50 Most Caloric Dishes in America

Meet the worst of the worst.

As Americans become more aware about what they're chowing down on, restaurants are providing healthier options in line with dietary needs. And while you might think the presence of the ever-expanding lighter fare selections on menus is helping you stick to your better eating habits, that's far from the case. There are still plenty of unhealthy restaurant meals.

Here's the problem: those less healthy options lurking on menus are some of the least nutritious, most caloric, most horrifying choices we've ever seen on a menu. (And, trust us, we've looked.) In fact, with some of the dishes we discovered below, you can top over a day's worth of calories—2,000—in just a single meal.

That's right. The days of supersizing aren't as far in the past as you might think. So when it comes to choosing a decent option when dining out, read on to discover the things you definitely should not order, as these are the 50 most calorie-heavy, unhealthiest restaurant dishes in America, ranked from least to most caloric. And to help you stay on track, try out any of these 21 Best Healthy Cooking Hacks of All Time.

P.F. Chang's Crispy Honey Chicken

1,120 calories, 60 g fat (9 g saturated fat, 1 g trans fat), 750 mg sodium, 87 g carbs (1 g fiber, 38 g sugar), 47 g protein

Chicken may be one of the best proteins to keep that belly flat, but when it's deep-fried and smothered in sweetness and salt, it'll put you in major diet debt. Not to mention this dish is void of vegetables and set on a bed of blood sugar–spiking white rice. We suggest taking a hard pass next time you visit P.F. Chang's.

Buffalo Wild Wings Cheese Curd Bacon Burger

1,210 calories, 83 g fat (35 g saturated fat, 4 g trans fat), 2,790 mg sodium, 50 g carbs (4 g fiber, 9 g sugar), 68 g protein

You'd never hear us suggest heading out for a cheeseburger with fries—but the truth is, you're better off ordering that compared to this meal. BWW manages to deep-fry cheese and place it on top of a burger. And those 4 grams of trans fat? Scary stuff, along with the amount of fat here, too.

Friendly's Double Bacon Cheeseburger with Fries

1,228 calories, 68 g fat (23 g saturated fat, 0.1 g trans fat), 2,250 mg sodium, 84 g carbs (5 g fiber, 13 g sugar), 65 g protein

This Friendly's burger is far from our BFF. Two patties each loaded with cheese is already just one too many, and let us not forget about the bacon in there, too.

IHOP Colorado Omelette

1,250 calories, 34 g fat (36 g saturated fat, 1 g trans fat), 2,930 mg sodium, 19 g carbs (2 g fiber, 6 g sugar), 77 g protein

Dinner and breakfast mixed into one? No wonder this dish is so high in fat! Stuffed with bacon, shredded beef, pork sausage, and ham, this egg treat is far from flat-belly-friendly. And guess what? This dish has five times the amount of fat than this chain's Original Buttermilk three-stack pancakes. We never thought we'd say this, but you'd be far better off ordering some pancakes than downing this meal.

Friendly's New England Fish 'N' Chips

1,301 calories, 84 g fat (13 g saturated fat, 0.2 g trans fat), 1,822 mg sodium, 89 g carbs (5.2 g fiber, 14 g sugar), 43 g protein

"Tavern-battered" cod fillets are deep-fried and then served alongside a mayonnaise-drenched side of slaw and some tartar sauce. Maybe opt for a less battered piece of fish the next time you're craving something from the sea. With over a day's worth of fat and almost sodium, you're better off splitting this entree in half, or, better yet, thirds.

P.F. Chang's Chicken Pad Thai

1,320 calories, 39 g fat (7 g saturated fat, 0 g trans fat), 2,730 mg sodium, 190 g carbs (9 g fiber, 50 g sugar), 53 g protein

Made with thin rice noodles, Thai spices, onion, and peanuts, this dish seems harmless. But it's much high in calories, sodium, and sugar than you would've thought.

