Recently a study was released by a research group at Tufts University (click here for link). Thanks Tom, for posting this on facebook!!!

If you are like me, then you monitor your calorie intake wherever you go. This is absolutely necessary if you are serious about losing weight. I’m the kind of guy that my friends poke fun of when they see me going through a menu and ordering my meal based upon the calories in the various meals and sides. At first it bothered me; but once I started seeing some major improvement, I started to care less. Now at my current state (~7% body fat) it is second nature and never forget to check. Its all about getting into good habits I say.

However, things get difficult once you realize that what restaurants post are wrong. In fact, some meals at restaurants were found to have 25% more calories than what was listed. Now that can ruin your diet for a day!!!! So bottom line is, be careful when you eat out and make good choices.
