Hi Everyone, I thought this is worth sharing so I decided to put it out here for all to read. Think you can lose weight simply by avoiding larger chain restaurants and dining at independent eateries instead? Well, you will have to think again. Researchers measured the calorie counts in meals of the same cuisine at 56 chain and 171 non-chain restaurants in three U.S. cities. The non-chain restaurant meals averaged 1,205 calories, which is more than half of the recommended daily total for adult women and nearly half for men. That wasn’t much different from the calorie counts at the chains. In all, 92% of the meals from both restaurant types exceeded recommended calorie requirements for a single meal.