Denny's The Grand Slamwich with Hashbrowns

Courtesy of Denny's

1,320 calories, 85 g fat (28 g saturated fat, 1 g trans fat), 3,320 mg sodium, 87 g carbs (3 g fiber, 10 g sugar) 52 g protein

Caution: Eat at your own risk. Denny's took breakfast sandwich to a whole new level—and not in a good way. With eggs, sausage, bacon, ham, cheese, and potato bread covered in "maple spice" (read: sugar) and hash browns, you're putting your dietary progress into a major setback. In fact, this meal serves you nearly 70% of your day's calories. And if that doesn't give you enough of a reason to declare this offer a foul ball, try this: You'd be chowing down on just 4 grams less than two day's worth of fat.

McDonald's Big Breakfast with Hotcakes

1,340 calories, 64 g fat (25 g saturated fat, 0.5 g trans fat), 2,090 mg sodium, 155 g carbs (6 g fiber, 48 g sugar), 35 g protein

There's a reason this breakfast ranked worst in our roundup of Every Menu Item at McDonald's—Ranked!. One meal is filled with hot cakes, biscuits, scrambled eggs, sausage, and hash browns! Sounds like enough food to fill an entire table. In fact, this serving wipes out your entire day's worth of fat, more than a day's worth of saturated fat, and just skims your day's worth of sodium and sugar. And chances are, you still have two more meals and a few snacks throughout your day. Next time you hit the Golden Arches, just say no to this option.

Red Lobster Cajun Chicken Linguini Alfredo

Courtesy of Red Lobster
1,340 calories, 60 g fat (24 g saturated fat, 3 g trans fat), 3,530 g sodium, 116 g carbs (11 g fiber, 5 g sugar), 81 g protein

This Red Lobster pasta dish sounds like a mouthful because it is! Here's a pasta hack: If it's covered in white sauce, we advise you to stay away. This creamy pasta dish is loaded up with cajun-spiced chicken and garlic parmesan sauce, all over a bed of carb-heavy pasta. The truth is: Pasta's really not that bad—it's the processed American pasta sauces loaded with excess calories, mounds of salt, and buckets of added sugar that give the plates of noodly heaven such a bad reputation. Plus, meals like this are often made with oils that are full of inflammatory omega-6's—a stark contrast to the fat-burning oleic acid found in extra virgin olive oil, which is used in authentic sauces.

Olive Garden Chicken & Shrimp Carbonara

Courtesy of Olive Garden

1,390 calories, 94 g fat (50 g saturated fat, 3 g trans fat), 2,050 mg sodium, 75 g carbs (3 g fiber, 10 g sugar), 64 g protein

Olive Garden's menu is in major need of a touchup. Its average dinner-size plate of pasta packs a staggering 976 calories—thanks in part to the soggy plate of carbs pictured above. This particular seafood entree is swimming in pools of sodium and fat. It also serves up trans fat, an artificial fat that's been linked to heart disease. All of this is before you tack on the breadsticks and salad.

Chili's Quesadilla Explosion Salad

1,410 calories, 94 g fat (29 g saturated fat, 0.5 g trans fat), 2,230 mg sodium, 82 g carbs (9 g fiber, 17 g sugar), 63 g protein

This salad is quite the deceiving demon. At first, it seems like the best of both worlds: You get a great bed of veggies and a few slices of gooey quesadillas. But if that sounds too good to be true to you, good! Your subconscious is telling you the truth. This salad holds onto more than the recommended daily intake of salt, fat, and saturated fat. And scariest of all, the salad also somehow manages to pack in trans fat.

Chipotle Carnitas Burrito

Chipotle burritos

1,425 calories, 67 g fat (23.5 g saturated fat, 0 g trans fat), 3,080 mg sodium, 143 g carbs (21 g fiber, 10 g sugar), 56 g protein

It may be delicious, but it's far from nutritious. This fully-loaded burrito from Chipotle has more than a day's worth of salt and fat. In fact, it has more fat than six hot dogs—and who would ever eat six hot dogs in one sitting? But that's not all. This meal serves up more carbs than you'd find in nearly six whole-grain dinner rolls! Although almost everything in this burrito is carb-heavy, the tortilla carries 46 grams, and the choice of white rice adds in another 40 grams—numbers which are destined to make your belly feel bloated.

