TGI Friday's has a diverse menu full of many types of good eats as well as its many famous side dishes. Often it is the side dishes that make a meal at TGI Friday's high calorie. But there are some sides on the menu, as well as some entrées, that fit well with a low-calorie, low-fat diet. Read on to find out what they are.

Difficulty: Challenging
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Pass on sides like the Barbecue Jack Chicken, which has 500 calories and 10 grams of fat. Opt instead for sides like the Chicken Quesadilla Rolls, which are 125 calories each and have only 6 grams of fat. You can also choose the mozzarella sticks, which have only 110 calories and 6 grams of fat.

  2. Step 2

    Select the Key West Grouper for 300 calories and 4 grams of fat for an entrée, instead of the Pecan-Crusted Chicken Salad, which has 750 calories and an artery-clogging 50 grams of fat.

  3. Step 3

    Choose wisely when looking for low-calorie meals—some can be deceiving. Skip the Tuscan Spinach Dip with vegetables, which sounds healthy but that packs 590 calories and 25 fat grams. Also pass on the Santa Fe Chicken Salad, which has 500 calories and 10 grams of fat.

  4. Step 4

    Pick a dessert, if you must, from the TGI Friday's low-fat menu. Choose the Chocolate Angel Swirl Cake, which has 500 calories and 10 grams of fat.

  5. Step 5

    Request your entrées to be cooked without oil to cut calories. Ask the kitchen to grill instead of fry other items. Eat salads without fried toppings and dressing.
