Fast Food Factoid: There are over 136 foods at Romano’s Macaroni Grill. Unfortunately 57 of the foods listed in this guide have more than 20 grams of saturated fat. That’s the maximum amount of saturated fat a person should have in one day. All that from just one order. That means you will have to choose much healthier foods for your other meals.
Food For Thought: Iron is used to carry oxygen in the blood. You should eat foods high in heme-iron (lean meats) or eat other iron containing foods along with foods rich in vitamin C, which can improve absorption of non-heme iron. Whole and enriched refined grain products are major sources of non-heme iron in American diets.
