A Hidden Danger for Frequent Travelers
January 1, 2007
A recent report in The Wall Street Journal by Tara Parker-Pope says that meals served at "quality" restaurants are often higher in calories and fat than those served at fast-food chains.
For example: A classic cheeseburger from Ruby Tuesday's restaurant has 1,103 calories and 78 grams of fat, while a Double Quarter Pounder with Cheese from McDonald's has 730 calories and only 40 grams of fat.
And a Tufts University study discovered that people who eat out a lot are more likely to have higher body fat than people who eat mostly at home.
Maybe that explains why I have a tough time losing weight: I travel too much!
