It’s been more than a year that we’ve all been ranting and raving about Quiznos not publicising their nutritional information. Well, along comes Yoni, an Ottawa-based nutrition blogger with a great blog (bmimdecial.blogspot.com).
He recently posted an entry pointing to Quiznos nutritional information in Australia.
I still don’t know the calorie count of my chicken carbonara […]
So… I haven’t been contributing to this blog much over the past half year or so. The reason? Well I’ve been spending my spare computer time working on a new-concept restaurant/food review site for Ottawa. Tonight I’m making it available to the general public. Check it out!

I’ve always had some idea that people in hot climates eat spicy food because it helps prevent spoilage. Not sure where I got this idea, but there you have it. Research topic!
It turns out that various spices do in fact have anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties, but the level of protection is NOT related […]
Happy New Year to you all! If one of your new year’s resolutions is to lose weight then this might be interesting to you:
As if the Atkins diet wasn’t already enough! The BBC is telling us that another extreme diet will be hitting the North American bookstands in 2006.

I ate an evil, greasy sandwich (chicken carbonara) for lunch at Quizno’s today and naturally wanted to find out how much fat I had eaten. I was surprised to find that their website only lists nutritional information for three menu items:
Small Sierra Smoked Turkey with Raspberry Chipotle Sauce

In this post, I share information that leads me to believe that a little bit of sugar is better than a lot of artificial sweetener.
Table sugar has 4 calories per gram (15 calories per teaspoon). This is the same as other carbohydrates and protein. Alcohol has 7 calories per gram, and fat has 9 calories […]
There is a big consumer trend towards buying organic products whenever possible. Organic foods are safer, tastier, and more nutritious than the old non-organic stuff, right? Well, it turns out that the answer is not so clear. In the land of nutrition and food science it never really is!
Organic Fruits and Vegetables
It’s common sense that […]
I like iced tea with just a little bit of sugar to take the edge off the bitterness. The only way to get this is by brewing it myself, and I’m usually far too lazy to do that. I had sent the folks at Tetley an email a year ago telling them that it would […]
