In an effort not to overeat, I scrupiously count every calorie that enters my mouth. So today I went to Pei Wei for lunch - very yummy, by the way. I only had a second, so I checked the nutritional information quickly on a favorite calorie counting site before leaving and decided on a child's teriyaki bowl. I know from past experience that the calories Pei Wei lists are only for half the dish (I found that out after eating 800 calories, thinking it was only 400), but the third-party site I checked said for the kids, it was the full dish - including rice.
So I got home and decided to recheck on Pei Wei's official nutritional guide. Instead of the 260 calories I thought... it was 700!!!!! What kind of a restaurant serves 700-calorie meals TO KIDS!
Guess I'll be eating a lite dinner.

Ouch! I have been counting calories too and you'd be surprised just how many calories are in MOST kids' meals. No wonder there is such a problem with childhood obesity. Even if the kids do get out and get exercise they have to burn off 3 times as many calories if they ate out (and most do more than once a week.)
yikes!! they have to run and play alot to burn that if its even possible!
