Daily Mail reporter update: 05: 49 on July 26, 2010, this may be a perfect solution for dieters who still like to eat out.
A chain restaurant has become the first restaurant in the country to publish the calorie count of each item on the menu.
Real Greek groups made the decision after taking part in a government plan designed to help people make healthy choices when they eat out.
Its menu now shows the calories in a bowl of Athens mixed nuts (479), olives (317)
Or mutton skewers (344)
A bottle of Mythos Greek beer (133)
Or drink (655).
Then big-
Sounds like Bifteki (
Beef and onion pie with yogurt)
It carries an amazing low of 252.
Perhaps more importantly, diners can see the Greek lemon cake (377)
Chocolate mousse cake (397).
The chain operates six restaurants in London, counting calories with the Food Standards Bureau.
Liz Williams, general manager of the chain, said that due to the sale of low-calorie dishes such as baked halloumi (151 calories)
At the expense of high-calorie food.
So a dish like this-fried silverfish, has now been replaced by a 140-calorie grilled asparagus and 134-calorie lahanosalata.
