I'm not even surprised. Check out Red Robin!

Not surprised. With some fast food places, a bacon cheese burger is a healthier option than their salads.

Totally not surprised. My fav salad I used to order at Earls is the hot garlic chicken cesear. it is almost 1200 cals! Needless to say I don't eat there anymore. Most items on the menu are more than half my days calories.

We had friends over on Sunday and were looking for a place to eat. Milestones is pretty nice but when I checked their menu on line I decided to skip it. I love a good salad and I have no idea how they can manage to make their salads so hi-cal. We went for sushi instead - which also has its pitfalls but at least I can combine foods that don't add up to my entire day's limit :happy:

Like everyone else, i'm not surprised. When i do salad at a restaurant, i usually order the ceaser with a piece of whatever grilled fish they happen to have on the menu (A fave is mahi mahi). Dressing on the side. I have yet to have a restaurant say they can't do that for me.

Those salads with cheese, avacado, dressing, etc will kill you every time.

yeah most restaurant dressings are 300 calories plus. You can get some single serving packs of dressings to take on the go, they really cut down the calories significantly.
