    And for those who don't want to take the time to read the article, here is the ending quote that I think sums it up pretty well.
    For anyone watching calories, Urban suggests ordering all dressings and sauces on the side. And be careful with obvious culprits like desserts which, uniformly in this analysis, contained more calories than stated on the menu.
