The Healthiest Menu Items You Can Order At Cracker Barrel
We all know fast food spots and some fast-casual chain restaurants aren't the places to find healthy eats, but there are smart-ish choices to be made. Here's what you should order if you'd prefer to be health-conscious at Cracker Barrel.
BREAKFAST:
Whether you're starting the day off or going for the all-day breakfast, it's best to skip all the fixin's and order the Country Morning Breakfast-two eggs and grits will only cost you 240 calories and 12 grams of fat. If you have a sweet tooth, go for the Apple n' Cinnamon Oatmeal for 360 calories and 7 grams of fat over a stack of pancakes.
SANDWICH:
While none of the sandwich options are exactly low-cal, your safest choice is the Open-Faced Roast Beef sandwich for 710 calories and 34 grams of fat.
SALAD:
The House Salad with bacon pieces, cheese, croutons, and veggies is the lightest salad you can order for 260 calories and 15 grams of fat. If you want more of an entrée salad, choose the Southern Grilled Chicken Salad for 620 calories and 33 grams of fat.
BURGER:
Surprisingly, the Signature Cheeseburger is a better choice than a sandwich at 550 calories and 30 grams of fat.
FANCY FIXIN'S:
The Grilled Chicken Tenderloins for 230 calories and 6 grams of fat is the best low-carb, high-protein, low-calorie choice. If you need a dipping sauce, go for the Cider BBQ Sauce (80 calories) over the Honey Mustard (220 calories).
COUNTRY DINNER PLATES:
The two best options here will be the Grilled Chicken Tenderloins for 150 calories and 4 grams of fat and the Lemon Pepper Grilled Rainbow Trout for 160 calories and 7 grams of fat. If you have to have a form of bread with it, the biscuit for 160 calories beats the corn muffin, which will cost you 210 calories.
WHOLESOME FIXIN'S:
Cracker Barrel's got our backs with their Wholesome Fixin's menu. Though all the options are lightened up versions of the homestyle classics, the healthiest choice is the Pecan Crusted Catfish for 260 calories and 10 grams of fat.
SIDES:
When it comes to adding on sides, your calories can add up real quick. To save yourself, go for the fresh steamed broccoli for 40 calories. If you need something more then veggies, the cheese grits for 150 calories are the best choice.
DESSERT:
If you gotta end the meal with something sweet, a Root Beer float for 450 calories and 13 grams of fat is the way to go. As for baked goods, the blackberry cobbler is the best option at 470 calories and 15 grams of fat. And it's even better if you share!
