Balance of Food

Could you pick the healthiest item among four choices of restaurant fare? The first question in the poll commissioned by the California Center for Public Health Advocacy: Which Denny's dish was lowest in calories: a ham and cheddar omelet, country fried steak and eggs, three slices of French toast with syrup and margarine, or three pancakes with syrup and margarine.

The answer? Country fried steak and eggs.

I might have guessed the omelet. This article sums up the poll. This is why we need to be more careful when we eat out. Hidden calories are out there.
