Restaurant Nutritional Guides
CHairforce took a couple of hours and scoured the 'net for nutritional guides from some of the more popular eating establishments.  Check out the charts, or do what I would do if I had even an ounce of will power ... avoid eating out altogether.  Yeah, that ain't gonna happen.

Burger King Nutrition Wizard (Web):
Just about every Air Force base has one of these, and with Burger King's Web-based nutritional guide you can certainly have it your way.  Choose everything from Whoppers and fire-griller burgers to salads, side dishes, treats and kids meals.
Chevy's nutrition guide (PDF):
Chevy's is an awesome restaurant with great food and a relaxing, yet fun atmosphere, but their two-page nutritional guide is sparse at best.
Jack in the Box nutritional page (Web):
One of the best online nutritional guides out there.  Not only can you checkout a truckload of charts for most, if not all the items on Jack's menu, they offer a "Build a Menu" option that lets you build your meal and then provides the nutritional values for those specific menu items.
McDonald's "Bag a McMeal" nutrition wizard (Web):
Like Jack in the Box, McDonald's leaves nothing to chance.  Mickey D's also offers a build a meal option called Bag a Meal.  Took me all of 20 seconds to determine today's lunch (a Big Mac, medium fries and a medium coke) cost me 1,120 calories and 47 grams of fat.
McDonald's basic nutrition (Web):
As if the Bag a Meal option wasn't enough, McDonalds also offers a load of other nutritional information. 
Outback Steakhouse Nutrition Information Guide (Web):
Rather than bore us with gobs of dietary facts and figures, the folks at Outback offer a variety of menus, including Gluten-Free Menu, Healthy Weight Loss, General Guideline for Allergies, Heart Healthy Diet, Diabetic Diet, High Protein/Low Carbohydrate Diet, and MSG and Sodium.  Almost makes you forget they didn't mention one calorie or a single gram of fat.
Pizza Hut Nutrition Guide (Web):
They might not offer something as fancy as dropdown menus and automatic meal builders, but I have to say, their charts are very detailed.
Taco Bell Nutrition Calculator (Web):
Taco Bell's Nutritional Calculator won't win a creative design contest, but in this case, looks don't mean squat.  Build your meal using dropdown menus, then tap the "calculate" button for a surprise ... Surprise! You're gonna get fat!"
Taco Bell Printable nutrition guide (Acrobat PDF):
If you print this nutritional chart, make sure you have a magnifying glass handy because the small print make legal papers look large.  Or, simply use Taco Bell's nutritional calculator above.
Wendy's Nutrition Information page (Acrobat PDF):
Like Pizza Hut, Wendy's offers a four-page PDF chock full of detailed nutritional charts, only more colorful.  They even take it a step further and tell you every ingredient in every menu items, including the fact that their chili contains something called Autolyzed Yeast Extract.  Yum!
SUBWAY (Web):
If Jared can do it, so can you ... maybe?  Although Subway has a ton of healthy choices on its menu, not everything is low fat.  For instance, a 6-inch Chipotle Steak & Cheese adds up to about 600 calories.  But, like your girlfriend said, "Who settles for six inches when you can go for 12."
