Diabetes and Dessert: Counting Calories

By Dr. Bill Quick, Health Pro Saturday, August 14, 2010


TDB said "We ran the nutritional value numbers of dessert offerings ... across the four categories available for each eatery: calories, saturated fat, sodium, and carbohydrates" But they don't say where they got the numbers for "nutritional value information."

Did RMG honestly indicate the calorie and other nutrition information? Or did they for some reason underestimate them -- if they did, they surely are running a risk that someone will find out and there will be egg on their face (or smothered chocolate cake perhaps). Or did the other two websites for some reason overinflate the reported calorie levels? I have no way of knowing.

But I do know that it was nice to be able to compare desserts by calorie levels as well as by price. In the end, I chose to forego dessert.

 

Hmmm, maybe knowing the calorie levels scared me off.
