Worst Tex-Mex Entree
Chili's Fajita Quesadillas Beef with Rice and Beans, 4 flour tortillas, and condiments
2240 calories
92 g fat (43.5 g saturated)
6390 mg sodium
253 g carbohydrates
Since when has it ever been a smart idea to combine 2 already calorie- and sodium-packed dishes into one monstrous meal? This confounding creation delivers nearly a dozen Krispy Kreme original glazed donuts' worth of calories, the sodium equivalent of 194 saltine crackers, and the saturated fat equivalent of 44 strips of bacon. Check please!

Worst Turkey Burger
T.G.I.Friday's California Turkey Burger
950 calories*
There was a time when turkey was a reliably lean substitution for ground beef, but then eager-to-please restaurants started "beefing" up the turkey by slathering it with oil, increasing the portions, and sticking it between 2 buns dripping with butter. Pastoral as this burger may sound, it can't escape the fact that it elivers more calories than a Wendy's Baconator. Unfortunately, T.G.I.Friday's doesn't offer anything decent in the burger department, so if you want something meaty to nibble on, you'd better go with a half rack of ribs (500 calories*).
Worst "Healthy" Chicken Sandwich
Denny's Grilled Chicken Sandwich with Honey Mustard Dressing
970 calories
58 g fat (10 g saturated)
2070 mg sodium
69 g carbohydrates
Here's a distinction you should familiarize yourself with: honey mustard versus honey mustard dressing. If you're like most people ,you probably assume they're 2 terms for the same thing, and that's exactly what Denny's is banking on. The truth is honey mustard dressing, unlike honey mustard, is calorically more akin to ranch or mayonnaise than it is to mustard. Don't waste the calories; instead look for items labeled Fit Fare - they represent the best Denny has to offer.
