Restaurants make a boo-boo.
A client of mine sent me a fantastic article on restaurant calories. This isn’t just another article about how shocking it is that there are 2900 calories in a serving of fries. For a good article on that though check out this article here at Men’s Health.

No, this article was REALLY awesome because they took the food that had a nutrition guide list of the calories that it had, went and tested it, and got the REAL results.
In some cases it was obvious that it was a little extra sprinkle of this here or there. However, some meals were off by over 500 calories.
This just reaffirms why to NEVER put your hard work and results in the hands of someone else.
You will also find it funny that some of the biggest ones off are the “guiltless or skinny” selections.
