Funny. I was just playing around with Red lobster's on-line nutritional portal.
Caesar Salad: 540 calories. 77% of the RDA of fat. 45% of the RDA of saturated fat. 48% of the RDA of sodium.
Crab Roasted Garlic Seafood Bake: Sound's healthy because it's baked, right? 1000 calories. 86% of the RDA of fat. 65% of the RDA of saturated fat. 173% of the RDA of sodium. That's without any salad, sides, add-ons or drinks, mind you.
Their whole notion of "RDA" is nuts IMHO, fat is not unhealthy, saturated fats are not universally unhealthy, some are in fact very healthy, and sodium is my friend :-). I eat all the sodium I want and need and my BP is very low. Not even to mention "their" fixation with dietary Cholesterol, their "warnings and advice" have killed plenty of people probably with them shifting them to simple refined carbs and trans fats instead of healthy meats, eggs, fish, cheese, and butter.
