A useful resource on restaurants

I was cruising around today, trying to find useful information to help me move off this weight loss plateau where I've been stuck for a month, and ran across this site, which lists nutritional information for menu items of many, many restaurants. Also included are Weight Watchers points information, if you use those. I made some jaw-dropping discoveries. My favorite Vegetarian Fajita Burrito at Chipotle? 1220 calories and 50 grams of fat!

Hope you will find this as useful--if not as disconcerting--as I did.

Oh, yeah--Chipotle. When I started Weight Watchers and, like you, found Dotti's Weight Loss Zone, that was the big shocker for me, too. My favorite lunch: the carnitas burrito.

It's 26 WW points. At my heaviest (and on the active weight-loss phase of WW), my entire day's point target was 24. Now that I'm at a maintenance level, I might be able to eat 24 points a day again--or it might end up being a little less.

And I used to eat a carnitas burrito for lunch, and then go have a nice dinner that evening...
