The Skinny on Restaurant 'Diet' Menus
Independent Testing Showed Far More Calories and Fat Than Advertised in Many Meals
By ANNE YEAGERKNXV-TV PhoenixMay 22, 2008
Think you're being good when you order off the diet menu in restaurants? An investigation by several TV stations suggests that you may be getting more calories and fat than you think.
Eight TV stations owned by Scripps tested a small sample of diet menu dishes (one sample of 23 different items) from popular chain restaurants including Chili's, On the Border, Macaroni Grill, Applebee's and the Cheesecake Factory.
Reporters ordered off the low-calorie, low-fat menu. The food was then tested by lab technicians, who weighed each sample, extracted the fat and then figured out the calories in each meal.
Of the 23 items tested, 78 percent exceeded the fat limit listed on the menu and almost 69 percent of the samples went over the calorie count listed.
The guiltless grilled salmon at Chili's promises a dish that's 480 calories and 14 grams of fat. But the tests revealed the dish was actually 664 calories and 35 grams of fat.

In fact, every "guiltless" item tested from Chili's contained more fat and calories than what was listed on the menu.
"I have clients who order off the guiltless menus and many of them are not losing weight. This could explain why," said clinical dietitian Chrissy Barth.
Skip the Sides
Chicken fajitas from On the Border Mexican Grill's "border smart" menu are listed as containing 570 calories and nine grams of fat.
The serving tested weighed in at 654 calories and 26.5 grams of fat. And the dish came with a free "sample" of queso dip, salsa and chips that would add an additional 2,067 calories and 117 grams of fat.
The skinny chicken at the Macaroni Grill is supposed to be 500 calories and six grams of fat.
Not bad at all, but if you eat the huge piece of bread they include, you get twice the calories and eight times the fat.
These three restaurants are owned by Brinker International. In a statement, they apologized to their customers and said they "strive to ensure nutritional information … is accurate."
At Applebee's, reporters ordered seven meals low in fat and calories from the "weight watchers" menu.
The calorie difference was slight, but the fat was over what was stated on the menu on every item tested, doubling and even tripling the fat count in three of the meals.

Applebee's responded that their menu is 94 percent compliant and that they will continue to regularly test these "weight watchers " items and, if required, take action.
Finally, a look at the Cheesecake Factory's weight management salads, which according to the menu all have under 590 calories, found the salads were very close to the stated calorie count.
But the fat totals of all of the salads were high, topping out at 49.7 grams.
The Cheesecake Factory doesn't list the fat content on their menu, so they said that their menu was correct, and people could order dressing on the side to help cut the fat.
Barth, the dietitian, said that people need to look at "diet" menus with a more critical eye.
"When people do go out to eat they need to really … just be more aware of the portions," Barth said.
It's important to watch out for the extras that come with some of these meals. Having a great low-calorie, low-fat meal doesn't do much good if you eat the bread and butter, or chips and dip, or ladle on the high-fat dressing. Those are the things that can really pack on the pounds.

The bbq-donut® is the brainchild of German inventor and entrepreneur Sebastian Schmitt, and we think it has applications globally for everything from singles get-togethers, company getting-to-know-you events, a customer magnet at carnivals and festivals, waterside and beachside promotions and as a floating catering service.
The main floating body of the 3.6 meter diameter donut is constructed of Polyethylene (PE) with a very strong UV protection as well as an antistatic additive, and all-up, ready to go, it weighs in at around 500 kg, and is capable of carrying a payload of around 1000 kg. There's an optional trailer for the rig, so it can be towed to different locations.
Bottom line, we're very impressed with the bbq-donut® and can see it playing a role in social engagement of all types around the world. Perhaps not quite as suited to seaside resorts as inland and sheltered waterways, we warrant you'll be seeing one of these somewhere near you sooner rather than later. And for entrepreneurs anyway near a river, go to it. It's a profitable franchise if we ever saw one. Subscribe in a reader

Freebies on Your Birthday!!
Today is my son's 19th Birthday. We were looking for free meals for his birthday and we found an informative Article on Freebies for your Birthday. I think my son is going to try IHOP free meal.
Everyone has said that "there is no such thing as a free meal", but that isn't always true. If you are willing to sign up for email lists with different restaurants it is very easy to get something for free, and some in fact do offer a free mail. Most restaurants especially chain restaurants have email clubs that you can sign up for online. If you sign up for these clubs online some restaurants will send you a welcome gift. In general that welcome gift is a free dessert or appetizer. The best welcome gift I have heard about so far was Damon's Restaurant which sends out a coupon for $10 off two entrees. The welcome gifts are nice, but you get discounts on other occasions which are better. These are for your birthday or anniversary.
For birthdays and anniversaries, the dominant gift is a free dessert, but for these special occasions some restaurants offer a free entrée or menu item. Golden Corral and IHOP both offer free entrees for your birthday. Fuddrucker's and Red Robin's will both offer you a free hamburger for your birthday. Buffalo Wild Wings gives away a free dozen wings on that special day for you. At Taco Bell you can get a free combo meal on your birthday. A couple restaurants give some non-traditional gifts for your birthday including Hooter's which will give you a free t-shirt and Famous Dave's which lets you spin the prize wheel (at restaurants that have a wheel) or gives you a random "gift" for your birthday. If you dine at Dave and Buster's on your birthday you can get a $5 game card.
The dessert offerings are pretty standard. Most restaurants say they will give you a choice of any dessert offering on their menu, but make sure you ask before ordering to confirm this. Restaurants that do this include many of the family chain restaurants such as TGIF's, Applebee's, Bennigan's, Chevy's, Macaroni Grill, and Outback.

White Castle to offer 87-minute burger sale for .27 cents on May 27, 2008
Restaurant Coupons
COLUMBUS, Ohio — In recognition of National Hamburger Month, which is celebrated in May, and the company’s 87th anniversary, White Castle System Inc. will turn back the clocks for 87 minutes of vintage-priced burgers.
On May 27, White Castle will offer the company’s Slyder burgers for 27 cents from 2 p.m. to 3:27 p.m., limit 10 burgers per customer. Selected locations in all White Castle restaurant markets will participate in the promotion.
White Castle opened its first restaurant in Wichita, Kan., in 1921, selling its burgers for 5 cents. The price of a Slyder didn't reach the 27-cent mark until the early 1980s. While prices have always varied from city to city, the average price of a White Castle hamburger today is 53 cents.
