    CALORIE CONFIDENTIAL

    You'll never guess how many calories are in the meals at popular sit-down restaurants. Your neighbourhood casual-dining chain is serving meals positively loaded with fat and calories and sodium, in amounts far surpassing those usually found in fast food.

    Marketplace had nutritional analyses done on popular items from several chain restaurants. As Wendy Mesley reports, a single meal at one of these restaurants could actually contain more calories than most of us should eat in a whole day.

    We've all been trained to think of fast food as junk food, but most burger chains publish detailed nutrition charts on their websites and will even hand out info at the counter if you ask. Maybe a lot of the choices are unhealthy, but at least the facts are out in the open.
