calories?

[bbnursie]

I was just wondering when we visit the restaurants in disney if they will have available how many calories, fat, protein etc are in each meal. I know most people say to not worry about calories on vacation but it is hard when you bust your butt everyday to not do so.

Disney doesn't publish this information, and the restaurants will not have it available. Some menus may have "healthier" or "lighter" options marked, but they will not have the numbers.

. . . I was just wondering when we visit the restaurants in disney if they will have available how many calories . . .

1) The restaurants do not list calorie counts.
2) It is not something they want people to know.
3) According to TWO chefs I know at WDW,
. . . lots and lots of salt
. . . lots and lots of sugar
. . . both are things that make food taste better *

* Just look at the list of ingredients on prepared food at a grocery store.

Just keep telling yourself you are burning it off with all the walking, and order another Diet Coke.

I can tell you how many calories are in each meal: zero. There's pixie dust involved so calories don't exist and there's the exact proper proportion of protein, good fats only, fiber, etc. Whatja think? It's Disney.

They don't. I would guess the top reason is it would deter people from eating in Disney if they realized how "heavy" the food was. That's why I like to bring pre-packed items from home that are safe and healthy (not to mention it's cheaper). Some of the healthiest options in Disney are the vegetarian ones like spicy vegetable pastas, hearty bean and veggie salads, veggie soups, etc. I've done a great deal of research on the diet and I'm proof it works.

I too wish this information was available. I know why they don't publish this information, because everything is ridiculously unhealthy and even the "supposed" healthy choice options are probably your entire days worth of fat and calories. I am what people would consider a health freak in real life, so take my opinion for what it is. I thought that if you asked they had to tell you this info? What about diabetics who need to count carbs?

Oh well, I just tell myself that its one week a year that I go to Disney and just try to maintain healthy eating. I never eat dessert IRL, but at Disney I order creme brulee or bread pudding practically anywhere I can, lol. Something about their bread pudding is just so much better than anywhere I have ever had it. Sharing all your food is my strategy so that I try lots of things but don't have to finish it all.

We just came back from WDW. We are on Weight Watchers Online and we managed to eat healthy and only gained 8 tenths of a pound. With all the walking we figured the weight we gained was from sitting on the plane for hours and hours. : )
