The finished product will have a higher calorie count depending on what else you have added to it. Misleading? Possibly, to those not paying close attention or unable to sum up three-digit numbers.

The only thing is that it'll cause some consumers to migrate to other restaurants where they could live in blissful ignorance. It'll be like, "wait sbarro's is how many calories?! Lemme go to a counterfeit Ray's instead! Who knows how many calories is in a calzone!" Yum. I think it’s a great idea.
