Long John Silver's gets healthy(ier) fare at last
Categories: Nutrition & Supplements
A little while ago, we told you about Yum Brands restaurants making an effort to get healthier by displaying calorie counts on menu boards. Now they're going a step further with one of their brands -- Long John Silver's seafood restaurants are not only revealing their calorie counts, they're populating their menu with healthier items. Whereas a standard meal at the restaurant chain consisted of only deep-fried food, the new Freshside Grille will offer non-fried options like grilled Pacific salmon, grilled shrimp scampi, vegetable medley, and seasoned rice. So how do these healthier meals stack up? According to their nutrition calculator, like this.
- The Grilled Salmon has 150 calories, 5 g of fat and 440 g of sodium.
- The Shrimp Scampi (full portion) has 110 calories, 5 g of fat and 610 g of sodium.
- The Vegetable Medley has 50 calories and 2 g of fat.
- However, the rice has 270 calories, 4.5 g of fat and 670 g of sodium. Yikes.
All in all, not bad -- just avoid the rice if you're cutting calories.

I tried the Tilapia for lunch today. It was very tastey. The mix veggies were better than expected. I stayed away from the corn, rice and breadstick - from a calories/fat vs taste standpoint, not enough flavor upside.