IHOP Country Fried Steak & Eggs with Sausage Gravy

Courtesy of iHOP
1,440 calories, 93 g fat (29 g saturated fat, 2.5 trans fat), 3,530 mg sodium, 110 g carbs (7 g fiber, 9 g sugar), 41 g protein

When you see "fried" and "steak" next to each other on your breakfast menu, you should know the meal is bad news. No matter what the chefs serve it with, and no matter where you place the order, it's a bad idea for your body—especially with all the calories, fat, and sodium you get at this dish from IHOP.

Applebee's Fish & Chips

Courtesy of Applebee's

1,490 calories, 103 g fat (18 g saturated fat, 1 g trans fat), 3,220 mg sodium, 100 g carbs (9 g fiber, 15 g sugar) 42 g protein

Applebee's strikes again. Don't blame the fish—the seafood is packed with lean, muscle-building protein and heart-healthy fats. No, the trouble here lies with a massively unbalanced fish-to-fat ratio. A coating of crispy batter and a heaping pile of deep-fried potatoes is no way to treat the golden child of nutrition. When it comes to seafood, always abandon ship on fried fish and opt for grilled instead.

On The Border Dos XX 3 Fish Taco

On The Border Mexican Grill and Cantina/Facebook
1,500 calories, 102 g fat (28 g saturated fat, 0.5 g trans fat), 3,650 mg sodium, 105 g carbs (2 g fiber, 6 g sugar), 41 g protein

This one dish from On The Border stacks your plate with nearly 75% of your day's worth of calories. This deep-fried, beer-battered fish dish also carries too much sodium for comfort—you'll be reaching for the nearest glass of H2O left and right! We didn't even bother to throw in the side of Mexican rice and beans you can add on, which would tack on an additional 400 calories.

Olive Garden Tour of Italy

1,550 calories, 98 g fat (50 g saturated fat, 1.5 g trans fat), 3,150 mg sodium, 99 g carbs (7 g fiber, 12 g sugar), 72 g protein

Although it's cheaper than a flight to the homeland of pasta and pizza, this dish is far from authentic, and it will set you back on nearly two days worth of fat. In other words, choosing this dish may be easy on the wallet, but at a costly price to your body. And we can't get over this dish's alarming sodium count of 3,250 milligrams. Not sure what that means? It's estimated that those tiny packets of salt at fast-food chains serve you 189 mg of sodium. So with this meal alone, you're consuming nearly 17 of those!

Bonefish Grill 3 Bang Bang Shrimp Tacos with Fries

1,560 calories, 98 g fat (23 g saturated fat, 1 g trans fat), 3,820 mg sodium, 129 g carbs (14 g fiber, 20 g sugar), 40 g protein

Bonefish serves you a dish filled with more than 100 percent of your day's recommended intake of fat and sodium! This Mexican-inspired dish is far from authentic—the white carb-based tortillas, crema, and oil-soaked shrimp will leave you feeling like you need to unbutton your jeans. Even if you shared this dish with your friends, you'd be taking in more salt than what you'd get from seven servings of Cool Ranch Doritos. That doesn't sound appetizing when you're trying to lose belly fat.

Olive Garden Chicken Alfredo

Courtesy of Olive Garden

1,570 calories, 95 g fat (56 g saturated fat, 2 g trans fat), 2,290 mg sodium, 96 g carbs (5 g fiber, 6 g sugar), 81 g protein

Yes, normally we say go for it when it comes to ordering a lean protein and carbs. But this fat-laden dish does not do the iconic pair any justice. Adding chicken to the creamy-based pasta does bump up the protein, but it also adds extra calories, fat, saturated fat, trans fat, and sodium to this already heavy carb dish.

