Default Healthy Dining Finder website -- this is pretty cool!

This was the first article today (3-16-07) in the Life Seciton of USA
Today

http://healthydiningfinder.com/site/

The article said:

"If your travel diet leans toward fast-food gurgers and hubcap-size
cinnamon buns, you're got a new ally in the battle of the bulge.

"Just launched HealthyDiningFinder.com lets diners search for healthy
menu options nationwide by ZIP code, address or restaurants.

"The site, staffed by dietitians and other nutrition experts and
funded in part by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention,
llists menu items that measure up in such areas as calories (no more
than 750 for an entree), fat (a maximum of 25 grams per meal) and deep-
fried items (they're banned in anything other than "very small,"
amounts). About 30,000 restaurant locations are listed, representing
nearly 250 chains and a handful of independents. -- Laura Bly"

***************************

Pretty neat site if you're looking for healthier options even at
fastfood places. (It will direct you about what to ask for even at
Burger King, etc.)

Yours,

Caleb

Unfortunately, the hits for my town only included Chili's, Burger
King and Arby's. Of these three, only Chili's has a choice of lighter
food. The other 2 are just fast food, IMO. I could have given them a
much better list...like Subway, which has veggie sandwiches which are
low cal and low fat, of course they also have big hunkers like their
meatball sandwich with a zillion calories and loaded with fat. There
is also Gatti's and Cici's which have passable salad bars and a local
favorite, Fire Mountain (Ryans) which has a huge salad bar. Without a
choice of salads, I wouldn't call the eating light. It's a good
concept, but in the end, I think it just depends on who want to pay
for the advertising without much thought about whether the food is
actually light or not. dkw

DKW -- Great observation! Why not submit information on the places you
mentioned?

A lot of the time I will have good intentions before I enter a
restaurant but the menu, etc., causes my mouth to order different
kinds of food.

For me knowing what I will order before I enter is a very helpful
thing.

Yours,

Caleb

DWLZ --

You're right! Your site is pretty darned good! Including your very
simple to access calorie counts at the different restaurants.

Yours,

Caleb
