Good health news is now in vogue for fast-food chains to offer multiple salads in your menus. The bad news is that the dressings and other accessories can send these salads into calorie overload and fats. But the other good news is that several chains have tasty and reduced healing of fat salad. All you have to do is know which salads - and what extras - to ask.
Fat Loss Salads - Healthy-Fast-Food-Salads
Here are some ways to ensure that your fast-food salad is healthy:
- Go to chains that offer reduced healing or bring your own. For example, McDonald's has low-fat balsamic vinaigrette, and Wendy's has creamy ranch with fat, french without fat and fat honey mustard. Example: Half a McDonald's Regular Ranch Clip pack adds 145 calories and 15 grams of fat for your salad. Half of a balsamic vinaigrette pack from McDonald's low-fat, add 20 calories and 1.5 grams of fat.
- Do not use any package of sauce! Half a package is very. Example: Using only half a Jack package in the lite lite sauce from the carton will save 95 calories, 9 grams of fat and 350 mg sodium.
- Choose salads with dark green lettuce, which offers more vitamins, minerals and phytochemicals. Example: Caesar Wendy side salad includes a darker green lettuce.
- Choose salads with colorful vegetables like tomatoes, peppers, shuted carrots or cabbage. Example: Wendy side salad, with crushed carrots and cherry tomatoes, has 3 grams of fiber.
- Add beans, nuts and seeds to a filling salad with extra protein and fiber. Example: 1/8 Cup of renal bean adds 26 calories, 2 g of protein, 2 g of fiber and .1 grass fat; 1.8 Cup of sunflower seeds adds 98 calories, 4 g of protein, 1 g of fiber and 8 g of fat.
- Make your salad another meal adding lean meat or seafood. Example: The subway has seven salads with less than 6 grams of fat and most lean meat features. Its roasted chicken breast salad (not including dressing) has 140 calories, 16 grams of protein, 3 grams of fat and 3 grams of fiber.
- Make sure any meat you add is baked or grilled, not fried. Order "crispy" will cost you - about 100 calories and 9 grams of fat per portion. Example: The grilled version of McDonald's chicken chicken ranch salad (not including dressing) has 270 calories and 13 grams of fat, while the crunchy version has 370 calories and 21 grams of fat.
- Check out the nutritional analysis to help you make the best salad choices. Remember that restaurant sites or leaflets usually do not include gravy - which is listed separately.
- Before you throw crunchy pasta and crunchy croutons, find out what these additions are worth - some add minimal calories and fat. You can also use half the package. Example: Half of a crunchy rice noodle package that come with Wendy's Mandarin chicken salad adds 30 calories and 1 gram of fat.
- Keep in mind that following these tips can make a huge difference nutritionally. Example: A crunchy chicken ranch salad of a regular ranch adds up to 660 calories and 51 grams of fat, while a grilled chicken caesar salad with half-low fat balsamic vinaigrette packet has only 230 calories and 9 grams of fat. Do this every day for a week and save more than 3,000 calories and almost 300 grams of fat!
Side salads are almost always poor in fat and calories - as long as you do not overdo the dressing and avoid fatty extras such as cheese. Here are some choices for healthy main course salads:
