1 Denny's Fried Cheese Melt

Though it looks like the ultimate comfort food, the numbers are anything but comforting. When served with fries, this dish will cost you 1,260 calories.

2 California Pizza Kitchen's Italian Deli Sandwich

This sandwich has 1,260 calories. That's almost 200 calories more than their famous Original BBQ Chicken pizza. Just like figuring out what to have for dinner in college, pizza wins again.

3 Applebee's Provolone-Stuffed Meatballs with Fettuccine

Though it looks like a light dish, it's anything but. These delicious cheese-filled meatballs served with scrumptious pasta come at a price. That price is 1,510 calories.

4 The Cheesecake Factory's Ultimate Red Velvet Cheesecake

What's dinner without a little dessert?
Well, at 1,540 calories, make sure you're sharing with a big group.

5 Quizno's Large Tuna Melt

Tuna is normally thought of as a healthy dish…but not here. This sandwich originally racked in at over 2,000 calories, but recently Quizno's "trimmed" it down to 1,750 calories.

6 Carls Jr. Six Dollar Guacamole Bacon Burger

Served with natural cut fries and a 32oz Coke. For the low, low price of $6 you get a high, high 1,810 calories. That's about 301 calories per dollar, giving you a lot of blehhhh for your buck.

7. P.F. Chang's Combo Lo Mein

There's a reason why lo mein is traditionally supposed to be a side dish. When eaten as a meal, like this combo dish, it adds up to 1,968 calories. Lo mein…but not lo calories.

8. BJ's Restaurant and Brewhouse Deep Dish Bacon Ranch Pizza

The count? 2,160 calories.
The irony? That's only for their "small."

9. Chili's Full Rack of Baby Back Ribs

It comes with Shiner Rock BBQ sauce, homestyle fries, and cinnamon apples and totals a whopping 2,330 calories.
Furthermore, it has 6,490 mg of sodium…over 4 times the recommended daily amount.
My belt needs a new notch just reading about it.

10. The Cheesecake Factory Bistro Shrimp Pasta

To be fair, the portion sizes at the Cheesecake Factory are particularly huge. Still, if you were to eat the whole thing, you'd be eating 3,120 calories. And that's without taking into account the complimentary bread.

11. Johnny Rockets' Bacon Cheddar Double Cheeseburger

Served with sweet potato fries and a Big Apple Milkshake. You might be thinking, "Oh sweet potato fries! But that's healthier!" Think again. This dish is 3,500 calories.

12. Red Robin's Monster-Sized A.1. Peppercorn Burger

Served with a "Monster" milkshake and bottomless fries, this dish runs at 3,540 calories.
One single dish has almost double the recommended calories for a single day.

That Red Velvet Cheesecake from Cheesecake Factory looks divine.

**Baby Lee** · 08-08-2014, 02:24 PM

There's no ****ing rhyme or reason to their selections.

One instance, they find the biggest baddest single slice of cake around. Then the next they spy a moderate unassuming burger. . . is extra mayo-baco-cheez an option? Double meat patty??!!!! How about a really really big shake that actually has to be ordered separately? We there yet? Waffer-theen mint??!?!?

Not sure, but it looks like they're including the sides and drink calories on some of them.. ?

strawberry shake also rules. I like it better than chocolate, but both kick ass.

Panera (and lots of places actually) really pack the calories in their salads too. You have to be really careful ordering salads - most people just assume they're healthy...

The old "it's a salad....it doesn't matter what other shit I put on it" defense.

How can you assign a calorie count to bottomless fries? Wouldn't it be bottomless calories?

"3 Applebee's Provolone-Stuffed Meatballs with Fettuccine

Who the **** thinks a meatball stuffed with cheese laying on a pile of pasta soaked in alfredo sauce is a "light dish"?

Pepe Silvia · 08-08-2014, 02:58 PM

There any meat on those ribs?

Snapplez · 08-08-2014, 02:59 PM

Not fat, just bulkin.

I've had the Chili's ribs more than once, and I think it was the full rack. Maybe it was the half. And I've probably had the Johnny Rocket burger a time or two, but probably not with a milk shake.

Some of these things, even though it says cheese, really just have a bunch of some fake cheese like substance that is probably just oil and chemicals and salt.
Even the mayo probably isn't mayo but some kind of flavored slurry.

I was thinking that

mikey23545 · 08-08-2014, 03:03 PM

Everything in that list looks delicious except the shrimp dish and the tuna melt (I hate seafood of almost any kind).

And I really wonder about some of those calorie totals they posted...some of them sound awfully high...

At any rate I doubt I could finish too many of them in one sitting.

A lot of those 'monster' dishes are purchased with intentions to either split with someone or take some home for lunch the next day.

But that too has a fatal flaw, demonstrated thusly.

I just had the unhealthiest meal in America, a big mac combo AND a 10 piece nugget... **** it, I was starving to death and in a big hurry.

They worked me like a dog today trying to make up for getting rained out two days straight.
