The best menu items in Red Robin
A registered dietitian rains on his best choices as well as a few dishes that it would recommend to abstain.
Red Robin is known for its combinations of bizarre burger (still darling), fries of bottomless steak and creamy high solar. But we wanted to make a deeper dive in nine Robin red menu sections to separate healthier menu options from the least healthy all.
We calledKelli McGrane MS, RD, for the food tracking application loser! Give ideas. She directed us to some of the best and worst options you can get to the Burger chain. Hopefully, after reading this, you can make more prescriptions of health in Red Robin and reserve the worthy call options for special occasions.
Appetizers
Worst: nacho.m.g
When you look at this plate of Nachos, it is difficult to gawk and think "OMG". Crispy tortilla chips are covered with two types of cheese, chili chili, chile, guacamole, tomatoes, red onion, salsa and sour cream.
McGrane advises the direction of this red Robin menu item due to its monstrous size and high fat and sodium content. "Nacho.m.g has the most saturated fat of the aperitif-three times the amount in the onion rings - and more than twice your daily sodium needs."
Best: Guac, Salsa and Chips
The majority of fats in this aperitif comes from the guacamole, because the only other ingredients at the top of this tortilla chip plate are vegetables.
"Unless you are open to sharing the wedge salad with the table, your best bet is salsa, guac and chips," says McGrane. "This is relatively low in saturated fat and fiber [with] an impressive 21 grams. Plus, the lawyer provides healthy monounsaturated fatty acids."
The most beautiful Robin Robin Hamburgers and Grilled Fire Hamburgers
Worse: South Charming Burger
"One of the worst options is the burger of southern charm, which offers more than half a day of calories, 21 grams of saturated fat and almost as much sugar than a raspberry cream soda," explains McGrane.
Worst: Rambler red eyes
One of the latest additions to the Robin red menu is the Rambler Red-Eye. Is it just us or this burger seems more terrifying than appetizing? Complete with a galette rubbed in brunette sugar, black pepper and coffee (Um, what?), Gooey Meunster cheese, confit bacon and egg, it's hard to believe that this massive burger does not have any support from larger protein and sugar. Nevertheless, McGrane says this hamburger contains as much sugar as a child's size soda.
Best: Keep the Burger of Simple Beef
"The Keep Beef Burger proves that simple is often preferable because it is the lowest non-vegan burger option and one of the lowest sodium and saturated fat, while still supplies 34 grams. Filling proteins, "says McGrane.
Best: Wedgie Burger
Wedgie hamburger? They could not have thought of a better name, huh? Despite the game of stupid words, this burger is one of the best choices of McGran in the red Robin menu.
"If you like fillings, the Wedgie Burger is the way forward because it is high in proteins, low carbohydrates and a moderate amount of saturated fat. Another bonus is that unlike other burgers, it comes automatically with a Salad rather than fries, "she explains.
Taverne Hamburgers
Worse: the big pig
This burger won his name for a reason. It seems that the big burger pig is just the upgrade of the double of the pig tavern, which already has two cakes and broken bacon between the bun. McGrane clearly says this Ginormous hamburger to save your beat size that will take excess fat, sodium and sugar.
Best: double red tavern
McGrane says that "the double tavern of Red is the lowest calorie and one of the weakest of saturated fat, sugar and sodium" of all taver hamburgers in the red Robin menu. However, the sodium content is still high, so consider that as you order and make sure you drink plenty of water.
Entrances
Best: Salmon Sear-Ious
"Salmon Sear-Ious has a reasonable calorie 410, 6 grams of saturated fat, 4 grams of carbohydrates and constitutes the only inlet of less than 1,000 milligrams of sodium. In addition, it is filled with omega-3 healthy fatty acids "," says McGrane.

Worst: Buffalo style of affections and fries
It's interesting how this chicken offer tray beats the calories of Robin Robin Hamburgers. The addition of blue cheese is absolutely flying fat, calories and carbohydrates in this dish. Nevertheless, normal flags and fries are also clocks in a calorie of 1,330 calories.
