These popular appetizers contain enough calories to make a complete meal.
Appetizers can sometimes be the best part of a meal, especially if they’re meant to be shared and there are a variety of things to try. As delicious as the apps are, you better believe the calories add up, and the more delicious (read: fried) the apps, the higher the calorie count. Typically breaded and loaded with carbs and fat, these tasty bites can easily double as a meal. So, which appetizers are so high in calories that they exceed 2,000 calories? Here are five to know the next time you go out to eat.
Applebee’s Classic Combo
Applebee’s The Classic Combo Appetizer clocks in at 2,270 calories for a platter of boneless wings, spinach artichoke dip, chicken quesadilla, and mozzarella sticks. This is one of those apps that could serve as a meal with the added bonus of getting a little bit of everything. Win, win.
Chili Triple Dipper
Chilies Triple Dipper ranges from 1,450 to 3,040 calories depending on what you order. Chicken and Bacon Ranch Nachos are another high-calorie appetizer with 2,260 calories. “They might not look the prettiest, but they were very good!” » a fan said.
Texas Roadhouse Cactus Flower
The cactus flower Texas Truck Stops is 2,250 calories, add the ranch to that and you get 2,680 calories for a “Texas-sized golden onion fried with Cajun sauce for dipping.” The combo appetizer is another option that can easily get pretty high in calories: Hot boneless wings, rattlesnake bites, and blue cheese dressing are 1,340 calories.
Applebee’s Neighborhood Beef Nachos
Applebee’s Wedge Beef Nachos are another hearty appetizer that packs in 2,000 calories. Clearly intended for sharing, this app features freshly made white corn tortilla chips topped with taco-seasoned ground beef, white queso, melted cheddar cheese blend, house-made pico de gallo, fresh jalapeños, cilantro, sour cream and guacamole.
Fried Chili Mozzarella with Nashville Sauce
There’s another appetizer at Chili’s that’s even higher than the Triple Dipper: Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you the Fried Mozzarella with Nashville Sauce (6 Count), which clocks in at 2,440 calories for all that cheesy, melty goodness. No surprise there.
