Restaurant nutrition counts may be unreliable

If you're someone who take calorie counts to heart, especially when eating out, read this. It follows the adventures of a chef who, in an attempt to re-create fast-food favorites, did in-depth studies of items found at popular eateries. She found that the nutritional data provided was unreliable at best, and in some cases, the food she ordered had up to twice the amount of fat and calories than advertised! 50 calories here or there is one thing, but an extra 100 or 200 calories can really add up. Her article is pretty eye-opening and I suggest you read it.
So the moral of the story is: You never really know what you're getting unless you make it yourself. Am I right?
