Now, check your calorie intake with new MenuStat site

NYC's health department has created a new website, called MenuStat, to help the user determine the nutritional content of over 35,000 menu items from 66 fast-food chain restaurants.

Dr. Thomas Farley, the Health commissioner, asserted that MenuStat is different from other nutrition-based sites as it provides time-stamped nutritional information so users can assess changes over time, the New York Post reported.

The site, which needed 80,000 dollars for its set up, also provides easy-to-use tools for comparisons and analysis, Farley added.
