*A note about our nutrition criteria:
The menu items highlighted at each participating restaurant meet the nutrition criteria, which were adopted from the National Restaurant Association’s Healthy Dining program and based on a 2,000-calorie diet. However, keep in mind that everyone’s nutritional needs and goals vary. If you have specific dietary or health considerations, you should consult your physician and/or registered dietitian to better understand if these menu options meet your needs. For example, many dishes prepared in restaurants and food stores are high in sodium, and the Healthy for Life program does not evaluate the sodium content of adult entrees. If you need or want to limit your sodium intake, please contact the individual restaurants for sodium content.
Also, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has very strict guidance for calling a food "healthy," but these criteria are different from the Eat Well program criteria. For example, in its criteria, the FDA includes limits for sodium and cholesterol, but Eat Well does not. Therefore, Eat Well does not claim that the menu items listed here meet the FDA’s criteria for healthy.
