Sometimes you eat at restaurants that do not provide nutrition information for their recipes. You can evaluate how healthy a salad is based on the ingredients it includes to help you make a wise choice.
Be honest – which one of these salads have you had? Are there any on the list that surprised you? Are there others over 1,000 calories that were missed?

I did not know it had that many grams of fat and that many calories. You hear the term salad and you automatically thin health food!I don't think I will be eating this salad anymore! Thanks for the information!
i have had Chili's Boneless Buffalo Chicken Salad, but it was good. i only get it once in a while
ReplyDelete-Sob- but I LOVE buffalo chicken ANYTHING and apparently can no longer labor under the delusion that salad+ 'lean' chicken= good for me...dang.
ReplyDeleteI never order salads when I go out to eat. When I get the chance to get out of the house I want to have something a little more substantial.
ReplyDeleteSome of those salads sound really calorie high, but maybe they taste good? Most of those places are near where I live though.
I meant to say most of those places are NOT where I live (sorry about that)!
ReplyDeleteIt's so depressing. You think you're being "good" and in reality you would have been better off eating the big mac and french fries! Some of these I didn't realize were so terrible thanks for bringing together this list. Definitely "food for thought!" Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the heads up! I'm always amazed at how something that can be good for you in theory can be so high in fat and calories. I never would have thought these would be so crazy!
ReplyDeleteOh man! #6, #3 and #2 all are on my list of favorite restaurant foods. I guess if you think of it as a splurge even though its a salad its ok, as long as you don't think these salads are healthy options.
