "plumped" ... it's harder to do that to beef.

Re: Chili's

Thanks for the quick reply. I did call and they said they can accomodate that request. I did look at the nutritional menu but could not find it.

I was wondering if anyone else has done something like this?

Re: Chili's

Done something like what? Asked for a lettuce wrap instead?

It's not an unusual request!

Most places won't even flinch at that request nowadays. You shouldn't have a problem, but I'd be more careful about sugar being added to the chicken in the form of spices, etc. Just be on guard!

We just got the chilis here. I have not been there (yet) I had a quick look at their menu (they also have nutritional info on line) It looks like their beef may be sugared - their salmon, chicken wings and shrimp did not look too bad. They have salad and some good dressings you could have on the side.

Thanks everyone for your reply. I might just play it safe and get a plain chicken with broccoli just to be on the safe side.

Re: Chili's

I believe Chilis has low-carb options...

Re: Chili's

Unfortunately, they nutrition site does not show how much sugar is in the food, and it is hard to determine the info for your meal---example----you get the total info for everything that comes on the plate, chicken, rice, potatoes, veggies, etc. It is not broken down per "item".

But at least you can get some idea and work with it.
