One of the most frustrating things about trying to get healthy is the lack of nutritional information in restaurants. Sure, one can estimate the caloric and fat contents of certain restaurant foods, but it's a crap shoot at best. Now that California mandates that nutritional information be posted in restaurants, the industry itself is shaping up:

Romano's Macaroni Grill, with four locations in the region, has managed to squeeze a whopping 880 calories out of just one salad, as the chain's menu undergoes a massive revamp under new ownership.

In June, Denny's rolled out its "Better for You" menu, which will be available at all 1,550 Denny's restaurants, including 400 in California. One of its signature items on that menu getting a calorie cut: The Grand Slam.

It's good to see that we are going to have more healthy options soon, and upcoming federal legislation, if passed, will precipitate more news like this.
