Applebee's Low Sugar Lens

Lower-sugar meals can help avoid energy swings, especially during busy days. Pair protein with less sweet sauces and unsweetened drinks for consistency.

Nutrition values are best-effort estimates and can vary by location.

3 rules

  • Aim for 8g sugar or less in the core order when possible.
  • Swap sweet sauces for salsa, mustard, or dry seasonings.
  • Stick to unsweetened beverages unless you need quick carbs.
