Outback Steakhouse Aussie Cheese Fries with Ranch Dressing

2,900 calories 182 g fat 240 g carbs Even if you split these "starters" with three friends, you'll have downed a dinner's worth of calories before your entrée arrives. Super Substitutions: Front-load your meal with a protein-based dish that's not deep-fried. A high-protein starter helps diminish hunger without putting you into calorie overload. And remember: Appetizers are meant to be shared.

At On the Border: Chicken Soft Tacos (250 calories each). This entrée is as close as you'll come to a healthy starter.

At Chili's: Garlic & Lime Grilled Shrimp. Look for this item in the "sides."

At Outback: Seared Ahi or Shrimp on the Barbie.
