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 |

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 |

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 |
