Restaurant Research and a Fast Food Quiz

Good morning Usman!
 
Have you ever been advised to choose a salad over a burger in order to save calories at a fast food joint?
 
I know I have.
 
In fact, hearing that advice so often is one reason why I was surprised during a recent visit to a fast-food chain. I looked up at the calorie counts on the menu and actually gasped out loud. Many of the salads had far more calories than the burgers, and the same was true with most of the chicken sandwiches. So I decided to have a little fun with those numbers.
 
The post, Restaurant Revelations: Hidden Sources of Calories features a quiz that you can use to show your clients how important it is to research calorie and nutrition information before they choose a meal in a restaurant. There's a PDF handout of the quiz as well, along with an answer key. Some of the answers may surprise you!
 
Enjoy!
