Ann Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 Last night I happened upon a neat website called The Daily Plate. One of its features is a listing of popular restaurant dishes and their food values. I typed in "Don Pablo's" and was appalled at the numbers that appeared for the Chicken Caesar Salad: 1,563 calories (that's a day's worth!) 85 grams of carbs (I'm choking as I write this) 118 grams of fat (I don't even wanna think about it!) I didn't venture any further into the site, but I bet it's just full of surprises... http://www.thedailyplate.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kim Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 Ann, I got on there and looked at some things and it's a good calorie counting place for those of us on a diet! Thanks for the info.! KIM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ann Posted March 1, 2007 Author Share Posted March 1, 2007 Some of these numbers are enough to scare us into dieting!!! I have checked out some of my favorite foods and resturants. It's unbeliveable how many calories some of these dishes have. I love Red Lobster's Crab Alfredo and already knew that it couldn't be good for you. Dennis used to refer to it as "heart attack on a plate." Well...it has over 1100 calories per serving...and I'm not even going to mention the fat grams and carbs...lol! Guess that will be one of those foods I just have to bid farewll to. What's something you need to give up that you really love??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geri Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 I don't think there are really any foods that I need to give up, just exercise some portion control......where have I heard that before!!! Bread and potatoes are are very favorite things to eat, especially a french fry sandwich, so if I'm to be honest with myself that should be controlled at the very least! I've just let out a huge sigh here......the diet or should I say life style change starts next week. Wish me luck Geri Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick C Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 Holy cow, I went to taco bell yesterday ( a little treat, I don't do that often). My lunch was 1420 calories!!!!! ARGH! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 Aha at last one bad habit i never got into on a regular basis. I maybe go out and eat once every 2 week's. But i have seen skinny people become fat from a regular diet of restaurant food. But in my drinking day's i did eat alot of tavern food....
