Foodie beware of calories

Calories posted for fast food restaurants in New York City. You may think twice before ordering your next Coffee Frappuccino® Blended Coffee, @240 calories, your best bet is their new skinny lattes.

Scones are actually 420 calories, and even the bran muffin is 430 calories. WHAT!!! another caveat be carefull how you read the nutrition label. At first glance you see the number 130, but that refers to the grams, not calories. Very sneaky.

The good news is that you can make healthier choices now that you know the calories involved. At McDonalds, Cosi, and Starbucks the nutrition information is right on the menu so choose well.

Happy eating.
