+<br>We've consulted with our team of licensed nutritionists and dietitians to bring you informed recommendations for food products, health aids and nutritional goods to safely and successfully guide you toward making better diet and nutrition choices. We strive to only recommend products that adhere to our philosophy of eating better while still enjoying what you eat. Eating out can be tricky when looking for reasonable and healthy options. While some restaurants have created menus for those with health in mind, most prioritize flavor over nutrition. These unhealthy meals may be delicious, but you should think twice before ordering. There is no single definition for "healthy," but general rules of thumb exist. For instance, a healthy meal provides a reasonable number of calories, adequate fiber for the given calories, lean protein, and healthy fats. This should be the style of meal you choose more often than not when eating out. On the other hand, [unhealthy meals](https://www.groundreport.com/?s=unhealthy%20meals) can provide more calories than many need in an entire day and be loaded with sodium and added sugar.<br>
+
+<br>These two nutrients may increase your risk of certain diseases, and the lack of fiber found in many unhealthy dishes can do a number on your health, too. This doesn’t mean you need to avoid going to restaurants like Red Lobster, Olive Garden, TGI Fridays, or Applebee’s, but knowing what you’re getting into ahead of time can be helpful for your peace of mind and personal health goals. That’s why we created this list of the unhealthiest meals at popular chain restaurants. The meals on this list are all high in calories, total fat, saturated fat, sodium, and sometimes trans fat, and many of these dishes contain more than what is recommended for you to consume in an entire day. Here are the unhealthiest meals at 30 popular chain restaurants. Calories: There is no one recommendation on how many calories you should eat in a day. This number depends on an individual’s unique needs and goals.<br>
+
+<br>As a point of reference,  [GlycoMode Review](http://www.playersunity.fr/forums/topic/understanding-glyco-mode-blood-sugar-a-comprehensive-overview/) the most recent Dietary Guidelines for Americans suggests adult women get somewhere between 1,600-2,400 calories per day, and adult men aim for 2,000-3,000. Many of the unhealthiest meals at chain restaurants contain as many calories as an entire day’s worth. Saturated fat: Saturated fat is something you’ll see in high numbers in restaurant dishes. The American Heart Association suggests consuming only 5-6% of your daily calories as saturated fat, which for a 2,000-calorie diet equals about 13 grams. Too much of this fat can lead to increased cholesterol, clogged arteries, and heart disease. All the meals on this list contain more than 13 grams of saturated fat, with some containing upwards of five times this amount in one dish. Trans fat: This is another type of unhealthy fat that can lead to heart disease, high cholesterol, and death from heart disease. According to the World Health Organization, you should aim to consume less than 2.2 grams of trans fat per day but stick to zero if you can.<br>
+
+<br>Many meals here contain trans fat, with a few even containing more than the daily limit. Sodium: And lastly, it’s common for [chain restaurant](https://www.vocabulary.com/dictionary/chain%20restaurant) dishes to pile on the sodium. It’s one of the reasons they taste so darn good. Unfortunately, too much sodium can lead to things like heart disease and high [GlycoMode Blood Sugar support](http://www.playersunity.fr/forums/topic/understanding-glyco-mode-blood-sugar-a-comprehensive-overview/) pressure, which is why the FDA recommends eating less than 2,300 milligrams per day. The meals on this list either get you close to this limit-if not, go well over it. A deliciously cooked prime rib is a special treat on any occasion. Unfortunately, this particular cut of meat contains lots of calories, total fat, and saturated fat. That is why Outback Steakhouse’s giant 16-ounce option is exceptionally unhealthy, especially when "this prime rib is also served with a loaded baked potato and a side of creamy horseradish sauce," Sabat says. For a healthier steak option, try something like Victoria’s Filet Mignon or Center-Cut Sirloin.<br>
