So have many times have you gone out to eat and ordered the guilt-free or light item on the menu like a good girl/boy? You think you're sticking to your diet and still enjoying a nice night out right? WRONG! A Baltimore news station decided to put these restaurants to the test. They sent the food to a lab for testing to see if the nutritional stats provided by the restaurants were in fact correct. They weren't. One entree claimed to have only 9 grams of fat, but it really contained 30!!! Another item that claimed to have less than 6 grams of fat and only 500 calories actually had over 1,000 calories and almost 50 grams of fat!!! This is absurd! Hungry Girl (one of my fav sites) did a whole write up on this and you can read it here. For more on the restaurants click here. You can also click pic above for even MORE info.Monday, June 2, 2008
Lies ALL LIES!
