Salads = Healthy? Not always

One of the biggest challenges I face when talking to clients about low calorie foods is the topic of salads. Sure, as a whole, salads are generally considered healthier. Lettuce is good for you, tomatoes are good for you. It's all that other crap that you put on a salad that makes it unhealthy and loaded with calories. Here's a great article from a regular article I see on Yahoo Health about unhealthy salads - looks like he writes for Men's Health. I see him fairly regularly on Yahoo Health and ALWAYS love his avoid-this lists because they come with great alternatives!

The unhealthiest salads in America

Do you really have a crush on one of the salads listed? A lot of your non-fast food type chains will prepare a half-portion for you. It doesn't hurt to ask. One thing I've learned from experience, is it is next to impossible to order the full portion and box up half of it (unless you get them to bring you the to-go packaging AND the salad at the same time).
