According to the New York Times, counting calories on fast food or even restaurant food isn’t always accurate. Apparently, when the restaurants or whatever give you the nutrition value, there’s always a good possibility it’s up to 20% incorrect, so you may want to give yourself a little buffer if you’re calorie counting.
They sometimes are inaccurate in the sense that they tell you there are more calories than it really is, but that’s not usually the case. I guess they tell you a slice of thin Domino’s pizza (don’t know why you’d want Domino’s in the first place, but…) is 181 calories but apparently it’s only 141. But then they say a bowl of grits at Denny’s (which is gross, ew grits..) is 80 calories but when tested it’s 258.
So. Just a heads up for those calorie counters out there..
