What to watch for on the vegetarian menu

Cheesecake Factory portions run large, and vegetarian does not automatically mean low-calorie or low-sodium. Cream-based pastas and fried appetizers can carry high calorie and sodium counts. Items tagged vegetarian may contain eggs or dairy; check the allergen table for details.

How this list is built
