USA Today reported the results of a study by the Rudd Center for Food Policy and Obesity at Yale University, published in the American Journal of Public Health.
The Yale University study divided diners into three groups.
• One was given menus with the calories listed for the dinner entrees.
• Another group was given menus that cited the calories plus a reference number that showed the recommended daily caloric intake for the average adult: about 2,000.
• A third group had menus with no calories listed.

Ditto on what Cheap_Hessian said. Nutritional info is good, but it should be up to the restaurants.
MMMMMM that looks awful good!
Long time no see! How Y’a doin?
Just fine. Hope you are doing well too!
will just make me reach for that extra hunk of cheese!!!!
And after the first of the year, we're gonna be recording to put out a CD.
Life's been pretty good!
I like the idea. I may still eat whatever I like, but at least I’ll know the nutrition info about it. I do Weight Watchers, and in order to figure out my ‘points’, I need total calories, total fat grams and total fiber. Sodium would also be nice, but I don’t count that, because I don’t need to do so.
Most folks don’t eat everything at one sitting, anyway, so they’d likely be eating half of the total.
Sounds like a resturant that I’d avoid.
I cook healthy all the time at home.. Low fat, tons of veggies.
I go out to eat when I want something special.
I’d prefer the sirloin! LOL!
Best of luck to you on the CD!
Same here. Plus you can tweak it without making it fattening....course you know that ;-)
