Restaurant Report Cards

Men's Health magazine investigated the average amount of calories in a meal per various popular restaurants. Even though I have before criticized the fast-food industry for containing high-fat foods that contribute to our country's increasing weight problem, we can't ignore the sit-down restaurants that also serve high-fat foods that also contribute as well.

You can find this information, and more, at both websites.

Check out the "Report Card" they put out for restaurants based on the average caloric intake from their foods:
