The Cheesecake Factory Calories

I posted this in a couple of my groups when we were talking about the Cheesecake Factory, and it sparked a lot of interest, so just thought I'd share it here too.

And regarding the Cheesecake Factory, in one of my other groups a few weeks ago one of the woman was going to the Cheesecake Factory and emailed them because she wasn't able to get information about the calorie and nutritional content of food. Anyway, they sent her back a very well written letter- but the bottom line was - sorry, we aint tellin ya (because our food is so disgustingly high in calories and fat and we want your money, and we don't give a crap about your health - my poetic liscence there). And to me, that absolutely speaks volumes and sends out the big flashing red light signal - massive incredible amounts of calories ahead!

There is a great website http://www.hungry-girl.com/ that talks about food nutritional values etc, and is entertaining and really useful. Below is some of the info from that site that relates to the Cheesecake Factory for your info. I'm definitely keeping up my boycoutt.

The big unknown in the world of restaurant dining is, of course, The Cheesecake Factory (who keeps their nutritional info under tighter security than our country's nuclear launch codes).

Ha! No need to be scared for your life. I certainly don't blame you, though, for being concerned about eating at The Cheesecake Factory. After all, the popular restaurant chain is notorious for serving up super-high cal menu items. Just how high? Try 1,560 calories and 84g of fat for their carrot cake, and 1080 cal, 71g fat, and 100 carbs for a slice of Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Cheesecake. And those are far from being the only unhealthy items on the menu. Seemingly innocent entrees like salads and sugar free cheesecake can also be calorie-packed diet-wreckers. For example, rumor has it that The Cheesecake Factory's Chinese Chicken Salad clocks in at about 1,600 whopping calories. And the 6 Carb Original Cheesecake has 610 calories and 57g of fat. Yikes! Don't get discouraged, though. There are some things you can do to lighten up your TCF lunch. First off, if you order a salad, ask that any seeds, chow mein noodles, raisins, cheeses, nuts, sour cream, guacamole, etc. is left off, or placed on the side. And make sure you ask for a light or fat free salad dressing. Since the taste of lower fat dressings varies by brands, you may want to ask for your dressing on the side as well. And salad isn't your only option for eating healthfully at TCF. If you're not in a leafy mood, try the herb crusted filet of salmon. Just ask that it be served without the sauce, and with double veggies instead of veggies and a starch. Or go for breakfast (they serve it all day). If you get an omelette or scramble, ask your server to substitute eggbeaters for regular eggs. And, of course, opt for fresh fruit instead of sausage or bacon as your side. "Cheesecake" also serves up a yummy Fire Roasted Artichoke (just be sure to get the vinaigrette on the side). Well, I hope this info can help you relax and enjoy your lunch! Good luck!

Have you heard about the new low carb cheesecake at The Cheesecake Factory? Don't get all giddy just yet. A slice may only contain 6 carbs, but it packs in 57 grams of fat (with over 30 grams of saturated fat!) and 610 calories. Believe it or not, that's 8 more fat grams than their original regular cheesecake! This cake upsets us. Please don't even think about eating this fatty wedge if you want to lose weight. Grrrrr!!!

The Cheesecake Factory's Carrot Cake - Anyone who thinks carrot cake is good for you never spent quality time with a piece from the Cheesecake Factory. Each slice contains 1560 calories and 84 grams of fat. What do they do to those poor defenseless carrots? The Cheesecake Factory - Carrot Cake

(Approx: 1,510 calories, 84g fat, 600mg sodium, 179g carbs, 6g fiber, 129g sugars, 18g protein = 36 Points)
