・Mega portions: One of the reasons restaurant food is often
higher in calories is because of the large portions. Have you
ever felt like your eyes were bigger than your stomach? You’re
not alone. It’s been well established that when people are
presented with large portions, many will eat far beyond the point
of feeling full. Large restaurant portions can make it easy for
you to fall into overeating without even realizing it.
・Scads of salt: The sodium content of food in eating
establishments is often sky high: 1,848 mg per 1000 calories in a
fast food joint, and 2,090 mg per 1,000 calories at a sit-down
restaurant. Those numbers are creeping up on the recommended
daily limit of 2300 mg per day, so looking for dishes containing
lower amounts of sodium can help you keep your levels in check.

Published to international critical and popular acclaim, this
intensely romantic yet stunningly realistic novel spans three
generations and the unimaginable gulf between the First World War
and the present. As the young Englishman Stephen Wraysford passes
through a tempestuous love affair with Isabelle Azaire in France
and enters the dark, surreal world beneath the trenches of No
Man's Land, Sebastian Faulks creates a world of fiction that is
as tragic as A Farewell to Arms and as sensuous as The English
Patient. Crafted from the ruins of war and the indestructibility
of love, Birdsong is a novel that will be read and marveled at
for years to come.

Before We Go (previously titled 1:30 Train) is a romance film
directed by Chris Evans in his directorial debut, and starring
Evans, Alice Eve and Mark Kassen.
While a young woman in New York City races to catch the 1:30
train to Boston, her purse gets stolen. Lost and frantic while
walking through Grand Central just before closing time, a young
musician avoiding his own life choices takes note of her
desperation, and offers his help. What starts out as an awkward
adventure to get her back to Boston, ends as a night that leaves
them both with an indelible impression of the lies we often tell
ourselves to avoid deeper truths, and the humanity that can
surprise us in the unlikeliest of places.
