Weighing in at 2,710 calories and 203 grams of fat, Chili's AwesomeBlossom may seem like the worst dietary nightmare any restaurantever foisted on America's dining public, but it's not. According to Men's Health magazine's Matt Goulding, OutbackSteakhouse's Aussie cheese fries with ranch dressing and their2,900 calories and 182 fat grams are so evilly conceived he namedthem "The Worst Food in America."
To combat those delicious demons Goulding suggests starting a meatat Chili's with a side item: garlic and lime grilled shrimp. Healso noted that starting any restaurant meal with a higher proteinappetizer helps diminish hunger, especially since many restaurantsstill serving overloaded entree portions.
 
For a meal-starter at Outback he'd head for the seared Ahi tuna orshrimp on the barbie. Since restaurants still don't reveal how muchtrans fats are in their fryers, it's best to steer clear ofdeep-fried appetizers or entrees.
Goulding didn't stop with just those two diet-busters. He revealedwhat remained on his "20 Worst Foods in America." Here's a fewhighlights.
 
McDonald's Chicken Selects Premium Breast Strips: It still amazesme how a restaurant can take a high protein, low-fat piece ofchicken breast and turn it into a mealtime nightmare. Gouldingranks the Chicken Selects Premium Breast Strips with creamy ranchsauce as fast food's worst chicken meal. Just five pieces bring 830calories (60 percent from fat) and 55 fat grams (4.5 grams transfat) to the table. On The Border's Stacked Nachos Those nachos arrive with a stunning2,740 calories (54.5 percent from fat) and 166 fat grams. Do themath and you'll find that's almost 6 ounces of fat. Notsufficiently insulting; On the Border adds a hard-to-ignore 5,280milligrams of sodium. Aye carrumba.
