| With our busy lives these days we are more | | | | OUTBACK STEAKHOUSE |
| apt to dine out, pick up take out food, or | | | | |
| have food delivered to us. The problem is we | | | | TONY ROMA'S |

| The average dinner meal at a restaurant is | | | | |
| 1200 calories, and 60 grams of fat. Men | | | | BURGER KING |
| should not have more than 70 grams of fat a | | | | |
| day, and women 40 grams of fat a day. One | | | | CARLS JR. |
| meal alone can make up one whole days worth | | | | |
| of fat, or two, in the case of women's diets. | | | | CHICK-FIL-A |
| If you do find a meal that is low in fat, | | | | |
| make sure you do not consume such a large | | | | JACK IN THE BOX |
| serving that you eat more calories than you | | | | |
| should. | | | | MC DONALDS |

| low-fat meals. | | | | have had a bad day, a bad week, a bad month, |
| | | | or a bad year. Reducing the foods we do not |

| APPLEBEE'S | | | | Remember, even though we are overwhelmed, |
| | | | stressed out and tired, we must make healthy |
| CALIFORNIA PIZZA KITCHEN | | | | decisions when it comes to what we eat. Trans |
| | | | fat, found in most cooking oils in |
| CLAIM JUMPER | | | | restaurants- is the worst kind of fat you can |
| | | | put in your body. It increases the level of |
| CHILI'S | | | | blood fat called triglycerides, and has even |
| | | | been found to contribute to insulin |
| MACARONI GRILL | | | | resistance, which raises the risk of Type 2 |