"The style of Clucks and Fries Buffalo is by far the least healthy entry option with more than 1,600 calories, a day of saturated fat and nearly twice the amount of sodium you should have in one day," explains McGrane.
Wraps and sandwiches
Worse: Whiskey River Barbq Chicken Wrap
"The whiskey river barbecue chicken has half a day of calories, sodium and a large amount of saturated fat as well as 20 grams of sugar - and it is all before adding one side of the fries."
We can not say that we are surprised that this wrap houses so much sugar - it is watered with a barbecue sauce. Comparison, two tablespoons ofOriginal barbecue sauce Heinz classic Contain 16 grams of sugar, a large majority of which are added sugars. (Cane sugar is the first ingredient of this product.)
Best: Blta growing
"Outside the three envelopes and sandwich options, the BulTa growing is your best choice because it is the lowest calories and sodium. However, it is far from a low sodium option," says McGrane. "To keep this sandwich on the healthier side, go with one side of the fruit salad with stains rather than steak fries."
A croissant will always contain more fat than a traditional bread because it is traditionally done with a lot of butter.
Soups
Worst: Clamdigger clam grinding machine
"With 0 grams of fibers, 40% of the calories of saturated fat and only 11 grams of protein, a bowl of clamdigger clam sprouts is easily the least healthy soup option," explains McGrane.
Note that this bowl soup comes with a hot garlic toast piece, so it is also taken into account in nutritional facts.
Best: Red Chile Chile
"While all soup bowls are sodium high, Red Chile Chile will keep you full of 6 grams of fibers, an impressive 30 grams of protein and 400 calories for a bowl," explains McGrane.
Salads
Worst: Southwest salad
"The southwestern salad is the least healthy option with 910 calories, a big grams of saturated fat, almost a day of sodium and 12 grams of sugar. Whatever the salad you choose, extinguish the dressing pavier of Honey mustard, a portion of 3 ounces that offers as many calories as a meal, "says McGrane.
This is true, the 3 ounces of this creamy vinaigrette costs 520 calories. It's about as many calories that are in aMac ofMcDonalds.
Best: grilled chicken salad simply
"For an entrance, the simply grilled chicken salad is the healthiest option of 280 calories and only 3.5 grams of saturated fat. Although more sodium and calories than the house and salads of Caesar, the chicken Just grilled has 33 grams of protein to help keep you full, compared to only 6 and 4 grams, respectively, "says McGrane.
With regard to vinaigrette, the diet suggests choosing the 2 ounces of balsamic vinegar (100 calories) to keep calories, saturated grease and low sodium content.
Substitutions and sides
Worst: Cheeses Chile Chile Fries
"Chile's cheese fries contain almost as many calories, saturated fat and sodium like some hamburgers and entrances," says McGrane.
Pro Tip: No side should even be even equivalent remotely in calories at the main meal.
Best: Steam Broccoli
Mac 'n' cheese with soft potato fries, the lower caloric side and good for you, you can order from the Red Robin menu is steam broccoli.
"Broccoli is an excellent source of many vitamins and minerals, including K and C vitamins, explains McGrane.
Miletshakes and Malts
Worst: Milkshake Salty Caramel Monster Size
"The Monster Salty Caramel Milkshake contains more saturated fat than many hamburgers and 155 grams of sugar. It's more sugar than one of the dessert menu options and as many as 13 glazed donuts," explains McGrane.
Best: Milkshake Magic Oreo Cookie Oreo Cookie
If you are going to make madness, can also go for a fun flavor, right? To keep the calories of the check, order the classic version / size of the child of the Milkshake Magic Cookie Oreo. However, keep in mind that this smaller size milkshake is always stuffed with excess sugar. In fact, you will have to eat about14 OREO cookies Consume so much sugar.
Although it's going to get on occasion, it's worth knowing what is in the meals you choose to eat. Armed with this guide in the Red Robin menu, you can make the best decision the next time you reach the Burger chain.
