Diet.com has a new service called “Nutrition on the Go.” If you’re out at a restaurant and need nutritional information on a food item that you’re considering ordering, this is for you! Apparently all you do is text the restaurant name and food item to DIET1 (34381) and it sends you back a text message with the item’s nutritional information. Now, I haven’t tried this myself and am not endorsing it, but just thought I’d spread the word that this is out there! Sounds great to me, though!
