The poor guy that thinks he's doing you a favor by giving a little extra...

For the most part, when I eat out, I can successfully guesstimate the carb content. Even for places that have the nutritional info, I don't really bother to look.

It would pose all sorts of issues if restaurants were legally required to give out nutrition info. Eat where you feel comfortable eating... if you're unsure of what's in something, you can always ask the waiter and they are usually willing to find out for you.

LOL... they have the nutritional info after all...

With the exception of dinner out with the family once a week at a Chinese/American buffet, I rarely eat out. Dining out doesn't have to be difficult though. I have memorized a lot of the carb counts per serving, but if I'm not sure, and there is no nutritional info available, I just don't eat it. If nothing on the menu will work for me, a salad with vinegar and oil is usually safe. If I must have a hamburger, and once in a great while it is nice to indulge, I make them at home so that I know exactly what it consists of.

Unfortunately, most fast food places and family restaurants are not diabetes friendly. Their eye in on their bottom line, not on the health of their customers. I haven't eaten at Wendy's since the 70's except for their mandarin chicken salad a couple of years ago. It is nice to know that they do have some other salads that are somewhat healthy.

They say their focus is on quality ingredients and service, and that guests should determine the nutritional content of their food. We went, I had a Burger & Greens Salad, which was pretty yucky, and their service stunk!

Here's a link to Red Robin's Nutrional Guide.

I ate an A-1 burger there over the weekend....I thought it was really good, but not worth the price. Plus my sugar went through the roof

I Love the Banzi burger w/ no lettuce or tomato.
I get cup of chili instead of fries.

Read the label on a bottle of A-1 and you'll see why.
