How many calories?


Quote  |  Reply

If you had to guess how many calories do you think the Louisiana Chicken Salad at Baton Rouge would be.

Its a salad that contains Mixed greens with grilled chicken slices, oriental noodles, pineapple soya dressing and Thai peanut sauce.

 

Thanks

LOL....i work there, that thing is HUUUUUGEEEE!  by judging the ingredients that i see them put into that monster, here's my breakdown:

mixed greens (around 3 cups): 100 cals

shaved chicken breast (4 oz): 215 cals

oriental noodles (1 oz): 80 cals

soy pineapple dressing (2 oz if served on the side, they waaaay overpour when freehanding):  150-250 cals

thai peanut dressing (2 oz): 200-300 cals

TOTAL:  745-945 cals WITHOUT the tiny side garlic cheese toast :)  that little slice alone will add another 200

thanks for the quick response.. No cheese bread for me.. :)

That salad is huge, only had around half of it... so I guess its not too bad.

I go there once a week, when I go see hockey games.. We go there just before and then head over to the game after. So what else could you suggest being somewhat healthy.

Thanks

no problem....'somewhat healthy' is pretty funny to me when talking about restaurant dishes, but there are definitely ways to make each one a bit better (except our portions tend to be ridiculously massive, so way to go for only digging into half!).....my personal fave is the chicken tenders salad but with grilled chicken instead, no bacon or croutons, and olive oil instead of dressing (no cheesy toast for me either lol).....there's also the grilled veggie sandwich, the burgers are yummy also but nix the mayo, cheese and bacon.....or just go for half the louisiana bbq chicken with some plain steamed veggies.....BUT i have a strong disagreement with making all these restrictions when going out with some friends and paying a **** of dollars for simple food you could've made at home.....if you go out once in a while, ya gotta treat yourself, right?
