I bought a book from my health care provider that has come in very handy. It is a listing of most fast food places. For each place, it gives the different foods and all of the nutritional value of each.There is a Boston's Market here that sells baked chicken meals. Since I am on a pump, this book has become invaluable. I put it in my purse, and go.:dancing2:

There are a couple good reference books and web sites that have good information on restuarants and fast food places. The latest pump by Animas has a built-in food database and lets you download menu items from restuarants also.

My pet peeve. Sometimes they actually HAVE the nutritional data on their website but hide it.

At www.in-n-out.com I had to do a search on Nutrition. Some of them work fine from your home or laptop PC, but when you view them from a phone or PDA, forget it.

Generally the company website is the only place you'll find the newer foods.

Of course, the In-N-Out Burger menu never changes, unless you get one of those goofy 4x4 or lettuce burger things that aren't on the menu.

Though in In-N-Out's defense, they actually give the information for the more popular stuff on their "secret menu."

Now Fatburger, that'd take me a month to figure out. I get mine with everything. They better have "with everything" on their website.

It's nice having a smartphone for stuff like this.

I have that booklet too and I love using it :D

I think I have an older version but it still works great for me when I'm trying to find something on the menu I can eat.

Yep, and the same company has in my opinion the best carb reference book.

I used that PPC software when I was first diagnosed. It worked pretty well, but eventually, I just memorized what everything was and got too lazy to carry my PDA everywhere.
