Blue Zones Project Approved
Restaurants
Restaurant meals can weigh us down or lift us up. The typical entrée in an American restaurant weighs in at 1,000 calories. For the average adult, eating one meal away from home per week translates to gaining about two additional pounds a year. The Blue Zones Project Approved™ restaurants below have demonstrated a commitment to offering smarter choices to their customers.
