Thing is, all of us are conscious when it comes to our health, especially with the proliferation of weight-loss shows and with the latest winner from the Biggest Loser,&#160; it brings a stronger message to make ourselves fit. But, the calorie count in the menus I feel is frustrating and somehow irritating.&#160; I go out every other day with my friends for a nice dinner and this is where we really eat to our hearts&#39; delight after a day&#39;s grueling work, and if I see a calorie count next to my favorite well-done lambchops and stone crab, it&#39;ll spoil everything. </p> <div at:enclosure="asset" at:xid="6a00e398e4cea1000400f48d0f9aca0001" at:format="medium" at:align="left" class="enclosure enclosure-left enclosure-medium photo-enclosure" style="text-align: center; float: left;"> <div class="enclosure-inner" style="padding: 9px; border: 1px solid; width: px; margin: 0 20px 20px 0;" > <div class="enclosure-list"> <div class="enclosure-item photo-asset last"> <div class="enclosure-image"> <a href="http://cotesensing.vox.com/library/photo/6a00e398e4cea1000400f48d0f9aca0001.html"><img src="http://a2.vox.com/6a00e398e4cea1000400f48d0f9aca0001-200pi" alt="Stone crab" title="Stone crab" /></a> </div> <div class="enclosure-meta"> <div class="enclosure-asset-name"><a href="http://cotesensing.vox.com/library/photo/6a00e398e4cea1000400f48d0f9aca0001.html" title="Stone crab">Stone crab</a></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div><!-- end enclosure --> <p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p><br />But again, that&#39;s just me.<br /> <div><br /></div></p> <p style="clear:both;"> <a href="http://cotesensing.vox.com/library/post/i-go-to-a-restaurant-to-eat-not-to-count-calories.html?_c=feed-rss-full#comments">Read and post comments</a> | <a href="http://www.vox.com/share/6a00e398e4cea1000400e398f2726c0004?_c=feed-rss-full">Send to a friend</a> </p> food restaurants calories calorie count
