Calorie count laws are a type of law that require restaurants (typically only larger restaurant chains) to post food energy and nutritional information on the food served on menus.[1]
Studies of consumer behavior have shown that for some fast-food chains consumers reduce calorie consumption but at other chains do not.[2] In response to federal regulation in the United States, some restaurant chains have modified certain items to reduce calories, or introduced new menu items as lower-calorie alternatives.[3]
