    I read that today and thought to myself, hum, it's a good thing I began to cook more at home instead of eating out because not only is it better, it's cheaper too!

    I just assume most caloric info is off. This is why I try and leave some room on my calories.

    I read something similar yesterday too. Otherwise be prepare to count extra 200-400 in addition to what restaurant claimed.
