No wonder why people seem to get heavier, and heavier. Just open your eyes at a theme park; and you will see what I am talking about. We all know it is portion size, and not knowing exacting how many calories we are putting in our mouths.

Remember, it is a restaurants goal to have you walk out feeling very satisfied. If that includes putting sticks of butter into the recipe, then so be it. The restaurants goal is for you to tell your friends, and come back for more. In 2007, as a result of strick time constraints, people are eating out more than ever. This results in eating more calories which translates into larger waistlines.

One recent study revealed some of the “eating out” meals contain over 2,000 calories,  and we don’t even know it. One hamburger company has a burger which is close to 2,000 calories, and that is even without the fries. Wow! It is equivalent to eating five McDonalds quarter pounders. The sad thing is we don’t even realize how many calories are being taking in.

The moral of the story is BE AWARE. I guarantee you, if you are eating out often, you are taking in more calories than you need. Be an intelligent, healthy diner. You have been warned!
