The Most Gut-Busting Chain Restaurant Desserts (Slideshow)

A return to a more meat-centric menu (the veggie burger is no longer available and all entrées except one come with meat) indicates that Ruby Tuesday is not riding the wave of health-conscious dining options; meals are followed up with high-fat-and-calorie desserts.

After indulging in a steak dinner here (such as the 1,663-calorie New York strip with blue cheese pecan salad and a sweet potato), it's probably best to leave the high-calorie desserts Down Under.

Winner: Chocolate Thunder From Down Under (supposedly contains four servings, but is one brownie with a large scoop of ice cream and is presented as an individual dessert)

This eatery strives to give a hometown vibe, but their dessert menu is a gut-buster. The Blue Ribbon Brownie is aptly named if only because it nearly takes top honors in stratospheric doses of fat and calories.

Their new "SkinnyLicious" menu notwithstanding, The Cheesecake Factory is noted for heaping calorie counts. Go figure, it isn't the cheesecake here that's the worst offender, and of all things, the carrot cake has more calories than the cheesecake!

Calories: 1,679

Fat: 49 grams

Carbohydrates: 206 grams
Runner-Up: Carrot Cake

Calories: 1,549

From a restaurant that offers a deep-dish mac and cheese entrée clocking in at 1,980 calories and 134 grams of fat, expect a dessert that follows suit. Uno has it covered with a dessert that contains even more calories than the entrée, and it's the unhealthiest chain dessert on the market right now. Who needs a food coma when eating the whole thing might send you into a real one!
