Hey, getting bored before you get full is a legitimate strategy!
I half kid, I eat salad a bunch, but it needs to be dressed and will include a protein of some kind.7 -
Where do you get your protein from? While salad can certainly be a good meal, having that is a "lifestyle" would certainly lead to protein deficiency and muscle loss.11

Not for me. I eat a large amount of salads with anything from just dressing to chicken or steak and other veggies in it, but I would never, ever be able to eat enough veggies only salad (going by the pic) to keep me satisfied.8

That and that^^7 -
My salad barely fits in a 3quart mixing bowl and then I generally have about a pound of fish with it.6

salad is the food that my food eats.16

Salad is very good but we need at least 2 oz of protein at every meal because the brain needs a steady stream of amino acids. Those are the building blocks to make mood-steady and brain healing serotonin. Plus, protein for the brain cuts the risks of brain aging.18

What that salad needs is some steak. Yup, 120ish grams of tri-tip would make that salad fit my macros perfectly.5

I love salads in the warmer months! My go-to at Panera is the strawberry poppyseed with chicken but its only available a few months a year. In the winter I crave warm foods so salads like this don't get it done for me.
A note about the lifestyle .... I actually have tried to make it a lifestyle lately. I love to support local farming, and I have started to grow my own herbs, and my boyfriend grows a lot of veggies. So I have been making an effort to add into my weekends trips to the farmers market, and definitely am enjoying the gardening aspect with my boyfriend. Then when we go to make the salads it feels like we have really put our heart and soul into them and it is a type of indulgence I have not experienced with food up till now. I'm really loving it

oh, also .... I really am not a fan of most vegetables, so this is helping me slowly learn to appreciate them more and maybe even one day like the taste of them!2

Definitely, salad on its own is not sufficient to cover your daily nutrients.
Salad is a very important meal among other 4 meals full of different nutrients.
Usually, i eat egg whites,chicken breast and fish for protien 🍗🥚🐟.
Also, Brown rice and brown toast as a source of carbohydrates🍞🍚
I tend to drink 2-3 liters of water along my day.
The point is i really appreciate a good bowl of salad with some dressing or seasoning on it 🥗.

I love how versatile a meal based around a salad can be. The majority of the time I just enjoy it a variety of ways as a more nutritious dish. Other times, I'll load it up for maximum enjoyment. Whether someone pictures "salad" as just a bowl full of greens, or an all out fiesta, it's certainly a great way to fill some holes in the weekly menu.1 -

You're speaking my language! I have an enormous salad every single day for dinner. Sometimes I switch a few things around with it but it's mostly the same. I never get tired of it. Yes that is a mixing bowl, ha ha. Yum!

I'm not a veggie/vegan and never eat only a salad.
However, I eat a lot of fruit and veggies w/my MEAT. So, it's not like there's nothing green on my plate.1 -
The salad photos look amazing! I also eat a mixing bowl of salad almost every night for dinner and never tire of it. So good!2

Hi, I can't believe I can say this now but I too appreciate a good salad. I eat a salad every day for lunch and sometimes I even have one for breakfast. I add salmon or tuna to it. I will start adding chicken to it. I just started putting in some chia seeds. What is that light orange item in your salad? Sweet potato? Do you make your own dressing? I have been wanting to for some time but have not yet. I want to make one that is healthy and easy to put together. Been using the Olive Garden Light dressing.2

Hey, i just wanted to thank you so much for your support .
As per your question the orange element is carrots 🥕.
You can add 2 drops of extra virgin olive oil and a few drops of vinegar to it .
I also add a spray of cumin and salt on the top for seasoning 👌🏻.
