The Successful Experiment (Finally)

Since I have been failing miserably at trying to turn my family onto some better food options, I decided that it would be better just to see how their food choices differ when they're in a different setting. Instead of it being just regular fast food, I decided to see if their food choices would be similar at an actual restraunt.

Dad's Meal:
Chicken Quesadilla: 1440
Monzerella Sticks: 430
Spinach and Artichoke Dip: 1460
Boneless Buffalo Wings, Spicy: 360
Iced Tea: 0
Total Calorie Count: 3690

Mom's Meal:
Grilled Bacon Cheese Chicken Sandwich: 720
Fries: 420
Water: 0
Total Calorie Count: 1140

Jarria's Meal
Chicken Fingers: 240
Fries: 400
Coke: 70
Total Calories Count: 710

My Meal
Cheeseburger Sliders: 870
Monzerella Sticks: 430
Boneless Buffalo Wings, Hot: 590
Coke Zero: 0
Total Calorie Count: 1890

According to my observations, it seems like our family eats twice as many calories when we're acutually at a restraunt; and for the most part they're the same things that we would usually get when we go to McDonalds or Burger King. If we could possibly just cook the things that we get at fast food places, we could probably cut down on the calories.
