Chili's Still Offers the Guiltless Grill

It’s nice to know that some national restaurant chains are providing their patrons with healthful options. Some restaurants introduce healthy menu items only to discontinue them when they don’t do as well as expected. I suspect that healthful menu items can be a hard sell on restaurant menus because many people tend to want to splurge when they are eating out.

But for years, Chili’s has had a section of their menu called “Guiltless Grill,” with options that are lower in calories and fat. The great news? These options are still on the menu!

Just in case you’ve missed them at your neighborhood Chili’s restaurant, here are the four options currently on the Guiltless Grill menu:

• Guiltless Grill Salmon: A salmon fillet lightly seasoned and seared to perfection! Served with black beans and steamed seasonal veggies with Parmesan cheese. Nutritional analysis: 480 calories (26% from fat), 31 grams carbohydrate, 14 grams fat, 3 grams saturated fat, 10 grams fiber.
