    Make your own if you can, but if you are on the run I really like the McDonalds SouthWest Grilled Chicken Salad. It has 320 calories, the dressing is another 100. Honestly I only use half the dressing and it is plenty. The salad is so flavorful I do not think you will miss the dressing at all.

    The McDonalds salads are surprisingly low in calories. Go to their website and check it out. :)

    But the sugar and bad fat content are horrific!! Low cal doesn't always mean good for you :wink:

    I make my salads up and take them in to work with me. That way I know exactly what is going in to them xxx

    There are days where bringing lunch just is not practical. On those days I usually go to Wendy's and get the Apple Pecan Chicken salad. It is very large and some days I can get two meals out of it. If you leave off the pecans (I use only half), and only use 1 packet of dressing, the salad comes in at about 520-540. I scrape off the blue cheese but have never took the time to measure it to find the calculations without it. As everybody already mentioned, it is all the add-ons to the salad. I like that salad and after taking off the higher fat blue cheese and pecans, you are left with a healthy salad...lettuce, grilled chicken, apples, cranberries, and one packet of dressing (60 calories, 3g fat).

    You know what's good at Wendy's? Get a side salad and a cup of chili and pour the chile over the salad and don't mess with the dressing and ditch the croutons. It's very tasty.


    Mmmm sounds yummy :)

    I heart Wendy's chili. $1.07, 130 calories, and it makes me feel full. Also, try doing salads totally without dressing. You'll be pleasantly surprised. God put delicious flavors into the veggies. No need to cover them up!
