“This nutritional shipwreck from Red Lobster exemplifies the kind of gargantuan restaurant meal that promotes obesity, diabetes, and other diet-related diseases,” said CSPI registered dietitian Paige Einstein. It’s the highest-calorie meal among the 2015 Xtreme Eating “dishonorees,” as CSPI calls them. Wash down that combo with the Lobsterita-the chain’s trademarked 890-calorie, 24-ounce margarita-and the meal reaches 3,600 calories, enough calories for today and most of tomorrow. Red Lobster’s “Create Your Own Combination” delivers 2,710 calories, and four days’ worth of sodium (6,530 milligrams), if you choose the Parrot Isle Jumbo Coconut Shrimp, Walt’s Favorite Shrimp, and Shrimp Linguine Alfredo to go with the Caesar salad, French fries, and one Cheddar Bay Biscuit. But this year they found a single restaurant meal that’s the nutritional equivalent of that KFC binge. It takes a lot to shock the nutritionists at the Center for Science in the Public Interest who compile the annual Xtreme Eating Awards. Imagine chowing down on an eight-piece bucket of KFC Original Recipe fried chicken, four sides of mashed potatoes with gravy, four pieces of corn on the cob, and eight packets of buttery spread-all by yourself.
