Eating Healthier at Chain Restaurants : Olive Garden
The Health of It All
I have created this list of selected items for you to use
when you must eat out. The items listed fall
generally under 400 calories, 15 grams
of fat, and 600 milligrams of sodium, so if you are going to be stuck eating at such
restaurants, this is a fairly good guideline. I've also
included a printable version so that you can print it
out and take it with you for reference.
