11 High-Calorie Cactus Club Meals

Are you eating these high-calorie cactus club meals?

Well, if your goal is to lose body fat and weight than limiting the foods listed below may be a good idea.

I did write about some of the best low-calorie cactus club meals that you can read about by clicking here.

However, in the meantime, let’s take a look at these high-calorie cactus club meals that may seem innocent, but rack up in calories fairly quickly.

Check it out below.

1) Blackened Creole Chicken

The blackened creole chicken undoubtedly is one of the most famous dishes on the menu that people love to consume. With creole butter slathered on top, your mouth can’t help but be watery.

However, when it comes to it being a great meal for your fat loss goals, it is not ideal.

Why is it not ideal?

Due to the creole chicken by itself being 950 calories!!

That does not include the mashed potatoes or yam fries that you have with it (which would add 300-500 calories on top of the 950 calories)

For most people looking to lose weight, this meal is not optimal.

Unless you have planned accordingly, eating this on top of everything else you ate or eat throughout your day would put you most likely in a huge caloric surplus!

Calories & Macronutrients Summary:

Calories 950
Fat: 59 grams
Carbs: 37 grams
Protein: 65 grams

2) Szechuan Chicken Lettuce Wraps

The general alternative to reducing calories is to replace your burger bun or bread to make it a lettuce wrap.

However, does it really matter?

Well, for the lettuce wraps at Cactus club you’ll be surprised how high in calories this meal is.

How high is it?

990 calories high!

That is an absurd amount of calories for one who is looking to blast away body fat.

Having said that, you can still eat this if you half the amount. By only having half you’d reduce the calories down to 445 calories. Which is great.

Therefore, if you still want to have the chicken lettuce wraps from Cactus Club, then just have half and take the other half home if you are not already sharing with someone.

Szechuan Chicken lettuce wraps are on the list of high-calorie cactus club meals

3) Mini Burgers

The great thing about mini burgers is that there typically shared amongst your group of friends or family.

But, there are some people who like to order them for their own meal.

Calorie wise and fat loss wise is that a good idea?

Well, to the surprise of many, including myself when I first saw this, mini burgers contain 980 calories! One would never think that be the case, but it is.

For this reason, if you indeed are looking to lose weight, avoiding mini burgers would be optimal because you typically would have it with another menu item.

Calories 980
Fat: 67 grams
Carbs: 41 grams
Protein: 44 grams

4) The Feenie Burger

The feenie burger is loved amongst certain people but it truly is right up there in terms of high-calorie cactus club meals.

When I looked at it I was taken aback at first.

Maybe you will be too when you read that it contains 1110 calories!

Yes, you read that right. Just the burger itself is slightly over 1100 calories!

That is an insane amount of calories for a burger and definitely real trouble for someone who is looking to blast away body fat.

Check out the breakdown of the calories and macros below.

Calories 1110
Fat: 77 grams

Protein: 54 grams

5) Cajun Chicken Sandwich

You may know someone whose favorite food item at Cactus is the Cajun chicken sandwich. It might even be yours.

But, is it a good item to have when you are looking to lose weight?

I mean if you compare it to the feenie burger above it looks great at 790 calories.

However, in terms of an overall view, it’s probably not the best choice, especially when you have it with sides.

You may ask “Is there a way I can eat this still even if I am trying to lose body fat?’

Yes, there is.

How is that?

Planning your day accordingly so you don’t go into a caloric surplus by having this food item would be your best bet.

I go over how you can still enjoy your favorite foods while trying to lose weight.

6) Garden Burger

For the vegetarians and vegans out there who are looking for a great low-calorie option, well this ain’t it.

With the garden burger containing 810 calories, it is definitely not optimal when it comes to shedding away body fat.

Below are the full calorie and macronutrient breakdown.

7) Teriyaki Chicken Rice Bowl

When it comes to healthy bowls, people tend to always say “get the teriyaki chicken rice bowl.”

But, just because something seems healthy, does not mean it always is.

This comes in second place when it pertains to high-calorie cactus club meals. Only second to the feenie burger, but it is one of the items that cracks over a 1000 calories!

The teriyaki chicken rice bowl contains 1070 calories.

Again, you would never think that, but it is the case.

However, if you do enjoy this meal, stick to having half the amount and save the other half for the next day to reduce the number of calories you consume.

Calories & Macronutrients Summary:

Calories 1070
Fat: 49 grams
Carbs: 121 grams!
Protein: 42 grams

8) Jambalaya Rice Bowl

I have never tried the jambalaya rice bowl myself, but I always get told to try it.

I cannot speak on its taste, however, I can speak on how high in calories this food item is.

990 calories high is how high it is.

With it also being very high in carbs at 180 grams!

10) Butternut Squat Ravioli with Prawns

The butternut squat ravioli with prawns does not seem like it would be very high in calories, but do not be fooled just because it looks that way.

If you have not already been surprised by the list of foods on here and how high in calories they truly are, then you definitely will be when you hear that this food item contains 920 calories!

One would never think that is the case when you see this cactus club meal in front of you, but it is.

11) Chicken Wings (w/o Sauce)

Chicken wings, in general, have the highest amount of calories when it comes to any form of chicken.

This holds true to at Cactus club as well.

With the chicken wings (without sauce) containing 850 calories, you can only imagine how high it gets when you choose the style/flavor of chicken wings you want.

You are easily looking at an increase of 100-150 calories by choosing the flavor of your choice.

And that will get you close to 1000 calories by just having some good old chicken wings!

Definitely, for most, it is not the best choice, even though protein wise it is really high!

Calories 850
Fat: 55 grams
Carbs: 0 grams
Protein: 83 grams
