Portion Size

Hi guys,

Going out for dinner tonight and was looking at the database for calorie listings. It says that a chicken salad is 480 cals and the portion size is 'half cup cooked' What does this mean? Does it means that its actually 960 cals for a salad????

Confused!

Just guessing.....I bet that is not a salad like with lettuce tomato and such. More like chicken salad you would put on a sandwich made with mayo.

Can you find nutritional information for the specific restaurant you are going to? That might be more accurate.
