Sugar Helps Make It Tasty, But Also Really Bad For You

23 Restaurant Foods With Crazy-High Amounts of Sugar

10. Applebee’s Riblets Platter with Honey BBQ Sauce
  • Nutrition: 1,100 calories, 51 g fat (17 g saturated), 104 g carbs, 4 g fiber, 92 g sugar, 68 g protein
  • Yes, honey is an added sugar, no matter what Winnie the Pooh says. In fact, 82 grams of the sugar in this platter comes from the sauce.
18. Chili’s Crispy Honey Chipotle Crispers with BBQ Sauce
  • Nutrition: 1,410 calories, 51 g fat (9 g saturated), 189 g carbs, 9 g fiber, 63 g sugar, 56 g protein
  • With the word “crisp” in the title twice, you’d think fat would be your biggest worry, but Chili’s manages to pack 52 grams of sugar into the actual Crisper itself--before even adding on the BBQ Sauce.
22. Applebee’s Grilled Shrimp ‘N Spinach Salad
  • Nutrition: 1,000 calories, 66 g fat (10 g saturated), 67 g carbs, 12 g fiber, 50 g sugar, 44 g protein
  • Eating this food is like getting caught speeding on a road with no posted speed limit signs. Everything sure looks free and clear, and just check out those health words: Grilled! Spinach! Salad! A great example of how sugar sneaks up on us even when we think we’re eating healthy.
