| |  Applebees / Weight Watchers Menu
Any good for diabetics? I have seen the menu, although NOT since I've been diagnosed. Has anyone eaten from this menu and what did you think?

| | | Have not tried the Applebee's choices, but WW meals are pretty balanced. I think that if you count your carbs correctly its ok. I believe their menu has all the info, correct?

| | Yeah, I've tried one of their salads off he WW portion of the menu...but I didn't like it. I'd recommend ordering a regular salad with the dressing on the side, since dressing seems to be the most calorie laden component of the salad.
Enjoy

| | | I had a salad off of the menu at Applebee's too. It was this past summer, and i believe there was fruit and nuts in it. It tasted a little too good, so I figured there must be SOMETHING in it that I shouldn't have. As I recall, my AM bs the nexr day was not too out of whack. I have always thought that the menu's at applebees make things look sooooo appealing, but I find that I'm usually somewhat dissapointed. I have a WW cookbook, but haven't cracked it open in over a year. Nancy |

Enjoyed my dinner at Applebees, I got the confetti chicken, with extra steamed veggies instead of the potatoes.
