Cheesecake Factory pasta dish has more calories than 5 Big Macs

CNN Senior Medical Correspondent Elizabeth Cohen examines calorie counts of popular restaurant entrees and compares them to ice cream and fast food.

Cohen says, “What you want to do is on the menu, look for certain terms. For example, if you see something that says cream sauce – that’s an issue – battered, breaded, con queso, which means ‘with cheese,’ crispy, stuffed – all of those are red flags that say wow there’s probably going to be a lot of calories in this dish.”