Applebee's Breadsticks with Alfredo Sauce

1,590 calories, 96 g fat (48 g saturated fat, 2 trans fat), 2,880 mg sodium, 137 g carbs (6 g fiber, 16 g sugar), 45 g protein

Who would've thought an order of just bread and some sauce would be this high in calories and sodium? And this is without your meal! Alfredo sauce is very creamy, and paired with a few breadsticks you can easily polish off before your entree arrives, you'll be exceeding your daily allotment very quickly.

Friendly's Clam Strips Platter

1,596 calories, 92 g fat (16 g saturated fat, 0.1 g trans fat), 2,715 mg sodium, 166 g carbs (11 g fiber, 62 g sugar), 41 g protein

Unless you're getting ready to host a party or split this for the table, there's no rhyme or reason to ever order a menu item that contains the word "platter." More often than not it's code for "way too many calories, carbs, and fat." Don't believe us? This bland bowl of beige serves you more fat than six servings of McDonald's greasy, oil-coated French fries.

Red Lobster Admiral's Feast

Courtesy of Red Lobster

1,650 calories, 98 g fat (10 g saturated fat, 1 g trans fat), 5,000 mg sodium, 129 g carbs (9 g fiber, 18 g sugar), 64 g protein

With French fries, Caesar salad, and Caesar dressing, you can argue we specifically picked French fries to get the highest calorie count we could find—and you'd be right. But even picking broccoli instead of the fries with this meal still brings you up to 2,280 calories. Switch to a Garden Salad and Honey Mustard dressing with broccoli, and you're still at 2,000 calories. You can thank the deep-fried shrimp, bay scallops, clam strips, and flounder for the sky-high calorie count. Forget this meal if you're looking to lose weight, and then read up on these 55 Best Ways to Boost Your Metabolism to enhance your pound-dropping efforts.

On the Border The Big Bordurrito Steak

1,750 calories, 98 g fat (36 g saturated fat, 2 g trans fat), 3,770 mg sodium, 156 g carbs (13 g fiber, 12 g sugar), 65 g protein

You knew it would be big, but ever wonder how big? Somehow, On The Border crafted a burrito with over two day's worth of fat. For this insanely large wrap, you'd be chowing down on the equivalent of 12 Whoppers from Burger King. Here's a trick: if the chain labels a dish as big, remember that it's only going to make you even bigger.

Applebee's Four-Cheese Mac & Cheese with Honey Pepper Chicken Tenders + Breadstick

1,610 calories, 68 g fat (25 g saturated fat, 1 g trans fat), 3,350 mg sodium, 178 g carbs (8 g fiber, 43 g sugar), 65 g protein

Attack of the sodium and sugar! Whenever your dinner is a mashup of two of your favorite foods (like chicken tenders and mac and cheese), you know you're in trouble. Choosing a dish like this is easily one of the 40 Bad Habits That Give You Belly Fat. The spice from the pepper may boost your metabolism, but it'll be fighting an uphill battle against all those calories, fat, and sodium.

Cracker Barrel Southern Fried Chicken

1,640 calories, 100 g fat (23 g saturated fat, 0 g trans fat), 4,730 mg sodium, 78 g carbs (9 g fiber, 0 g sugar), 108 g protein

We give props to Cracker Barrel. They've managed to knock out a day and a half's worth of fat and two days' worth of sodium in just one serving of beige, breaded, deep-fried chicken. And adding on two sides and biscuit, free of charge is certainly overkill. If you're really craving this Cracker Barrel Chicken? Split it into four. You and your family members will have just the right amount of food. Your bellies and bank account will thank you.

Friendly's Double Honey BBQ Burger with French Fries

1,764 calories, 104 g fat (40 g saturated fat, 0.1 trans fat), 3,293 mg sodium, 117 g carbs (7 g fiber, 31 g sugar), 90 g protein

Friendly's takes two USDA choice burger patties and smothers them in a sugar-laden honey BBQ sauce (to help you reach 60% of your DV of added sugars), melted cheddar cheese, crispy fried onion strings, applewood-smoked bacon, and Ranch dressing.

