La Hacienda Offers Calorie Counted Meals on New Menu
The La Hacienda Restaurant recently redesigned its’ menu to include selections in which the calories and fat content have been counted for those wishing to eat healthier.
A Blue Cross Blue Shield Pathways Grant financed the initiative whose purpose was to increase food transparency, Jody Hoener said.
Hoener is a part of the Restaurant and Food Retail subcommittee of the Healthy Bourbon County Action Team that consists of Sherise Beckham (Registered Dietitian) and Joy Miller (RD)and Hoener.
“Joy was able to use KSTATE Extension software to calculate nutritional content,” Hoener said.
The restaurant collaborated on the calorie/fat content additions with a Blue Cross Blue Shield Pathways To Healthy Kansas Initiative.
La Hacienda owners have pledged to increase access to healthy food, she said.
The new counted calorie menu items are spread throughout the listings and are highlighted in green.
