Putting calorie information right on the menu was supposed to help you make healthier choices while eating out. But a new study from the American Journal of Preventative Medicine shows that the additional information to help your waistline isn't making a difference.

According to the study, customers at TacoTime, a western Washington chain, who read and access to how many calories were in their chimichangas, burritos and tacos on the restaurant's menu were just as likely to order them as people who didn't have the calorie information.

CNN's Senior Medical Correspondent Elizabeth Cohen breaks down the report on American Morning.

But as Dr.  Mark Hyman suggests, taking that extra 15 minutes to prepare a home cooked meal can do the world in difference for both your life and the life of your children.

Evidence has repeatedly shown that kids who have dinner 5-7 times a week, with a home cooked meal, end up less likely to drink and smoke and more likely to do better in school and have a more meaningful social life. Dr. Hyman joins TJ Holmes and American Morning today to share tips on how to not only "save our health but also save our money."
