Friday Food Facts

This week i'll expose some (random) calorie counts.  (thanks to http://www.calorielab.com/)

Some of these are obviously not healthy while others are sneaky culprits by sounding somewhat healthy.

Cheesecake Factory

Appetizers
Fried Macaroni and Cheese...1,145 calories

Guacamole (made to order) (serses 2-4)...1,609 calories
Factory Appetizer Favorites (serves 2-4)...3,218 calories (even divided by 4 that's still 804 calories)


Main Courses

Barbecue Ranch Chicken Salad...959 calories (i'm guessing that doesn't include dressing)
Pasta Carbonata with chicken...2,291 calories (holy crap!)
Rigatoni with Marinara...1,211 calories

Think fish is the way to go?  Better make it grilled.
Wasabic Crusted Ahi Tuna...1,750 calories
Miso Salmon...1,673 calories
Grilled Salmon...713 calories  (really?)
Judging by the calorie counts on the grilled fish, you're likely getting way more than a normal serving.

Desserts
Linda's Fudge Cake (which happens to be delicious)...1,369 calories
Original Cheesecake...707 calories
Low Carb Original Cheesecake...570 calories
Adam's Peanut Butter Cup Fudge Ripple Cheesecake...1,326 calories
Chocolate Mousse Cheesecake...939 calories

Don't even get me started on the sodium counts.

Information is POWER!
