KEY POINTS
- Americans are known for being passionate food lovers
- On National Eat What You Want Day, indulge in your favorites
- Burgers, French fries and chips are loaded with calories
Americans are passionate food lovers; many of their favorite dishes — like pasta, burgers and others — are considered unhealthy. However, on National Eat What You Want Day, you can eat whatever you want, including burgers, tacos, burritos, French fries, chips, cheese and a variety of other foods that may appear unhealthy.
While restaurants in the U.S. are known for convenience and on-the-go meals, unhealthy and high-calorie servings are primarily on their menus. Here’s a list of high-calorie foods you can eat guilt-free on National Eat What You Want Day.
20.
Cheesecake Factory Fried Shrimp Platter (1,920 Calories)
Clocking in at 1,920 calories, this is already your least-caloric option on this list. Fish is one of the most nourishing foods, but deep-frying and serving it with fries contains significant calories. Oh, but it is so worth it.
19.
O’Charley’s Seafood Platter (1,950 Calories)
Four big shrimps have 30 calories but fried shrimp, which is deep-fried in oil, is calorie-dense. There’s also the stuffed crab, which is high in protein, and the fries that add calories to the meal. This seafood combined with fries on the side is a must-try meal on a cheat day!
18.
Cheesecake Factory Chicken Parmesan Sandwich (1,960 Calories)
Oil is high in calories, cholesterol and fat. Deep-fried foods are high in both calories and cholesterol. A chicken sandwich on bread with fries on the side increased the calorie count to 1,960. An excellent cuisine you want to consume on May 11.
17.
Uno Pizzeria & Grill Pizza Skins (1,970 Calories)
Pizza is, of course, one of the best dishes to eat on a day to indulge in your favorite meals. And not just any pizza. Pizza Skins give you homestyle red skin mashed potatoes with cheddar cheese and bacon in UNO’s signature crust. If you haven’t tried this, you’ve been missing out.
16.
Olive Garden Asiago Tortelloni Alfredo With Grilled Chicken (1,980 Calories)
