Longhorns Vs My Kitchen Topic

I had 1/2 of the Longhorns salad yesterday... The whole thing was like 600 calories .. The one I made me today only 273... Just as good... And a huge calorie difference ??
we all like to eat out and splurge once In a while.. But for the most part your safer in your own kitchen.??

Hi DonnasJourney1964- Yes, such a great point! When we cook at home we have control over the ingredients. Restaurants often add extra fat and sugar to enhance the flavor, which means more calories....
Just curious- What's in your longhorns salad? Best, Joanna (MyNetDiary Dietitian)

Not to mention the massive amount of salt added by restaurants to food.

Turkey breast.. bell peppers.. cucumbers.. sliced almonds.. tomatoes.. avocado.. romaine.. spinach .. and grated Parmesan.. with skinny girl balsamic.. it’s so good and no guilt

I have to ask - Why Longhorns ?

I had a salad from Longhorns on Friday. They don't have any lite dressings so I just used part of one of the two dressing ramekins. I only ate part of the salad too, but I agree in my kitchen I can budget the calories much better!

I like Longhorns Salmon, broccoli, and rice meal. Only eat there for special occasions.
