Restaurant help:
I have a rather specific restaurant request. We are looking for a sit-down restaurant that serves vaguely healthy food that's not just a salad. Does anyone know of any restaurants that list calorie content on their menus (even part of their menus)? Any restaurant that is simply more health conscious overall?
Bonus for multiple vegetarian options. Double bonus for T/bus accessible.

Martsa on Elm in the square has lots of vegetarian options and offers brown rice instead of white if you're so inclined. They don't offer calorie counts (honestly, I don't know anyone who does other than McDonalds), but if you steer clear of coconut milk you'll get a healthy meal. The portions are rather large, but who says you need to finish them.

Les in Harvard Square - Vietnamese, get vermicelli and you'll have a bowlful of veggies and herbs and rice noodles and fish sauce to dress it all with - tons of flavor with no fat. You can get it with various toppings, most of them meat but some not.

Actually, now that I think about it it's possible that b.good in Harvard square list calories. But they serve burgers.

martsa on elm has been crossed off of our list since we both got sick after eating there. its always packed and i just assume everyone thinks that its trendy to support tibet or something.

Up in Teele there is House of Tibet Kitchen. It's quite awesome, and they have the nutritional information for yak posted, if you want a lean meat option. There's also plenty of vegetarian dishes. It is not so much trendy as it is delicious.

we don't go to teele square nearly enough considering it such a short stroll away

Aw, sorry to hear that. I actually really like them. Well, I don't like the space - it feels like a cafeteria - but I get take out from them quite a lot.

If you're thinking Vietnamese, there's also Pho'n'Rice on Beacon St. in Somerville - walkable from Porter Square T station, and I'm sure there's a bus that gets you there too.

I can't vouch for the pure vegetarianness, though. Fish sauce is ubiquitous. They do have a vegetable noodle soup in vegetarian broth, and you could get tofu with vermicelli and not put the fish sauce on.
