Are you eating healthy when you dine out? Here are a few surprising facts about foods you may (or may not) have considered healthy choices:

  • Many entree salads have tons of calories, especially when you add full-fat dressing or order them with breaded/fried chicken on top.
  • Relative to most other choices, chili is a reasonably healthy option if available
  • Emerging (not conclusive) science indicates that diet drinks can predispose to weight gain and metabolic syndrome
  • 100% fruit juices are loaded with calories/sugar
  • Loaded baked potato entrees can be loaded with calories
