Diet Poster - Cook for A Better Weigh

Learning objectives and benefits:

Comparisons of calorie counts in restaurant vs home-cooked meals are very clear and concise on this 18 X 24 weight loss poster. Startling numbers for popular restaurant dishes, such as grilled chicken, lasagna, and clam chowder are shown.
Individuals are given tips for cooking light at home: use less cheese, choose lean meats, use more vegetables, cook with little fat and choose skim or fat-free dairy.
Clients will see the benefits of preparing most meals at home, not only in terms of saving calories, but in saving money and time as well.
It also makes a great classroom poster plus it can be used as a school cafeteria poster.
