GUILDERLAND - You may not think of it when you order fast food, the number of calories you're swallowing. For instance, a standard breakfast platter with pancakes? Over 1300 calories. That bacon cheeseburger combo meal?

"1010," pronounced State Health Commissioner Dr. Nirav Shah, at a media event Monday.

Health officials say that's too much, launching a campaign called "I Choose 600" to get New Yorkers to limit the calories in each meal.

"600 is the magic number because 600 times three meals plus a snack is 2000 calories we should be having a day for an average adult," said Shah.

But Shah said  too many people exceed 2000 calories a day, with larger portions and eating on-the-go.

Chef Lomanto's Kitchen will be hosting a surf and turf cooking class on Monday from 6 to 9 p.m.

Participants will learn how to cook with a wide selection of meat and seafood. The meats used come from Bowman's Market and the seafood from Antonucci's.

Admission to the class cost $60.

Chef Lomanto's Kitchen is located at 124 South Main Street in Gloversville.

The Gloversville Enlarged School District will hold "Al's Spaghetti Dinner" on Monday, November 29, from 4 to 7 p.m.

Attendees will be able to eat a tasty dinner at Al's Pizzeria while helping an appreciative group of students. Proceeds from this fundraiser will go toward the completion of an outdoor classroom. The room is expected to be available for use by this summer.
