9 Salads (Calorically) Worse Than A Big Mac

When eating out, we tend to think we’re “being good” by ordering an entrée salad instead of a big, juicy burger. But many of those salads have an undeserved health halo, packing in more calories and saturated fat than the poster food for an unhealthy dinner: The Big Mac.
Still even with bacon bits, tortilla chips and calorie-laden dressings abounding on the salad column of the menu, it’s not a free pass to give into the temptation of a burger (and a side of fries). Salads, with their increased volume and satisfying crunch, have a higher satiety factor than many other foods, meaning that they tend to fill us up quicker and control appetite throughout the day, says Toby Smithson, R.D., community dietitian and spokesperson for the American Dietetic Association. “It’s fine to choose a salad, just watch what you’re putting in it,” she says. Her tips include:
1. Start with a base of dark, leafy greens, which are packed with vitamins and antioxidants.
2. Choose a salad heavy on plain vegetables. If you omit one of the higher-calorie ingredients, feel free to ask your waiter or waitress to load on more of the vegetables.
3. Be wary of add-ons like bacon, tortilla chips and even beans, which some restaurants prepare with lard (ask your server before ordering). Calorically speaking, regular nuts are better than candied ones and fresh fruit is better than dried.
4. Choose vinaigrettes over creamy dressings, which tend to have more calories and fat. Better yet, order your dressing on the side and do a fork dip: Dip your fork in the dressing before a bite instead of pouring the whole cup out onto your salad. And, “even though olive oil is the better choice, it doesn’t mean that you should have the whole bottle,” Smithson says. Each teaspoon is 45 calories, so use sparingly.
5. Not all fat is created equal. A bit of fat — from sources such as avocado or plain nuts — is healthy. So instead of focusing on the total fat content of a salad, look at saturated fat instead.
For a much-needed reality check, we scoured the nutrition facts of nine of America’s favorite chain restaurants (according to this survey from Nation’s Restaurant News) to find the salads that break at least one of these rules:

Restaurant Salads Worse Than Big Mac

The Telegraph
By: Stephen Adams
Many office workers buy the ready made salads and pasta bowls as a seemingly healthy lunch option, and they are particularly popular with women on diets.
But most contain the hidden danger of high salt levels, according to analysis by Consensus Action on Salt and Health (Cash), a charity.
Despite their healthy image, only six out of 270 examined have less salt than the 0.5g in a normal (34.5g) packet of Walker’s Ready Salted crisps.
One in 10 have more than the 2.1g contained in a McDonald’s Big Mac – giving those who consume them more than a third of their recommended 6g daily limit in one dish.
This is not the first time such salads have been attacked as unhealthy: last year a similar survey found that some contained more fat than a Big Mac.
Some of the saltiest are from upmarket high street cafes, which market themselves as selling fresh and healthy products.
The worst offender is from Eat., which calls itself the ‘Real Food Company’. Its Spicy Crayfish Noodles salad contains 3.51g of salt – making it more than 17 times saltier than Pret A Manger’s No Bread Tricolore, with 0.2g of salt.
The other saltiest salads from high street cafes and fast food outlets are Pret’s Super (Duper) Humous Salad (3.2g), KFC’s Zinger Salad with dressing (3.1g) and its Original Recipe Chicken salad with dressing (2.9g), and McDonald’s Crispy Chicken and Bacon Salad with dressing (2.6g).
But many supermarket salads are also high in salt. Among them, Marks & Spencer had seven of the 10 saltiest.
Top of the list was its Taste of Asia salad (2.83g), containing almost as much salt as six packets of crisps.
The Food Standards Agency (FSA) recommends adults eat no more than 6g of salt a day – about a teaspoonful – to minimise the risk of high blood pressure, stroke and heart disease.
Campaigners have managed to reduce the amount of ‘hidden’ salt in everyday products like bread, but say quantities in many fast foods are still much too high.
Professor Graham MacGregor, of the Wolfson Institute of Preventive Medicine, who is chairman of Cash, said: “It is absurd that only six salads contain less salt than a packet of crisps.
“Clearly the manufacturers still have a long way to go if we are to reduce our salt intake to 6g a day and save the maximum number of lives.
“Every gram of salt removed from our diet is estimated to prevent 6,000 deaths from heart attacks, heart disease and strokes per year, creating potential healthcare savings of £1.5 billion per year.”
Katharine Jenner, the charity’s campaign manager, added: “Many women choose salad as a healthy and convenient lunch, particularly when watching their waistline.
“Rather than feeling healthy, however, they often feel bloated and sluggish, symptoms of water retention which can be caused by the hidden salt in these salads.
“In the long-term the health problems are more serious, as salt intake is linked to osteoporosis and high blood pressure. Given the healthy image of salads it’s surprising to find that they contain such high levels of unnecessary salt.”
But Claire Hughes, an M&S nutritionist, said: “Unfortunately, Cash’s survey makes comparing salt levels in salads very confusing for consumers as their survey looks at different pack sizes.
“We want to make it as easy as possible for our customers to eat a healthy diet and we meet all of the FSA salt targets for salads. We always provide front of pack colour-coded labelling on our salads and are committed to continuing to review the salt in our products whilst still offering a broad range of cuisines for our customers to enjoy.”
A spokesman for Pret said: “While it can be tricky to reduce salt in products without compromising taste, we are committed to meeting the Food Standard Agency’s targets and are working hard to make reductions below those set out for 2012.
“At present we offer the salad with the lowest level of salt in the UK, while all of Pret’s food complies with the FSA’s current salt guidelines.”

Calorie Data to Be Posted at Most Chains

The health care bill signed into law Tuesday by President Obama is the nation’s most sweeping social legislation in four decades. But it also includes some smaller changes that will directly affect consumers.
These include taxes on indoor tanning services, requirements for restaurants to post calorie information and changes to flexible spending accounts.
Restaurants
There are 540 calories in a Big Mac and 670 calories in a Whopper. Nutritional information will be unavoidable when customers step up to the counter to order.
The health care law requires chain restaurants that have more than 20 locations to display calorie information next to the food item on the standard menu.
The Food and Drug Administration has the task of establishing more specific regulations and determining when these changes go into effect.
The health care law requires “succinct statement concerning suggested daily caloric intake” that are “posted prominently on the menu and designed to enable the public to understand, in the context of a total daily diet, the significance of the caloric information that is provided on the menu.”
Dr. Kelly Brownell, a Yale University psychology professor at the Rudd Center for Food Policy and Obesity, conducted research that found that consumers choose lower-calorie food when their menus contained caloric information and a statement that said “an average person consumes 2,000 calories a day.”
“A lot of people don’t know what it means to have 600 calories,” he said. “They have no context and the legislation requires that anchor statement.”
Nutrition facts would also be required to be posted on vending machine products and drive-thru menus. Temporary specials appearing on the menu for less than 60 days, condiments and test market foods are exempt.
“Consumers have the right to this info whether or not it makes a difference on the diet,” Brownell said. “But I believe the data will ultimately show that it does.”
The National Restaurant Association called the passage of the provision “a win for consumers and restaurateurs.” The Center for Science in the Public Interest, a nonprofit health advocacy group, praised its passage, calling it a “one of dozens of things we will need to do to reduce rates of obesity and diet-related disease in this country.”
In recent years, New York City and California have passed laws requiring nutritional information on menus.
Earlier this month, Panera Bread announced it voluntarily will post calorie information in all its locations by the end of 2010.
