A meal at Chili’s is always satisfying, but what’s in some of your favorite dishes might catch you off guard. Yes, fast food is bad for your health, but some of these are so overdone. Before your next visit, here are a few things you might want to know.
The Awesome Blossom Is Really Unhealthy
It’s not just the calories that make this deep-fried onion a risky choice. Loaded with sodium and trans fats, it’s basically an invitation for the worst kind of bloating. Plus, with all that grease, it’s a digestion nightmare.
The Smokehouse Bacon Triple Cheese Burger Might Kill You
Beyond the calorie count, processed meats and artificial additives fill this burger. The jalapeno ranch alone contains multiple preservatives, and the bacon’s nitrates are linked to increased health risks when consumed frequently.
No More Cheese, Please
Chili’s Skillet Queso is packed with processed dairy, artificial stabilizers, and excessive sodium. What seems like a simple cheesy dip is actually a heavily processed mix of ingredients with little real cheese.
You’re Better Off Ordering Kids’ Versions
Aside from portion control, Chili’s kids’ meals often contain fewer additives and less sodium than their full-sized counterparts. Adult entrees tend to have artificial flavors and excessive salt, which makes the kids’ menu the unexpectedly healthier choice.
The Paradise Pie Isn’t Too Sweet
Coming with artificial sweeteners and hydrogenated oils, this dessert goes beyond just a sugar rush. Beneath its sweet exterior lies a mix of processed ingredients that don’t do your body any favors.
Never Order The Quesadillas
Think quesadillas are a better choice than burgers? Chili’s Fajita Quesadillas pack just as many unhealthy ingredients, with hydrogenated oils in the tortillas and processed meats in the filling, all topped off with a heavy dose of sodium.
The Asian Salad Is Just As Bad For You
Drenched in sugary dressing and loaded with fried toppings, the salad is more deceptive than it seems. The sesame dressing often contains high-fructose corn syrup, while crispy toppings add unnecessary trans fats. Not all greens are created equal.
Artichoke Dip Is Heavy Stuff
This creamy dip isn’t just high in fat—it’s packed with artificial preservatives and sodium that can cause bloating and dehydration. Pair it with salty tortilla chips, and you’ve got a double dose of ingredients that’ll lead to lethargy.
Don’t Eat The White Chocolate Lava Cake
The White Chocolate Lava Cake brings more than just sweetness to the table. It comes with enough sugar to cause an energy crash and contains a shocking amount of unhealthy fats that linger far beyond dessert.
The Crispy Chicken Crispers
The sauce coating these Crispy Chicken Crispers may be packed with bold flavors, but it’s also drowning in sugar and salt. When combined with the crispy, fried exterior, it makes for a meal that’s as heavy as it is tasty.
