Over 1,000 calories for a salad?! Yes, that is the truth.
As the media and Hollywood portray skinny as the perfect body shape and beauty, healthy diets become a trend in recent years. However, the incredible ad may hire us from the truth. Most healthy diets include salad as part of the essential element and most of us keep this concept in mind. However, the truth is that salad with different toppings and salad dressing may obtain calories that are even more than the regular food.
Here are some examples:
Hardee's Southwest Chicken Salad
(1,100 calories, 83g fat, 1,910mg sodium, 59g carbs, 4g fiber, 6g sugars, 29g protein)
Bob Evans Chili & Cheese Taco Salad
(1,381 calories, 72g fat, 3,263mg sodium, 182g carbs, 23g fiber, 30g sugars, 42g protein)
For everyone who are interested on diet, please be careful and don’t be fooled by advertisement and media. Salad with vegetable is good for your health but it really depends on what is in it and the served portion.
