Nutrition facts on the Web
I used to eat a lot of fast food before my gall bladder surgery, not because it was especially tasty, but because it's just easier sometimes. It's now necessary for me to watch fat when I eat, and I thought it would be fairly easy to figure out some fast food items I could still have.
Chik-Fil-A had a nutrition pamphlet on site, which was wonderful. Many other places no longer have the information at the restaurants, but they do have it online. It's annoying, especially since I rarely plan far enough ahead to look it up and see what I can eat. Recently, I went to Moe's, which told me to go online. Only online was down. So no Moe's for a while.
Applebee's was an odd one -- they had specific information for their Weight Watcher items, but not for their other dishes. I took a chance on something that I thought I could handle, and luckily, I was OK.
Anyway, for many of you who may be forced to count calories, and for those who just want to watch how much fat they are taking in, here is a nifty site that has nutritional information for many restaurants. I compared their information with the pamphlet I got from Chik-Fil-A, and it seemed to be accurate.
