We know you won’t always have time to prepare a proper lunch or cook up a healthy dinner, so we’re going to make eating right anywhere much easier. eDiets has teamed up with Healthy Dining Finder to bring you the best meals at your favorite restaurants each month.
Sizzler may have built its reputation around steaks, but today this restaurant — with close to 200 locations in 15 states and 277 worldwide — has an expanded menu designed to please everyone. So along with those steaks, you can now enjoy seafood, chicken, sandwiches and a 50-item salad bar.
No need to feel you have to order steak at Sizzler. They serve up a delicious Double Hibachi Chicken, fire-grilled and topped with a tangy Hibachi sauce. Low in fat (only 4.5 grams), add a side of steamed broccoli and you have a meal for only 370 calories and zero saturated fat.
*Note: for those who like the taste of lemon — they also offer a Double Lemon Herb Chicken (depending on your mood!).
And to all of you steak lovers who simply want a good steak — Sizzler has it! I occasionally do enjoy lean red meat (it doesn’t have to be avoided like the plague) and order it out. Sizzler, known for years for their steaks, serves up a six ounce USDA steak with a side of steamed broccoli for only 310 calories (12 grams of fat and 36 grams of protein). Not bad in terms of calories and satisfies the craving for red meat.
And don’t forget about the Sizzler Salad Bar. What makes me happy is it isn’t your typical salad bar with only a few items that are mostly premade. It contains over 50 items including fresh salad items (lettuce, tomato, red onions, sliced mushrooms, and more), just picked fruit; and even hot appetizers, soups, desserts and more. Yes, I did say desserts!
But remember: adding those appetizers and soups can increase your calorie intake quickly. Stick with the fresh salad and fruit items and then splurge a little — have a bite or two of dessert (no harm there).
Check out previous picks: Chili’s, El Pollo Loco, zpizza, Blimpie.
