Drop 1 Pound—Every Week!


#2 Top Swap: Wings

Eat This
Applebee’s Buffalo Chicken Wings, Southern BBQ
660 calories
35 g fat (9 g saturated)
1,060 mg sodium

Not That!
Uno Chicago Grill 3 Way Buffalo Wings
1,350 calories
108 g fat (24 g saturated)
3,540 mg sodium

Total savings: 690 calories and 73 g fat!

For all the chatter about them being junk food, wings can actually be a sensible start to a meal. With 61 grams of protein, these Southern-style wings from Applebee’s may help you cut calories from your overall meal by frontloading your dinner with belly-filling protein. But choose the wrong chicken and you’ll pay the price. Uno’s version packs roughly twice the calories and fat, yet for all the excess only brings 5 extra grams of protein to the table. As a rule of thumb, if you order an appetizer, make sure your portion doesn’t exceed 250 calories.
