Restaurant Meal 1 article

A restaurant meal is food ordered from a restaurant for dine-in or takeout, with menu structure, portions, cooking method, sauces, sides, and beverage choices shaping the final meal. Its practical value comes from menu choice, portion size, cooking method, sauces, sides, beverages, sodium, and any available nutrition information. The concept is flexible rather than prescriptive, so nutrition coverage should describe the foods and portions actually involved instead of attaching a universal healthy-or-unhealthy label to restaurant meal.
