Evil fats and healthy fats are everywhere and it puts the responsibility on you to be a detective and decide what you will and will not eat. Here’s a new tool to help you out. Diet.com recently launched Nutrition on the Go, a text-message service with access to the calorie, fat, protein and carbohydrate content of over 36,000 foods from 1700 restaurants in North America. You enter the restaurant name and menu item (don’t include the AND), then send the text to 34381. You receive a text back with the item name, calories, fat, carbs and protein. I did this for Panera’s frontega chicken sandwich and the text came back with:
Panera Bread Frontega Chicken
Cal: 870

I’m empowered with information and can make a choice if I want to and so can you. Check out their webpage at diet.com/mobile. |
