For Those Watching Their Food Consumption

Jumping on the fast food nation bandwagon, Andrea recently found a website that you may want to remember next time you are pressed for time and want to grab lunch or dinner (or breakfast as the case may be) on the go. It lists all of the major fast food chains in the United States, their menus, and nutritional information such as: number of calories, fat, carbs, and proteins in each serving. Everything from the Breakfast Burrito at Burger King to the steamed lowfat milk you put in your Starbucks Iced Cappucino (tall). Take a look. It's not a 100% complete menu list in some cases, and may not have promotional foods, but at least it gives you a good idea.

(Without going into too much detail, you can do a rough daily calculation of how many calories, proteins, carbs, and fats you can consume, based on your lifestyle (i.e. sedentary to extremely active), your age, height, current weight, and your goal (i.e. to maintain, lose or gain weight). There are tons of websites like this, all with more or less the same information.)
