    Ok so this kit has 3 servings. I'm guessing if i toss everything in the dressing and cruton/cheese pack that i'd be getting 15 calories. If i eat the crutons and cheese maybe another 165?

    That's what it looks like! Amazing, isn't it? You can eat a ton of salad or an ounce of dressing for the same calorie cost!

    I bought a different brand because it was on sale. My normal bag is like 350 to 400 cal. with is 520. Little differences add up. Logging is very cathartic. My 1800-2100 cals of food weights like 5 lbs vs 1 big mac meal. Crazy.

    I absolutely love their apple walnut chicken salad bowl but I usually dump it on top of a large serving of lettuce and stir it up so their delicious dressing hits all corners.

    Check their stir fry kits, too. I add dry-browned chicken. Their teriyaki sauce isn’t high cal,
    But sometimes I substitute a little honey-ginger balsamic to cut it further. The whole bag is only about 70 without the sauce, fresh, and doesn’t have that chemical/irradiated taste a lot of bagged salads and greens have.

    Ps:
    Their stir fry kits are in a separate location in most groceries my Lidl and Kroger have them in a completely different area than the Taylor salad bowls.

    Just had the Taylor Farms Mediterranean Crunch salad with browned chicken on top.

    Half a bag + half the accompaniments +7 oz chicken was 428 calories. (I cut my chicken into small strips and brown it in a hot, dry pan with a little season salt. No oil.)


    It was delicious! Nutritious! And took all of five minutes to make.

    It’s definitely going in the rotation.

    Ive got the other half for lunch tomorrow. O, Happy Day!! 😃

    @trixsterjl31 I am originally from Buffalo so I am all about Franks and Buffalo Sauce. My Superbowl treat was making Buffalo Cauliflower, which was roasted cauliflower with an almond flour coating smothered in Franks. Sounds healthy, but I realized after the fact Franks is really high in sodium, and that nearly cup of Franks got me up over 4000mg sodium for the day. Be aware that a tsp of Franks has 190mg of sodium vs. staight Tabasco which has 35mg/tsp. I'm going to start playing around with making a Franks sustitute (Cayenne Red Peppers, Distilled Vinegar, Water, Salt and Garlic Powder) but cut way back on the salt to see if I can land on something with a similar flavor without the high sodium kick.
