How to Eat Healthy at Outback Steakhouse

1
Choose chicken or fish whenever possible if you're watching fat content. The chicken or shrimp grillers have less fat than a steak. For example, the Victoria's Filet steak has only 570 calories, but it packs on 44 grams of fat.

2
Skip the Bloomin' Onion. An Outback Bloomin' Onion has a whopping 2310 calories, which is an entire day's worth of calories in one sitting.

3
Get a side of steamed veggies. They have only 80 calories and are a great way to round out a steak dinner. A baked potato is only 100 calories, but you'll have to skip the toppings to keep it healthy.
-
4
Hold the butter. Most of the items on the Outback Steakhouse menu can be prepared with butter, so ask your server when ordering. This goes for grilled shrimp, baked potatoes and grilled vegetables.
-
5
Omit the sauce or dressing whenever possible. Eating healthy at Outback is easier if you ask your server to hold the rich, calorie-laden sauces and dressings.
-
6
Stick with water or diet soda to drink. Avoid alcohol. It just adds unnecessary calories.