Outback Steakhouse: Baby Back Ribs, Full Order, with Aussie Fries

1,820 calories, 115 g fat (45 g saturated fat, 1 g trans fat), 1,860 mg sodium, 78 g carbs (<1 g fiber, 14 g sugar), 129 g protein

With 129 grams of protein, the full order of ribs from Outback Steakhouse offers an excess of protein as well as fat and calories. If this is your go-to, try cutting it to the half order and pairing it with a side salad or steamed veggies for a more balanced and nutritious meal.

Chili's Bacon Ranch Beef Quesadilla

1,820 calories, 136 g fat (46 g saturated fat, 2 g trans fat), 4,010 mg sodium, 69 g carbs (4 g fiber, 10 g sugar), 82 g protein

With nearly a day's worth of calories and more fat than 10 hot dogs, this dish isn't doing you any favors. And if you thought you could get a pass by splitting this with a friend, think again! You're consuming 2.8 times the recommended daily intake of saturated fat. In fact, if you're trying to keep that belly flat, you'll want to avoid all options with the word "quesadilla" at Chili's—every one of them has over 1,000 calories per serving.

Cheesecake Factory Fish & Chips

1,860 calories, 121 g fat (24 g saturated fat, 1 g trans fat), 2,960 mg sodium, 133 g carbs (9 g fiber, 32 g sugar), 53 g protein

Fish is normally one of the healthiest foods for you, but that doesn't count if it's deep-fried and served with a side of fries.

TGI Fridays Chicken Parmesan Pasta

TGI Fridays
1,890 calories, 107 g fat (43 g saturated fat, 1.5 g trans fat), 4,130 mg sodium, 154 g carbs (9 g fiber, 22 g sugar), 74 g protein

Chicken Parmesan is one of those dishes that you know isn't necessarily the best for you, but this version from TGI Fridays nearly two days' worth of sodium and almost as many calories as one person should eat in an entire day.

Applebee's Oriental Chicken Salad Wrap

1,910 calories, 114 g fat (20 g saturated fat, 1 g trans fat), 2,920 mg sodium, 180 g carbs (10 g fiber, 38 g sugar), 43 g protein

Applebee's took one of the most beloved salads on the menu and turned it into the wrap. The only problem? That salad was already problematic, to begin with, as it comes in at over 1,500 calories. Tossing it inside a wrap only makes things worse.

Cheesecake Factory Fried Shrimp Platter

Trebor G./Yelp

1,920 calories, 104 g fat (21 g saturated fat, 1 g trans fat), 3,160 mg sodium, 191 g carbs (13 g fiber, 38 g sugar), 50 g protein

"With over half of its calories from fat, this shrimp platter will not do you any nutritional favors," says registered dietitian Jenn Fillenworth, MS, RD. It's better to choose proteins that are baked or grilled to avoid the excessive fat that fried foods typically have, she advises.

O'Charley's Seafood Platter

Octavia M./Yelp

1,950 calories, 121 g fat (22 g saturated fat, 0 g trans fat), 2,970 mg sodium, 141 g carbs (9 g fiber, 27 g sugar), 71 g protein

This dish comes with fried cod, shrimp, and stuffed crab, along with a side order of fries and coleslaw, plus tartar and cocktail sauces. That is a hefty combination!

Cheesecake Factory Chicken Parmesan Sandwich

1,960 calories, 126 g fat (65 g saturated fat, 3.5 g trans fat), 3,510 mg sodium, 99 g carbs (6 g fiber, 9 g sugar), 107 g protein

Throw a breaded, fried patty of chicken between two slices of bread and serve with a side of fries—no wonder you'll consume more calories than a pint of Ben & Jerry's during lunch.

