The 600-calorie line we use for "lighter options" is not a clinical threshold — it's a practical one. A 600-calorie restaurant entrée fits comfortably inside a 2,000-calorie day even after a normal breakfast and lunch, which makes it a useful filter when you want a sit-down meal that won't rearrange the rest of your eating. Anything above that line is best treated as your single biggest meal of the day rather than as one of three.

Reading the calorie pills

The colored pills next to each item are a quick visual: green means under 500 calories — light by sit-down restaurant standards. amber sits between 500 and 900, the typical range for a normal restaurant entrée. red is anything above 900 calories, where the dish is large enough that splitting it or boxing half is usually the more sustainable choice.
