Calories are king

I've recently started counted calories, in part to know what I'm eating and to keep the waistline under control, but more to force myself to realize that the 1,000-calorie nachos are usually a poor choice. As this New York Times editorial shows, restaurants posting calorie counts does help people eat less calories (which is usually accomplished by just choosing a healthier menu option, e.g. salad over nachos). I know it definitely helps me...and if more restaurants posted, I wouldn't have to spend as much time googling erroneous calorie totals for everything from broccoli to chicken parm.
