A recent study in the journal found that consuming food from a fast-food restaurant was associated with an increase in 126 total calories for children and 310 daily calories for adolescents for that day. Consuming food from a regular full-service restaurant was associated with an increase of 160 calories for children and 267 calories for adolescents. So this means that, compared with a meal at home, eating at either a fast-food restaurant or a regular full-service restaurant means an increase in calories each day that kids eat out. This study also showed that eating a meal at a restaurant was associated with a higher intake of sugar, fat, and sodium, particularly when eating at a fast-food restaurant.
