At McDonald's: Premium Bacon Ranch Salad with Grilled Chicken
345 calories, 16.5g fat, 5.25g saturated
Bacon makes it seem naughty, but the portion keeps it nice -- if you use only half the dressing.
At Wendy's: Mandarin Chicken Salad with Grilled Chicken Fillet
385 calories, 18g fat, 2.25g saturated
Almonds supply lots of crunch, so nix the noodles and use half the Oriental dressing.
At Burger King: Tendergrill Chicken Garden Salad
390 calories, 20g fat, 4.5g saturated
Three cheeses and garlic croutons -- yum! Just opt for the light Italian dressing.
At Taco Bell: Chicken Fiesta Taco Salad
420 calories, 16g fat, 5g saturated
Say adios to the tortilla shell and this cheesy bowl becomes a safe bet.
At Quiznos: Black & Bleu Flatbread Salad
340 calories, 10g fat, 5g saturated
Skip the flatbread, and this stick-to-your-ribs salad (steak and blue cheese!) gets a thumbs-up.

Don't know if this counts as "fast food" but Panera's Thai Chopped Chicken Salad (full size) only has something like 380 calories (with NO modifications!!) and if you get the apple on the side, you have a delicious, healthy, and filling lunch for only 460 cals!0

That salad is my favorite salad. I usually eat it without the salad dressing and it still tastes so good~ If I could afford going there every day, I would!
Thank you all for different places to get a salad. It really helps if I am out and have to pick something up.0 -

Are the calories quoted as served, or with the modifications you've recommended?0 -
Well those calories are ok but has anyone checked the sodium? Those numbers will scare you and use up most of your daily numbers in one sitting0

I get the grilled chicken ceasar salad, no dressing. It's full of flavor, even for having no dressing.0

I know and im sorry, but it is true that none of them are good for you. Yes it is better then getting a burger but still not good for you.0

Wendy's has a new salad with apples on it instead of the mandrin orange. It's supposed to be less calories. Also they now have 1/2 size salads if you want.0

At both Burger King and McDonald's (don't know if other places offer it), you can get the side salad ($1) and add grilled chicken ($2). Both good options if needed.0
