Eat This, Not That describes 15 Secret Restaurant Swaps. I don't normally eat this stuff (except for Panera), but two caught my attention:
Eat Subway's 6" turkey sandwich over Panera's Sierra Turkey.
Drink Guinness Draught over Sierra Nevada Pale Ale
Update: Well huh. See the comments for what Sierra Nevada has to say about this.

We recently came across a piece you recently did regarding calories in beer. While we appreciate you providing our consumers with information on how they can still enjoy a beverage while watching out for their health, we found that your numbers were inaccurate regarding our Sierra Nevada Pale Ale. In one 12 oz Pale Ale there are actually only 175 calories on average, and our Draft Pale Ale is slightly lower at less than 157 calories in a 12 oz’s serving, not the 200 that you had printed. If you check out the nutritional information on our website www.sierranevada.com you will find the correct caloric content for our beers. Most of the calories in beer are from alcohol – so the higher the alcohol content the higher the calorie count. The beer it was compared with is a much lighter version of the traditional full flavored Stout. It is different than the Foreign Extra Stout historically brewed by Guinness, and contains only around 3.3% alcohol by weight. Most standard strength beers are 140-200 calories in 12 oz servings; even most domestic lagers have approx 140+ calories and higher alcohol than the Guinness.
Our consumers return to our ales again and again for the enjoyable drinking experience; a few extra calories for 100% whole cone hops, all malt, naturally conditioned beer – we think is well worth the few extra calories.
Just thought you might like to have the most current accurate information for your readers. If we can help provide any additional information please don’t hesitate to contact us. We would be happy to continue this dialogue.
