What is a restaurant nutrition guide?
A restaurant nutrition guide is a chain's official list of calories and nutrients for its menu, usually a PDF or a page on its website. It's the most reliable source of a chain's numbers.

What does it mean?
Guides list each item as served, with a serving size. They change when menus change, so check the date.
Third-party apps copy these numbers, sometimes with mistakes, so the official guide is the one to trust.
How does it show up when you order food?
Every number in Pleit and its restaurant directory comes from official Canadian nutrition guides. Each restaurant page links to the guide it's from.
