Eating at restaurants can be full of pitfalls. How do you know what's healthy and tastes good, as well? Dr. Gourmet is visiting common restaurant chains and testing the healthiest options so that you can eat out with confidence. See the list »
Most people who work at eating better know that the salad bar can be a terrific way to eat out, eat great food and have a healthy meal. There are a few items that can tip the scales as far as fat and calories are concerned, especially if you're trying to watch your weight. A major offender is salad dressings, and I have created a list of the Nutrition Facts for salad dressings from major chain restaurants.

I
have to admit that I seldom eat at fast food joints. I much prefer to eat
great food and it's worth the time to either cook it myself or find a better
alternative to fast food.
If you are going to eat at fast food restaurants, use these lists to find the best, healthiest options at the different fast food restaurants.
I have kept it pretty straightforward and the only information included is calories and fat. The items listed fall generally under 400 calories or so and under 15 grams of fat. If you are going to be stuck eating at such restaurants this is a fairly good guideline to use for any meal.
