Question:
Why are McDonalds Salads so fattening??
They have so much grams of fat...but they're salads..I don't get it...
Answers:
The ingredients used are the culprit. Lettuce, tomatoes, etc. do not have a lot of calories, but the croutons, fried in oil, the salad dressing(very fattening).....those are the things that make salads fattening. I have learned to stay away from restaurant prepared salads and make my own, with a dressing of herb vinegar and sunflower oil. Very tasty and a lot less calories than those salad dressings. I do not put croutons in my salad either, because they are calorie bombs. In chefsalads it's even worse because of the meat these restaurants use, the eggs have calories etc.etc.--it does add up.
