Which Is Worse: Chili Cheese Nachos or Mozzarella Sticks?

"Restaurants are allowed a 20 percent error on either side with their nutritional information," says registered dietitian Kelly Roehle from Rush University Medical Center in Chicago, meaning the nachos could really be sending your diet over the deep end.
