WLS Discount Cards & Restaurants Who Accept Them

[jess9395 5,449]

All of these restaurants have good choices. We don't tend to make them, though. You can easily eat 2-3 days worth of calories by having a big meal at any of these places, but you can also have a very good, sensible meal at each of them as well. Self-education is a HUGE part of success. At least in my opinion. Just be informed before you go.

Chili's has a "Lighter Choices" menu selection.

At Olive Garden:

mussels di Napoli = 180 calories

minestroni Soup = 100 calories

chicken and gnocchi soup = 250 calories

zuppa toscona soup = 170 calories

Venetian apricot chicken lunch portion = 290 calories

Applebee's has an "Under 550" designation. And there is on way we can eat the whole serving they provide. These include:

Napa chicken & portobellos

zesty Roma chicken & shrimp

roasted garlic sirloin

signature sirloin with garlic herb shrimp

At Red Lobster:

grilled lobster, shrimp and scallops = 340 calories

6 oysters on the /12 shell = 50 calories

shrimp cocktail = 120 calories

salmon = 250 calories

snow crab legs = 90 calories

lobster tail = 170 calories

seafood stuffed fish = 330 calories

cesar salad = 270 calories

cup of clam chowder = 230 calories

cup of lobster bisque = 210 calories

cup of chicken tortilla soup = 150 calories

Denny's:

4 slices of turkey bacon = 180 calories

low fat yogurt = 160 calories

egg whites = 50 calories

bowl of chicken noodle soup = 160 calories

cup of clam chowder = 200 calories

cup of veggie beef soup = 111 calories

half serving of cranberry chicken salad = 310 calories

oatmeal with milk and brown sugar = 240 calories

Fit Fare omelette = 390 calories

Veggie skillet = 330 calories

Fit Slam = 390 calories

Though Cracker Barrel does not provide calorie information for its menu, they have healty options such as low fat yogurt, fresh seasonal fruit, eggs, lemon pepper trout, grilled chicken and salads.

At Outback:

kid's menu grilled chicken = 147 calories

Ahi tuna, small = 363 calories

grilled shrimp = 319 calories

grilled chicken = 401 calories

very low calories counts on steamed Beans or broccoli, grilled asparagus, salad

The Keg:

shrimp cocktail = 127 calories

backed garlic shrimp = 309 calories

escargot = 280 calories

crab legs = 208 calories

lobster tails = 215 calories

teriyaki chicken = 353 calories

teriyaki sirloin = 366 calories

mixed grilled veggies = 131 calories

I totally agree, good choices can be found most anywhere if you look.

However in my experience these good choices are rarely found on the kids menu so I never worry about using the card. I can usually find better choices on the adult menu--often on the appetizers or add ons menu. Or I split with someone.

The card that I received is my surgeon's business card on one side, and the other side states, "The person in possession of this card has had a surgical weight loss procedure that restricts the amount of food they may eat. If available, please allow them to order smaller portions. Thank you." ????

Our China buffet gives you 20% off but it’s still expensive for what I can eat. But they have weigh and take so what I do Is get a Togo container and put food in it that I can eat and foods my daughter likes she sits down and eats and I pay for my Togo and then sit down and eat my few bites with her and take the rest home. A lot cheaper that way.
