When you arrive at The Cheesecake Factory, put on your reading glasses, and buckle down to study the hefty menu, you may notice some sections with the descriptor "SkinnyLicious." Started in 2011 with a selection of around 50 dishes and drinks, and now with around 30 items, the "SkinnyLicious" section alone is bigger than most restaurant menus. The way the restaurant chain makes the dishes lower in calories is just through simple ingredient substitution. Compare the 590-calorie SkinnyLicious Chicken Pasta to the similar Tomato Basil Pasta, but with 1,720 calories. For a dish that exceeds some people's recommended amount of calories per day, you'd think it would score higher on our ranking of The Cheesecake Factory's pasta dishes.
