How many calories are we eating when we eat out?

How many calories are we eating when we eat out? If you are like me, you probably wonder but don’t exactly take the time to look up the info online. This week was a big win for nutrition in terms of calories and restaurants.  Tucked neatly inside the health reform legislation is language that will require calorie labeling on chain restaurant menus, menu boards, and drive-through displays, as well as on vending machines. The legislation applies to chains with 20 or more outlets, and requires them to provide additional nutrition information on request. We will now be given easy access to the most important information when eating out…calories!
