As long as you're consuming less Calories than you burn, you can eat anything & still lose weight.

Eating fewer calories than you burn will help reduce weight. If eating a salad helps you do that, then eating a salad will help.

Even so, you want a reasonably sized deficit and enough protein and fat to be healthy.

Salad in and of itself does not reduce weight. Depending on how you make your salad, it likely has low calories and a high level of satiation. That might cause you to create a caloric deficit which will cause weight loss. Your diet however, eggs, toast, and salad seems like a terrible diet. The likelihood of you sticking to that long term seems extremely low. Also, unless the salad has some meat in it, you are likely not getting anywhere close to the amount of protein you need each day.

Eating in a caloric deficit is what helps.

Watch the serving sizes and calories in the salad dressings you use as some dressings contain a ton of fat and calories. Also watch your toppings. Change up your salads, adding lean protein and different types of fruit and veggies so you can hit your macro goals. Yes, salads are a great way to keep at a calorie deficit.

If the calories get you to your target it will work. You are getting your protein from your eggs in the morning so that is OK. The calorie load is in the dressings on your salad.

Boston Pizza salad can be 3,000 calories all on its own. It is loaded with dressing, cheese, dried fruit and nuts.

Eating less than you need helps you lose weight. It needn't be salad. It can be anything. But salads are a great way to eat a lot of food for very few calories, so they help you stay full while you're losing weight.

A good variety of healthy foods - especially fruits and veggies! - is a very healthy way to lose weight. You can only get so many of your vitamins and minerals from greens, you know?

I eat salad everyday for lunch but it has chicken and cheese and I use full fat dressing because it just taste better. Does it make you lose weight? No it's just a meal. You have to find what works for you. What makes you feel full what satisfied you. It's all personal preference
