T.G.I. Friday's - Thank Goodness It's Friday's -

I have to admit that I had to draw a pretty sharp breath when I started grazing over the TGI Friday's Menu. The single serving appetizers average out at over 700 calories per serving. That's really not good.

Then I passed over 5 entrees that were over 890 calories before I found one under 800. Wowzer.

But they do have a selection of low calorie plates that are marked on their menu. Those are included here, along with low cal entrees that can be paired with low calorie sides, and the plates that land between 750-800 calories that aren't marked on their menu!

So, here's a run down for you. Choose wisely!
