Red Lobster Nutrition Calculator: A Dietitian's Guide
Red Lobster is famous for its Cheddar Bay Biscuits, but just a couple of these buttery biscuits can add more calories than your main seafood entree. Balancing your plate requires some strategy.
This calculator lets you build your Red Lobster dinner, comparing grilled seafood against fried options and tracking the biscuits.
The Cheddar Bay Biscuit calorie reality
Cheddar Bay Biscuits are loaded with butter and cheese, making them very calorie-dense. While they are a delicious treat, limiting yourself to one is a simple way to save fat and calories.
Seafood preparation: Grilled vs fried
Wood-grilled lobster tail, salmon, and shrimp are exceptionally lean and high in protein. Fried seafood platters bring extra fat and carbs from the breading and oil. For example, the Sailor's Seafood Boil Family Meal is a top protein pick with 249g of protein.

Choosing smart sides and butter control
Garlic butter sauce and french fries add a lot of fat. Opting for steamed broccoli, asparagus, or a baked potato (without sour cream) is a much lighter side choice.
