Eating Healthy at Olive Garden

Planning a healthy meal at Olive Garden starts with understanding the nutrition behind each dish. With our interactive Nutrition Calculator, you can build your entire meal — appetizer, entrée, sides, and drinks — and see the combined calories, fat, and sodium before you even walk through the door.

Look for the Lighter Italian Fare section for meals under 600 calories, pair your entrée with a house salad instead of extra breadsticks, and choose marinara-based sauces over cream-based ones like Alfredo to significantly reduce fat and calorie intake. Every small choice adds up to a healthier meal.
