Just as many restaurants are listing the calorie counts and sodium counts in their food, I believe MCPS should post this same information.

Hi Derek,
MCPS lists the calories in each item on the menus posted on its website. Click on the links in the first few paragraphs of this post, and you'll be taken to the full menus, and the calorie info will be right there.
