Saltiest Appetizer

Applebee's Appetizer Sampler
6,830 mg sodium
2,590 calories
173 g fat (54 g saturated)

Sodium Equivalent: 370 Funyuns (that's more than four bags of 'em!)

Restaurant appetizer samplers are notoriously riddled with sodium, but Applebee's is a full-blown tour de force of heart-stopping potential. Piled onto this plate are a bacon and cheese quesadilla, fried cheese sticks, spinach and artichoke dip and chips, and boneless buffalo wings. Just one of those things is bad enough, but add all four and you have three days' worth of sodium and more than an entire day of calories—in just one appetizer!

Eat This Instead! Applebee's Classic Southern BBQ Wings
1,070 mg sodium
660 calories
35 g fat (9 g saturated)
