You heard right: You don’t have to avoid one of your favorite chain restaurants when you’re counting calories and watching your waistline. The key to successful weight loss is knowing how to navigate the menu wherever you go. We spoke with Melissa Galich, RD, CDfrom Top Nutrition Coaching, and I learned the best order of Chili for weight loss.

If you’re trying to lose weight and make healthier choices, going to Chili’s should be a special treat, not a regular rotation of your meals. That being said, a dietitian shares the best way to order from this popular restaurant for those looking to lose weight.

  1. Pay attention to how the food is prepared. Opting for something grilled or baked rather than fried is a healthier option and can eliminate excess fat and calories from a meal.
  2. Have bandages nearby. “Dressings tend to be added in large quantities and can increase the [meal’s calories] very quickly,” emphasizes Galich. “Dipping in dressing or adding it yourself can be an easy way to control calories without sacrificing flavor. »
  3. Avoid creamy sauces and juices. Although they offer great flavor, they contain unnecessary calories and unhealthy fats.
  4. Choose a vegetable or side salad instead of fries. “These will be more filling due to their fiber content, lower in calories, and can provide essential nutrients to your body,” says Galich.
  5. Pass the cheese. Removing cheese from menu items like sandwiches and salads can reduce the amount of fat and calories in a meal.
  6. Eat half of your meal and save the other half. “A simple change is to eat fewer meals,” says Galich. “Even though it’s a higher calorie choice, by decreasing your portion you’re also decreasing your calorie and fat intake. You can share a meal with someone or ask for a to-go box first, then put half the meal aside so it’s not as easily accessible.
