Short answer
SkinnyLicious is a section of the regular Cheesecake Factory menu where every dish is under 600 calories. It has 31 items across 5 groups, ranging from 260 to 590 calories. It is ordered from the same menu at the same table there is no separate menu to ask for.
On a menu where a single pasta can reach 2,000 calories and an appetiser can beat that, a section with a hard 600-calorie ceiling is worth knowing about. Here is all of it.

Every dish on the menu under 600 calories
How much lighter is it, really?
Several dishes exist in both a SkinnyLicious version and a full-size version. Comparing them is the clearest way to see what the section is actually doing.
| Dish | SkinnyLicious | Full size | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| Veggie Burger | 560 cal | 1,190 cal | 630 cal |
| Factory Chopped Salad | 530 cal | 780 cal | 250 cal |
| Chicken Taquitos | 400 cal | 420 cal | 20 cal |
What the label does not cover
- Sodium. Not capped, and often high.
- Sugar. Not capped either, particularly in dressings and sauces.
- Cooking method. Under 600 calories and fried are not mutually exclusive.
- Drinks and sides. The calorie figure is the dish as listed. A cocktail alongside it can add more than the dish contains.
- Bread. The free bread service arrives before you order and is not counted anywhere.
Ordering lighter outside this section
SkinnyLicious is not the only route. Lunch portions of standard dishes are often close to the same calorie band at a similar price, and the salads and fish sections have plenty that sits well under the menu average without carrying the label.
