Chicken Caeser, Cobb Salads, and Chef Salads can easily exceed 1000 calories or more! What might be low may not be so low. Even a Big Mac may have lower calories and fat content.

Mary Ann Twist reports in her press release "Full Disclosure: People Will Make Healthier Choices if Restaurants Provide Nutritional Data" that better food choices are made when nutritional information is supplied.
The authors of the study noted that trying to estimate calories by sight is almost impossible. In a study where calories and fat were supplied after the subjects ate the food, they noted better choices in future meals. Apparently when a seemingly "low calorie" item turns out to have much higher calories than the subject thought, the food is much easily avoided in future meals.
