Ruth's Chris Steak House Nutritional Information

To contact us Click HERE

It’s not yet available on the Ruth’s Chris Steak House website, but thanks to Washington State menu laws, it’s available with each menu, so here’s the scoop.Quick Calorie-counting Summary

Order the Petite Filet (340 calories), Petite Filet with Shrimp (490 calories) or Filet (500 calories). Sorry ribeye fans!
Thousand Island is the lowest calorie dressing (170 cals./2oz.). Steak House Salad with half of the dressing is 220 calories. Or, you could BYOD (Bring Your Own Dressing).
Shrimp Cocktail and Seared Ahi Tuna look like the appetizer winners
Avoid the potatoes (though an unloaded Baked Potato shouldn’t be too bad)
Vegetables are OK, but avoid “au gratin”.

I'm regular (42 regular, to be precise!)

I went to the Nordstrom anniversary sale and bought myself a Hugo Boss suit. No, I didn't buy a blazer and "matching" slacks or a pair of separates. I bought a 42 REGULAR suit (with typical 36" waist). And it fits! Yes, I had to get the sleeves shortened and I got the seat let out a bit to make it more comfortable to sit in, but it fit! I'm normal.

206.4 pounds (down 97.2)

I'm a medium!

No, I can't tell your fortune!

But I can easily fit into medium-sized shirts from the Ralph Lauren outlet. Some of them are even a little baggy. That may not mean much to you, but for a guy who six months ago found XXL shirts tight in some cases, it's a big deal to me.

The funny thing is that I feel like I'm getting "punked" in clothing stores. Before, in the rare instances when I went shopping, I would have trouble finding what I wanted in XXL -- all they'd ever have were medium or large-sized clothes on sale. Now, when I go shopping, I can't find a medium, but there are LOTS of XXLs. DOH!

196.2 lbs

"Yo-yo" dieting shouldn't be an excuse anymore...

I'd heard for a long time that "yo-yo" dieting would leave you heavier and less fit than before and I myself have used it as an excuse for not trying to lose weight. Well, it looks like scientific evidence now says that's a myth.

http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/localnews/2018926404_yoyodieting16m.html

And my personal experience would tend to support that. I was talking to my wife and recounting my diet history, only to realize that I've had multiple big diets.

Age 17 - Lost about 40 pounds before going off to college.
Age 21 - Lost about 40 pounds before going off to grad school.
Age 31 - Lost about 40 pounds before moving to California.
Age 36 - Lost about 50 pounds to lower blood pressure.
Now (Age 49/50) - Lost 109+ pounds (so far) to improve health and longevity

Losing weight this time hasn't been any harder than the previous times. In fact, while not easy, mentally it might be easiest as I have the strongest motivation to do so. And I've lost weight about the same way as always, so it hasn't been significantly more difficult now that I'm older.

It's never too late to start... :)

Weight: 194.0

I'm done (sort of)! :)

Went to the doctor today for a follow-up on my June visit and for the first time in forever was told that I don't have to lose weight. All my numbers are fantastic at 189, and she said that I will be just peachy if I stay between 185 and 189.

I think I'll try to lose a little more, maybe down to 175-180 before figuring out how to maintain at a constant weight. Thankfully, given my method, maintenance shouldn't be too complicated -- just a matter of giving myself a few more calories each day. I'm already eating everything, so there's no change in what I'm eating, just a little increase in quantity.

Overall, it's pretty cool. I didn't lose half my weight, but I did lose 37.75% of my body weight in only 206 days. Yes, and that's with going out to eat with friends and travel and my 50th birthday, and a few beers. Sorry to boast -- that's not something I do much, but it's kind of exciting to have accomplished something this ambitious in this short a time.

I'll have a follow up post this weekend listing the 10 most important things I learned from this experience. I'll also add some before/after pics for some visual motivation.
