You might think so, but the truth is they are not always. Surprisingly a silent complete with dressings and toppings more often than not contains more calories and fat than most traditional fast food choices.
A typical Caesar salad for instance can easily reach 500kcals and around 30g of fat. This is actually very close to the amount of calories and fat you would find in a small burger and chips.
So you’re winning if you have a flame grilled chicken salad without dressing, but if you add the dressing you add another 70kcals and a further 6g of fat.
Mind you if you decide to eat out by going healthier with a salad, watch out you don’t get tempted into the burgers and fries instead. I’ve done it myself.
