About
Dining By Numbers seeks to explore restaurant dining from an informed perspective. I am out to find the information necessary to solve every diner’s dilemma: what are my options with eating out, and how do I make the best decision for my needs?
As a healthy-minded twenty-something living in California’s Bay Area, I am constantly searching for the most delicious and nutritious choices that restaurants have to offer. I love food, especially when I don’t have to cook it. Whether it’s a quick sandwich from a corner cafe or a three-course meal in the city, I like to know what I am eating and how it ranks nutritionally.
My name is Lara, and I hope you will join me on my mission to be an informed diner. Sometimes I choose the hamburger over the salad, but not without examining all the evidence first. After all, eating out should be fun, convenient, and tasty, but I don’t think it should ever be a mystery.







Looking forward to following you along on your dining adventures and investigations!
Very cool website! One of my biggest pet peeves is not being able to eat out because I have NO idea what I’m eating. My iphone has the “Myfitnesspal” app and that has helped a lot with eating out. But this site is fantastic! Thanks!
Me too! Looking forward to each and every post from someone who knows delicious and healthy *can* go hand-in-hand
Hi Lara! I’m a follower on your other blog and can’t wait to follow you on this one as well! I live in San Mateo and am really looking forward to the “healthy options” when dining out and love seeing your calorie counts and best options to choose from. I’m a huge foodie and love dining out so it’s nice to have a guide from you on the best options to choose from!
Thanks and you’re the best, I look forward to following you on your dining detective journey!

Great work Detective! I know most people don’t think men care about their dinning out nutrition, but I am very nutritionally aware. Staying fit is a lifestyle not an accident. Keep up the investigation and I’ll stay tuned in to your blog!
