Oh yeah it's like no wonder America is so fat! I mean I've seen SALADS that are over 1000 calories! That's CRAZY! IT'S A SALAD! I might as well eat a stick of butter and call it a day
Now when I go out to eat I ask where we are going- I look up the foods and select before going- I don't even look at the menu anymore- and if the restaurant has no nutrition information I refuse to go lol. At work they go eat out on Friday's and I try to keep those meals under 600 calories if possible. Like last time we went to Cheesecake factory I had a "weight management" salad that was under 600 calories and water to go with it. The time they went to a taco shop I just didn't go because there is nothing good there!
I have friends who are severly overweight who eat out EVERYDAY- they are killing themselves and they don't care- they say "I'm gonna die anyways, might as well enjoy it." To which I say well that's true but you are taking years off of your life AND you may have medical problems when you get older so why not take care of it now before it happens?
I say fast food places should stop using so much salt and butter! Maybe then America as a whole will lose a few tons of weight
