Wait, who is Eat Fit BR?
Eat Fit BR is a non-profit organization that teams up with local restaurants in Baton Rouge to bring delicious and nutritious menu options that meets the Eat Fit nutritional criteria. They work with the chefs and restaurant owners to identify menu items that are Eat Fit approved as is, slightly modify existing recipes, or create brand new menu items that meet the nutritional criteria. Then they mark the Eat Fit approved menu items with the Eat Fit seal to make healthy eating in restaurants a no brainer.
