摘要：

Federal menu-labeling regulations now require certain restaurants to post the calorie content of all standard items on menus. This study uses survey data to analyze the association between restaurant menu label use and total and source-specific daily caloric intakes among individuals who saw nutrition information on a menu the last time they visited a fast-food or sit-down restaurant.
