Fatabase v2.0: 18 months on, some restaurant chains still refusing to divulge nutritional info - most fattening restaurant dishes

For example, the so-called healthy restaurant food is actually harmful to you.
Since we first collected nutrition information for B. C.
2010 New Year's Day, the West Coast hotel industry has changed.
HST has thrown restaurants into chaos and more strict drinkingand-
Driving rules have stood out from business lunches, consumers are paying more and more attention to health, and some institutions have encountered difficulties in the concept of "less is more.
But this is not all bad news.
In fact, there were some encouraging signs at some of the chain restaurants on the Fatabase naughty list before.
White Spot has posted its nutritional information online and has gone further than most by including alternatives for many of its larger goods.
Now, customers can get the nutritional information of the legendary burger without sauce, fries or even bread, and last year you had to work hard to get the most basic information.
The International Pancake House has also joined the battle, putting nutrition information online and launching the "simple health" series for more than 30 meals, with a total of less than 600 calories.
IHOP is also available
Menu suggestions on how to replace menu items to reduce fat, salt and calories.
Overall, the number of restaurants that revealed nutritional information increased from 64 to 80.
But there are still 80 chain stores keeping the information confidential.
The Cactus Club says its menu is too complex to change so often that it can't tell people what is actually in the food, although Moxie told The Sun, however, its menu changes too much in different positions to display information accurately.
We don't call back at Brown's social Hotel.
Abc country restaurant did not provide nutritional information to its customers, and it went out of its way to promote its commitment to health on the website.
"Ten years ago, the abc country restaurant decided to adopt a healthier and deeper
Frying road, in partnership with Winnipeg's manufacturer Richardson International Limited, began using Canola Harvest HiLo for all fried menu items, "said the profile on the menu page.
"Canola Harvest HiLo is omega-
9 Canola oil, unique high heart-healthy mono-
Unsaturated fat, in other commonly used frying oil, the trans fat is zero, and the saturated fat content is the lowest.
"It's all good, but still doesn't tell you if the farmer's noodles are good (
Described as "noodles with creamy garlic and Parma sauce, peasant sausage and mushrooms ")
Good for you, no good for you, or hysterical bad for you.
When we pointed out that the restaurant's hot chicken Caesar salad was roughly the same fat content as the four McDonald's burgers, Earles slammed last year's fat content.
Earls has been removed from our worst menu list this year-
But doing so is largely because they do not include the nutrients on both sides in the information on many of the most fattening dishes.
Check out their roast chicken club and you might be shocked by the 1,659 mg sodium that comes with it --
This is 10 per cent higher than the daily salt intake recommended by the health authorities of 1,500 mg.
But when you read the fine print
"See the appropriate side for nutrition information "-
You start to realize that the project is much worse for you than you thought it was in May 1.
Add another 799 mg of salt to the club's fries, not to mention 90 grams of carbohydrates and 775 calories.
Add a Caesar salad and you stare at another bucket of 468 mg sodium and 20g fat for a total of 2,926 mg sodium
Or twice the daily limit.
However, even this number will not put the Earl's club on our list.
In order to crack that group, knock on the thick cut of IHOP-
You need to add another 1,400 mg of sodium in ham and eggs.
Number one offender
Sample appetizer
Contains up to 6,830 mg of salt.
It's easy to understand why some chain restaurants secretly get nutrition information because of how much salt, sugar, calories, fat and carbohydrates some foods contain.
Earls hot chicken Caesar salad has 77 grams of fat, which is the same as the fat content in McDonald's 22 McNuggets.
Cream chicken Alfredo contains 275 grams of carbohydrates, 2 gallons of popcorn gift cans than KarmelKorn (272).
It's good to display all the information in full, but to use the information correctly, you have to take the calculator to the restaurant.
Items on their "Eat Well" menu are displayed as health options, but the fine print shows that the service size used is actually not available for purchase.
For example, the pasta of the Tuscani Mediterranean con polllo is packed in a tray, but the nutritional information is based on the "tray of 1/3 ".
"Again, the pizza on the menu is very reasonable at first glance, and it becomes less reasonable when you realize that the numbers are based on one piece, not the entire pizza.
You can decide how many slices of pizza you ordered. The U. S.
The chain website displays the nutritional information of its yogurt products (
No Canadian version)
But when you look closely, it's all based on 1/2-cup serving.
If you find 1/2 cups (4 fluid ounces)
On your local TCBY, the size of the yogurt is available, please let us know as we haven't seen it so far.
Something we found when we explored B. C.
The restaurant's data is surprising.
For example, who knows that there is more trans fat in the butter roll than you found in triple Huabei?
Who would have thought that 210 of the 227 grams of carbohydrates in the Mediterranean salad came from the pita bread they used?
Don't Let's start with a milkshake: their big beer milkshake contains 278 grams of carbs, which is just 10 grams of the entire 16 grams --
Inch XL Hawaiian pizza, 46 grams more than Smoky Mountain pasta and meatballs.
The root beer itself contains only two grams of carbs, so changing to a regular chocolate shake won't bring joy to those full-fledged festivals.
Of course, no one will think that a root beer shake is a healthy choice, but sometimes it looks like a healthy choice is very bad for you.
Take the smoked salmon omelet with salad.
Not just fattening,
It's right outside of us with a total of 106 grams of fat.
German Dutch oatmeal is located outside the list of 20 sugar, with 94 grams of sugar
Or 23 grams more than McDonald's average Coke.
So how do consumers make sure they know what they're eating?
Simple: visit the restaurant that shares information, check it before ordering, and have sauce on the side.
