High-sugar restaurant orders
The typical candy bar has about 35 grams of sugar. That’s 7 teaspoons of sugar—or more than you should get in an entire day. What would you say if you knew your favorite restaurant dish has double or triple—or even quadruple—that amount? And we’re not only talking about the desserts.
High amounts of sugar can be added to beverages, even seemingly innocuous ones like a chai latte. Added sugars also tend to hide out big time in sauces, dressings, and even the batter on fish or fried chicken. Per day, women should take in no more than 25 grams of added sugar, while men should cap their daily intake at 36 grams.
Avoid overdoing the sweet stuff with this guide: We’ve highlighted the sugar kings at your favorite restaurants and suggested healthier, less sugary (yet still tasty) items to order instead.
