This document provides a traffic light system to help parents of Everton Football Club Academy players identify the nutritional value of meals and snacks at popular restaurants. It assigns a red, amber, or green rating to items based on their calorie, fat, salt, and nutrient content. Nutritional information is listed for menu options from several restaurants, including Wagamama, Nando's, McDonald's, KFC, Subway, and others. The goal is to help parents make better choices when eating out to support their child's health, recovery, and performance as a player.

As well as being convenient, eating out is also a sociable and enjoyable experience for families. The
following restaurants are popular with our players, so we’ve produced a visual aid to help you quickly
identify the nutritional value of their meals and snacks by using a traffic light system.
When eating out, many restaurants have food options available that are very high in calories, fat and salt,
all of which can negatively impact a players health, recovery and performance. We are in no way promoting
these restaurants, however if you do choose to go to any of them, the following traffic light system will you
make better choices.
Remember that there are many hidden calories and sugar in fizzy drinks, juices, flavoured coffees, etc. – try
and stick to water.
Making Bad Choices Better
Red, amber and green classification is applicable to each specific restaurant.
Red food and drink options are those typically highest in calories.
Amber food and drink options are those slightly lower in calories.
Green food and drink options are the lowest in calories.

Subway
Avoid additional snack options: cookies, crisps, nachos etc.
Try to limit sauces – the Caesar and Southwest sauces contain 180 calories in two teaspoons worth. This is the equivalent of a Krispy Kreme
glazed ring donut!
Honey mustard and sweet onion sauces are best options if you have a sauce.
