We try to eat healthier together as a family too. I didn't know about the fruit at Steak and Shake - very cool! I am on a waiting list for that book - good to know it's helpful! Thanks for the comment - and keep up the good work! :) MeredeEnA - It’s so good to have people to go the journey with you. We try to eat healthier together as a family too.

I just have to say that just seeing the ads for Applebee's makes us both cringe since all they advertise is meat covered in heavy cream or cheese sauces! That just doesn't appeal to us, so we don't worry about what to eat there... I am pleased to see places like Steak and Shake and Sonic adding fruit to their menus. I think they are hearing our tiny voices crying out for something other than grease and saturated fats to fill up on! Keep it up and maybe we'll visit more frequently. I also found the book Eat This, Not That!, which covers what to order from where to eat more healthily (we got the kid version, but find it extremely enlightening - Spaghettios over mac and cheese? much less fat and calories in the Spaghettios, if you can believe that and at Applebee's adults can have the Italian Chicken & Portobello Sandwich without guilt, if the information they provided the publisher is accurate!) Anyway, with a shared agenda maybe someone somewhere will start helping us with our healthy living goal!

And reading about Applebee's being sued over incorrect caloric information, etc, it's even more frustrating. I don't want to avoid restaurants all together because it feels like being overly restrictive. You’re not alone at all.
