Hungry after some late night clubbing? Healthier guilty pleasure at IHOP!

Hungry after clubbing, but don't wanna risk losing those abs you have been working on for the summer? Try these healthier options available at IHOP and a few other late-night eateries.

Guilty Pleasure at IHOP
Stuffed French Toast
560 calories
8 g saturated fat
315 mg sodium

The stuffing? Sweet cream cheese. The toast? Cinnamon raisin. Top it with strawberry and a small shot of whipped cream. One caveat: Don't make it a "combo." The eggs, hash browns, and bacon will ratchet it up to 1,200 calories.

Guilty Pleasure at McDonald's

Snack Size Fruit & Walnut Salad

210 calories

8 g fat (1.5 g saturated)

25 g sugars

This thing make a pretty stellar dessert on the fly. It comes with apple slices and grapes, low-fat yogurt, and candied walnuts for a great mix of protein, fat, and fiber.


Guilty Pleasure at Jack in the Box
Grilled Chicken Strips (4) with Zesty Marinara Sauce
195 calories
2 g fat (0.5 g saturated)
900 mg sodium

This nonfried finger food isn't on the sides menu, but order it anyway to avoid a glut of trans fat. These chicken strips are loaded with 37 grams of protein, so your belly will stay full long after you stop eating. That's a claim French fries can't make.
