Fast Food Calories

I think that everyone looks at calories, whether it is to count or just a quick glance. I usually just quickly glance at the calories and sometimes that usually determines if i chose that snack or food item or something that has fewer calories. I normally eat at home for dinner, so I don't look at calories because i normally eat two vegetables, cornbread or rolls and a side meat or fish, but i read this article about false calories when people go out to eat. I learned that the calories in fast food were off by more than 15%. That means that someone can think that choosing this meal while I'm out is healthier than eating that fast food but really the meal that they choose is the same in calories. That is something to think about when eating out vs. eating at home. One thing that the article stated that stood out when eating out is that eating 10% more calories than you think is enough to cause 10 to 20 pounds in weight gain a year!!! So when eating out remember those calories!!! Eating at home is always better!!!
