- 13. Industry Secrets
- 14. Burger King • BK Fish Sandwich and fries have a whopping 1,000 calories – nearly half of your daily caloric intake! Fish is only healthy when it’s not breaded and fried in partially hydrogenated oil.
- 15. Pizza Hut • A standard pizza in Italy contains 500-800 calories, but the same meal at Pizza Hut can top 2,100 calories! You would need to ride a stationary bike for 3 hours to burn off this meal!
- 16. Cold Stone Creamery • You can save 40 calories and 2 grams of fat by choosing shaved chocolate, not chocolate chips, as your topping!
- 17. Olive Garden and Outback • Neither of these restaurants provide nutritional information on their menu items…wonder why? • Olive Garden – a plate of Grilled Chicken Marsala has 1,315 calories and 86 grams of fat! • Outback – the Aussie Cheese Fries have an unbelievable 2,900 calories making it the single WORST food in America!
- 18. Keep in mind… • 2/3 of US adults are now overweight and the obesity rate has increased 50% since 1960. • The food industry spends 30 billion a year on advertising - 70% of that is for convenience foods, candy, soda and desserts! • Even the experts are confused.
- 19. Smart Strategies • Personalize your order • Order half portions or split meals • Think “thin” or “naked” • Pass on the bread (if possible ) • Drink water

Editor's Notes
- TIP: Wraps can pack a ton of calories in a sneaky way! The Caesar dressing is also loaded with fat.
- TIP: I make sure to get brown rice in my burrito bowl because it’s packed with fiber and keeps you full longer. Avoid piling on the sour cream and cheese to lower your fat intake.
- TIP: make sure and ask for an apple as a side instead of bread
- 2/3 of US adults are now overweight and the obesity rate has increased 50% since 1960. Is this bc we all just turned into junk food junkies? No, its bc restaurants and food marketers are loading our meals with empty calories and there is nothing we can do about it…. But be INFORMED! The food industry spends 30 billion a year on advertising - 70% of that is fore convenience foods, candy, soda and dessert! Even the experts are confused. In a Cornell Univ study, 85 grad students and nutrition science professors served themselves ice cream. They underestimated their own serving size and caloric intake by 40 %!
- Personalize your order – ask to leave off certain items such as cheese, bacon or spreads. Ask for things on the side. Be aware of the “sides” such as fries, etc. Think Thin or Naked– ordering thin crust can save you almost 1,000 calories. Ordering a burrito “naked” saves you approx 800 calories
