A Salad Is More Than A Sandwich

Usually, when you think of a salad for lunch you’re thinking at a low-calories meal, but that’s not true for McDonald’s salads. A fast-food salad had more calories, more fat, more carbs and more sugar than a regular fast-food sandwich.

If you compare calories, fat, carbs, sodium and sugar from one salad (dressing included) and one regular sized sandwich (or burrito) from the same fast food, using just the nutritional information provided by the restaurants you can see the difference for yourself.

So is fast-food salad a “diet meal”? You should judge everything you eat by the nutrition info and not by its reputation.
