You Look for Restaurant Nutrition Information

Categories: Your Turn, Nutrition & Supplements

your turn
I'm a single mom and between work, baseball games, taking care of the house and working in the yard, I sometimes feel like I can't catch up. I'm a big advocate for cooking at home; when you make the meal, you can control the ingredients and quality. But when life is really crazed, a night out at a restaurant is a pleasant break for me. Still, when eating out, I know that I don't want to get blindsided by a surprisingly high-calorie meal.

Last week, I asked if you review nutrition information at restaurants before ordering. I'm glad to see the majority of you do. Here are the results:

  • 53 percent of you will check the menu for nutrition information, check online before going out to eat or ask the server for information -- whatever it takes to know the details about what you're ordering.
  • 24 percent of you like to see the nutrition information, but don't go out of your way if it's not clearly stated on the menu.
  • 17 percent of you check nutrition information sometimes -- like when you're trying to lose weight.
  • 3 percent watch your calories at home but don't worry about it when you go out to eat.
  • 3 percent of you never worry about the nutrition details and just eat what you want.
