One of the hardest times to get
nutritional information and make good choices is when
you're away from home.
And when you're hungry and in a hurry,
it's easy to order without thinking.
Oh, excuse me.
May I help you, sir?
Yes, ma'am. I'm hungry and I'm in a hurry.
Let me get a supersize burger, supersize fries,
supersize milkshake, super-fast.
I want everything on it on the double, please.
Sir, I have to warn you that this meal runs the risk
of throwing your diet off balance.
There's a lot of fat and added sugar,
and unless you plan on burning those calories off,
you may want to consider ordering something else.
How am I supposed to know what's in the food?
I mean, this is a restaurant.
It's not like they have food labels on the menu out here.
Well, some restaurants do provide nutritional information.
It's on the web or inside the restaurant and some actually
do print it on the menu.
But the best advice I can give you when you're craving foods
that are deep fried or really high in sugar is to follow what
my mother always used to say, everything in moderation.
Hmm, my mom used to say that too.
So, make your choice based on that.
Well, in that case, give me a small order.
I think that is a great choice, sir.
Thank you. Thank you.
And remember, you can sometimes find nutritional information on
restaurant food to make good choices when you eat out.
Yes, there will be a quiz on this later.