Uno Pizzeria & Grill Pizza Skins

1,970 calories, 131 g fat (43 g saturated fat, 0 g trans fat), 2,800 mg sodium, 146 g carbs (7 g fiber, 8 g sugar), 53 g protein

This deep-dish-style mini pizza is listed under an appetizer, so it's meant to be shared. But this could easily fill in as an entree, and usually choosing an app over a main course is supposed to be better for you. Not the case here!

Olive Garden: Asiago Tortelloni Alfredo with Grilled Chicken

Olive Garden
1,980 calories, 131 g fat (76 g saturated fat, 2.5 g trans fat), 3,720 mg sodium, 95 g carbs (5 g fiber, 9 g sugar), 112 g protein

A creamy pasta dish is certainly delicious, but this meal from Olive Garden far exceeds recommended amounts for calories, fat, sodium, and even protein. With 114 grams of protein, the Asiago Tortelloni Alfredo with Grilled Chicken is way over the recommended 46 to 56 grams per day. What's the harm? As it turns out, excess protein can heighten your risk of kidney stones and cancer.

Cheesecake Factory Cinnamon Roll Pancakes

2,040 calories, 110 g fat (51 g saturated fat, 3.5 g trans fat), 2,950 mg sodium, 241 g carbs (2 g fiber, 137 g sugar), 23 g protein

You could almost eat three Cinnabon Classic Cinnamon Rolls for the same number of calories!

Cheesecake Factory Farfalle with Chicken and Roasted Garlic

2,060 calories, 123 g fat (50 g saturated fat, 2.5 g trans fat), 3,830 mg sodium, 153 g carbs (13 g fiber, 17 g sugar), 88 g protein

Yet another pasta dish from The Cheesecake Factory? What are they putting in all of their sauces to make these pounds of pasta climb to thousands of calories? In this case, it's apparently chicken, roasted garlic, and peas.

Buffalo Wild Wings Spicy Garlic Boneless Wings, 30 Count

Yasser A./Yelp
2,090 calories, 117 g fat (40 g saturated fat, 6 g trans fats), 13,080 mg sodium, 113 g carbs (5 g fiber, 2 g sugar), 147 g protein

At Buffalo Wild Wings, people often think the bigger the better, because come on, it's only chicken! But beloved BWW fans, think again. Among their long list of variations of wing sauces and seasonings, Spicy Garlic is one of the worst! These are soaked in sodium, fat, and calories. Like we always say less is more—stick with a simpler rendition of the chicken wing.

Romano Macaroni Grill Mama's Trio

2,110 calories, 129 g fat (56 g saturated fat, 2.5 g trans fat), 3,940 mg sodium, 140 g carbs (9 g fiber, 19 g sugar), 103 g protein

Mamma mia! This trio of chicken parmesan, lasagna bolognese, and fettuccine alfredo hits your caloric limit for the day and then stacks on an extra 1,600 milligrams of sodium.

Bob Evans Double Meat Farmer's Choice Breakfast

2,110 calories, 100 g fat (31.5 g saturated fat, 1 g trans fat), 4,040 mg sodium, 236 g carbs (6 g fiber, 41 g sugar), 65 g protein

With three hotcakes, two freshly-cracked eggs, two sausage patties, three strips bacon, and homefries, this is one seriously diet-derailing dish. This breakfast is simply an overload of everything and just not the way to start your day.

Cheesecake Factory Louisiana Chicken Pasta

2,120 calories, 125 g fat (65 g saturated fat, 4 g trans fat), 4,030 mg sodium, 168 g carbs (10 g fiber, 16 g sugar), 83 g protein

What's worse than eating an entire day's worth of calories in one meal? Eating two days worth of trans fats in that same meal. Trans fats have been linked to heart disease, which makes any meal high in trans fats one of The 35 Worst Restaurant Meals for Your Heart.

