Long John Silver's gets healthy(ier) fare at last

A little while ago, we told you about Yum Brands restaurants making an effort to get healthier by displaying calorie counts on menu boards. Now they're going a step further with one of their brands -- Long John Silver's seafood restaurants are not only revealing their calorie counts, they're populating their menu with healthier items. Whereas a standard meal at the restaurant chain consisted of only deep-fried food, the new Freshside Grille will offer non-fried options like grilled Pacific salmon, grilled shrimp scampi, vegetable medley, and seasoned rice.

So how do these healthier meals stack up? According to their nutrition calculator, like this.

• The Grilled Salmon has 150 calories, 5 g of fat and 440 g of sodium.
  
• The Shrimp Scampi (full portion) has 110 calories, 5 g of fat and 610 g of sodium.
  
• The Vegetable Medley has 50 calories and 2 g of fat.
  
• However, the rice has 270 calories, 4.5 g of fat and 670 g of sodium. Yikes.
  

All in all, not bad -- just avoid the rice if you're cutting calories.
