I just read an article on the Hungry Girl site (link can be found under my Fav Websites) regarding the accuracy of nutritional information provided by restaurants. This story discussed an evaluation by labs not affiliated with the restaurants nor were they hired by the restaurants to provide the nutritional data. What was found is pretty scary although nothing other than I expected unfortunately. We all must practice due diligence when eating out. If your plan is to stick to your food program (rather than a splurge day), be sure to order the food the way you want it prepared to avoid excess calories and fat. Also, check the portions. If they are large, that is your cue to put some aside right away to take home with you.It really is sad that when we are all trying to do are best and make the right choices to stay healthy and fit that we have to worry about restaurants deceiving us in this manner! Just be aware and read the article at this link ASAP! Picture from Hungry Girl site.
