in Food and Nutrition
So my whole food log gets thrown off every time I have to do this, but I couldn't find nutritional info for the restaurant Bravo! and had to find similar items to fill in. A lot of times the wait staff will tell you info is listed online, but that's not usually true so this time I checked before going out. When I got there, I told our server I'd already looked online and that there was nothing listed on their website, could she please ask the manager if they had any nutritional info listed at the restaurant. Of course they didn't! How is this legal? Doesn't the FDA require a place to announce how bad the food is for your health?! :grumble:

    The only solution that worked for me about restaurants was to stay out of them.:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

    If you know it's bad why are you eating it at all?

    I agree!! That actually happened to me today as well...I usually check before I go and I plan ahead. It's surprising how many restaurants are operating without any knowledge of what's in their food. At most places you can find a few decent meals, but it's hard to know which ones they are without the info. I ordered veggie fajitas and I'm sure all my calories were wasted on it! The grease from them was utterly disgusting!

    How can I be sure if it's bad or not without the nutritional information? I ordered veggies and scallops which seemed like a good choice but it came out in a creamy sauce that didn't taste too healthy... and how much butter was used to cook the veggies? These things should be available to the public
