I already regret asking this but how bad do you think it is for you. The sauce and all. How fatty is it? Its just so damn good I get it on my cheat days occasionally and was wondering approximate nutrition facts on it.

Yup, that's my only real weakness(foodwise) other than pizza. if you have it on your cheat day(or meal) I don't think it's too bad. The problem is that the restaurants actually give you like 3 servings. And, If you're like me, it's tuff because I can't leave anything on the plate. I eat until it's all gone. Bottom line though is that it's probably pretty bad. Cheat meals shoudl have some nutritional vaulue like pizza or a full burger(including the buns). Those might be considered cheat meals but they also provide some good nutrients as well.
 
I find this a good cheat meal since it also provides a decent amount of protien.
