A Canadian study reviewed 685 meals from popular restaurant chains that post nutritional information publically.
May 14/New York/ABC News -- Fast food may have a reputation for being a diet disaster, but as two studies published in the Journal of the American Medical Association found, sitting down to a meal at a restaurant does even more damage to the waistline and overall health.
When University of Toronto researchers analyzed the nutritional information of food ordered at 19 sit-down restaurant chains, they discovered the average meal contained a whopping 1,128 calories -- 56% of the average daily 2,000-calorie intake recommended by the Food and Drug Administration for a healthy adult.
