Hey Guys

Here's a lekker site of places that have nutritional info for their menu :)
Very helpful if you are planning on eating out.

http://www.freeit.co.za/

I'm sure there are more out there. Anybody know of more?

    Debonairs has a PDF download with their calorie content. It shows per slice, 100g, whole pizza or sub, etc. www.debonairs.co.za

    I've been on the KFC and McDonald's sites before for their menu plan and it doesn't have everything, and often the info is added incorrectly if there is.

    Don't know about any others. I don't eat out much.

    Thanks for this! I'm not sure about websites, but most Wimpy's and Steer's will give you a nutritional booklet if you ask for one. Plus Spur has a nutritional calculator on its website, which is how I discovered that an original Spur burger has almost 1400 calories! Excluding the chips!

    Mugg&Bean don't have any nutritional info available, and they seemed surprised that I emailed them to request it.

    Heidi Mugg & Bean is a local favourite of mine as well, and their lack of NI is frustrating. Please share if you get anything from them!

    They replied that they do not have any ifo available. They did not say whether it was in the pipelines or not.

    Well that sucks. I think legislation should move in the direction of also having restaurants, especially chain restaurants/take aways, make their nutritional information available.
