What's better to get at a restaurant?

Question

what has less fat and calories at restaurants... grilled cheese & fries, chicken fingers & fries, pasta with tomato/marinara sauce, or pasta with butter?

Answer 1

Pasta and red sauce

Answer 2

odly enough probably the grilled cheese or chicken fingers... pasta sauce has buttloads of sugar and other c**p to make it taste good and pasta and butter is gross.

Answer 3

The pasta with tomato sauce.

Answer 4

pasta with marinara... whole wheat pasta is the healthiest

Answer 5

pasta with tomato sauce

Answer 6

pasta w/ marinara sauce..  but grilled chicken or fish with steamed veggies is of course better than any of these..

Answer 7

umm while none of this is the best choice, I'd go with tge pasta with marinara.....maybe a side salad too???

Answer 8

Chicken fingers and fries is lowest in calories, but definitely not lowest in fat. Spaghetti with marinara would be a better choice even though it is higher in calories. It will fill you up faster and you probably won't eat everything you are served anyway, it also has more than 20 grams of fat less than the chicken fingers meal!

Spaghetti with butter will be worse than spaghetti with marinara, but probably not quite as bad as the grilled cheese meal.

Answer 9

Pasta with tomato sauce.

Sounds like a kid's meal menu...it always annoys me that there are so many high calorie choices with such little nutritional value on a kid's menu.  We always have our toddler share our meals, which means that sometimes I am limited in choosing a meal I think she will eat, but I am happier knowing she is eating something healthy.

Answer 10

Pasta with marinara. With a BIG salad. (So then you don't eat all of your pasta!).

Answer 11

Of those choices, pasta/tomato sauce

Best choice would be plain grilled chicken, with salad

Answer 12

Pasta Marinaria + a House Salad

Answer 13

pasta with marinara sauce
