As we move into 2024, Chili’s is still the place to be for lunch, serving from 11:00 AM to 4:00 PM on weekdays. Their menu has everything from the hearty Famous Lunch Burger to the fresher Chipotle Chicken Bowl. Each dish is designed to hit the spot, but what’s often overlooked are the calories that come with each meal. So, how do these popular items stack up calorie-wise, and what does that tell us about the choices we make?
