Calorie counts have popped on menus in New York, and they could be coming to a restaurant near you too. Per my earlier post on the topic, we know
The View co-host Joy Behar doesn't like looking at calorie totals when she's ordering. She's pretty sure she knows what she's getting when she picks her meals. She doesn't need anything in writing or in her face. You -- all you readers out there -- now, you seem to be of a different mindset. Look at what 106 of you shared when polled on your thoughts about the whole calorie count thing.
- 89.6% of you like calorie counts.
- 2.8% of you don't like them.
- 7.5% of you don't really care.
The majority of you like calorie counts on menus. I think I do too. Like Joy, I do
generally know what I'm getting when I order but like most Americans, I'm sure I underestimate when it comes to numbering the calories in my favorite foods. And since underestimating tends to lead to overeating, I think it's wise to have a little reminder system in place, because if that seemingly healthy salad, for example, comes with a whopper amount of calories, well, then, I'm ordering something else.

Certain foods may help us lose weight. I read at http://www.projectweightloss.com/index.php which are those. Although some of them are high in calories, they may enhance the digestion by increasing the rate of burning fat.
