website links to fast food restaurants

Did you ever wonder how many carbs were in the fast food meal you were consuming? How about grams of fat? You might be amazed at the nutritional contents of your favorite fast food. For example, did you know that a Burger King Double Whopper with Cheese has more than 1,000 calories? That’s almost half the total calories per day a moderately active adult female weighing approximately 132 pounds would need to maintain her weight!

Fast food restaurants are pretty good about presenting their nutritional values to you on their websites. Some have fancy meal calculators (Burger King), while others have a wide range of information and materials to help you know what you’re eating. McDonald’s, for example, offers not only nutritional content data, but also information on special diets, food ingredients, and
allergic sensitivities.

In case you wish to check before your family’s next trip to your favorite fast food emporium, here’s a handy list of URLs to check the food values of your menu choices:

This list offers just a few of the possible restaurants, fast food and otherwise, in the Rochester area. Other dining establishments may list the nutritional contents of their menus as well. If they have a website, check it out or, if not, ask if they have a guide available. Most restaurants do.
