Making Healthier Choices while Eating Out-Posted Calories make a difference

Alex M. Susskind, PhD, Associate Professor at the School of Hotel Administration at Cornell University co-authored a study that found that diners at full service restaurants whose menus listed calories ordered fewer calories in their appetizer and entree courses. He said even the chefs at the restaurants in the study were startled by the high number of calories in some dishes. He said the study highlights the critical importance of information for consumers to make wise decisions.