Cheesecake Factory Cajun Chicken 'Littles'

2,130 calories, 110 g fat (36 g saturated fat, 2 g trans fat), 3,330 mg sodium, 177 g carbs (12 g fiber, 45 g sugar), 110 g protein

This southern take on chicken tenders with a sumptuous succotash will serve up more calories, fat, saturated fat, trans fat, and sodium than the FDA recommends you consume in an entire day. And this isn't the only menu item you'll see from The Cheesecake Factory on this list. The 250-item menu contains 10 items that climb over 2,000 calories per serving. If this restaurant is one of your favorites, take a peek at our guide The Best and Worst Menu Items at The Cheesecake Factory to ensure you don't pick any dietary landmines.

2,180 calories, 131 g fat (70 g saturated fat, 4 g trans fat), 1,070 mg sodium, 208 g carbs (7 g fiber, 115 g sugar), 45 g protein

Just two slices of egg-soaked toast and a few slices of bacon will cause you to meet your caloric match before noon.

Uno Pizzeria & Grill Deep Dish Buffalo Chicken Mac and Cheese

2,200 calories, 133 g fat (58 g saturated fat, 1 g trans fat), 4,310 mg sodium, 160 g carbs (6 g fiber, 14 g sugar), 96 g protein

Macaroni and cheese and buffalo chicken are already highly caloric on their own, but combined in a deep dish pan, you're getting a meal that is drowning in an alarming amount of calories and sodium.

Cheesecake Factory Fettuccini Alfredo with Chicken

2,310 calories, 155 g fat (86 g saturated fat, 5 g trans fat), 2,740 mg sodium, 145 g carbs (6 g fiber, 9 g sugar), 86 g protein

You could eat an entire box of Barilla's Fettucine and still have 660 calories left over before you hit the same number of calories found in this menu item.

Chili's TX Cheese Fries with Chili, Full Order

2,310 calories, 155 g fat (69 g saturated fat, 2 g trans fat), 5,320 mg sodium, 110 g carbs (9 g fiber, 8 g sugar), 106 g protein

French fries are obviously a salty side dish, but the amount of calories in here? Just as shocking and staggering. These get a massive skip!

Cheesecake Factory Pasta Carbonara with Chicken

2,340 calories, 145 g fat (70 g saturated fat, 3.5 g trans fat), 4,030 mg sodium, 141 g carbs (10 g fiber, 11 g sugar), 85 g protein

We give the Cheesecake Factory props for rolling out some lighter options as of late, but its menu is still home to some of the most caloric fare in the nation. This creamy pasta dish, topped with peas, bacon, and chicken, has more than a day's worth of calories and more saturated fat than 50 eggs!

Chili's Ultimate Smokehouse Combo

Chili's really lets you create an over-the-top meal when it comes to the Smokehouse Combos. The combo allows you to choose any three types of meat, and load them up next to ribs and sides. You can choose three dishes from their list, so we went with the new brisket quesadillas, honey chipotle crispers with ranch, and the ribs (dry rub), which makes for a high calorie, sodium, fat, and sugar-filled meal.

And forget about having to choose a side or two, you'll get four—roasted street corn, homestyle fries, chile-garlic toast, and garlic dill pickles. That base alone totals 955 calories and 1,590 milligrams of sodium. So in reality, if you are this all, you would be consuming 3,425 calories in just one meal. Big yikes!

Between the four different kinds of meats, the rich tomato sauce, and parmesan cream pasta, this dish is packed with calories upon calories, fat, and, sodium. It's said to be the worst dish to order from The Cheesecake Factory for your health, too…

Chili's somehow took the classic waist-widening thought of chicken and waffles and made it even worse! The chain uses their crispy honey-chipotle Chicken Crispers and places them on top of 4 Belgian waffles, which they then stack with applewood smoked bacon, jalapenos, and drizzle ancho-chile ranch all over it. Thinking you'll need more food? Don't worry, you'll also get a heaping handful of fries. With two day's worth of fat and saturated fat—we're seriously wondering why this dish filled with foods that cause inflammation is even an option!
