Now that you have seen what you are feeding to your children, let's take a look at what they expect you to eat. At The Cheesecake Factory they have two menus that they give you. The regular menu and a special menu for those without the attention span to go over the regular one. Nothing on the special menu is under a 1100 calories. An average daily intake of calories for an adult is 2000. More than half of this is in one of these meals. Let's take a closer look at these items on the special menu. What really may suprise you is the saturated fat and sodium content per item.
