Kale salad more calories than double burger?

[Jack 855]

Be careful what you eat at ANY fast food place.

Here's surprising news: That marvelous Kale salad at McDs is facing this report:

"On its chicken salad contains "real parmesan" cheese petals and a "nutrient-rich lettuce blend with baby kale." These ingredients may sound wonderfully healthy, but topped with creamy Asiago Caesar dressing on its crispy chicken version, the salad loses its appeal.

The salad contains more than 730 calories, 53 grams of fat, and 1,400 milligrams of salt, according to McDonald's nutritional information.

If you ever thought "healthy fast food" was actually healthy, think again.

Though Vitamins and can be easily added to a Breakfast wrap or sandwich for an extra crunch.

On its website, McDonald's boasts that the "Keep Calm, Caesar On" chicken salad contains "real parmesan" cheese petals and a "nutrient-rich lettuce blend with baby kale." These ingredients may sound wonderfully healthy, but topped with creamy Asiago Caesar dressing on its crispy chicken version, the salad loses its appeal.

The salad contains more than 730 calories, 53 grams of fat, and 1,400 milligrams of salt, according to McDonald's nutritional information.

As a point of comparison, someone would have to eat three traditional McDonald's hamburgers to consume about the same number of calories. A Double Big Mac contains about 680 calories, 38 grams of fat, and 1,340 milligrams of salt.

The American Heart Association recommends eating just 2,000 milligrams of sodium and 1,200 to 1,500 calories per day

MCD's double cheeseburger was my go to pacifier. I still have one every 2-3 months. I think I'll leave the Kale for you

Just because it is a salad doesn't mean it's healthy, anymore than labeling something "natural" doesn't mean it's safe.

And, as someone on another thread noted, just because you put it in a bowl and call it salad doesn't make it a salad.
