Exhibit 1:
My favorite micro brew/restaurant I would always have the Spinach salad because I knew I was going to indulge in a beer. Well this is what I found out:
Spinach Salad 590 cals 48 g fat
when my real favorite is
Vegetarian Calzone - small is 580 cals 21 g fat and that's with cheese which a lot of times I ask for it without cheese :-)
Exhibit 2:
How about Boston's I use to get their Greek salad and pass on the pizza then I saw this
Greek Salad 900 cals 84 g fat
Now I know you can't forget about the nutritional value of some foods when picking what you're going to eat but I'm just saying I wish that all restaurants were required to give us their nutrition info. and I greatly appreciate the ones who do because then I can plan for when I splurge :-) The last couple of days I've been having to dodge things like this:
But that's a whole different story!
Do you ever check for nutrition info online before going to a restaurant? What is your favorite "splurge" food? Don't forget about my ROAD ID Giveaway there is still time to enter HERE!!

If it is a chain store, I look online for nutrition info. But no matter where I go, I ALWAYS ask for dressing on the side and never eat the croutons. It's funny because my BF and I choose where we eat based on how good their salads are and their beer selection. :)
Ha! It sounds like we have our priorities straight! :-)
I check the nutritional value. Like you said, sometimes things you think are low in calories/fat aren't! I try to order salads with the dressing on the side and I stick to ones with lots of veggies, as the meat ones (cobb etc) are packed full of calories!
Since I had my surgery, I have to be extremely careful with fat content, carbs, and most important of all Sugar. I can only consume about 3-5oz of food at one sitting and that takes at least 40min to do that. So I am not really much for eating out anymore, because it is so hard to find stuff that falls in the single digits of sugar, and carbs.
