salads | The Wildberry Patch

I have been eating fast food salads for the last month…sometimes twice a day.
And I have been losing weight.

But a meeting with a Personal Trainer got me wondering about those salads.

a star for each criterium met
<13g fat <4.5g sat fat <50mg cholesterol 3+g fiber <1000 g sodium There aren't many fast food salads out there that line up with the criteria that is set up in this article. The goal is 5 stars. Chick-Fil-A salads are NOT researched in this article - so I did that. Chick-Fil-A gives you the ability to build your meal and see the nutrition on the web page. http://www.chick-fil-a.com/Food/Meal#? To choose the Chargrilled and Fruit Salad, with Berry Balsamic Vinaigrette, it comes in as a 4 star salad...with only Cholesterol falling above the criteria - 55 instead of 50. 8g fat 4 g sat fat 55g cholesterol 790 sodium 34 carbs 4g fiber 22 protein 26 sugar If you want to make it even better...remove the salad dressing! Comparing Wendy's Berry Almond Salad to their nutrition counter at http://www.wendys.com/food/Nutrition.jsp, you realize that Wendy's Salads are WAY out of the criteria range! The PT was right...eating fast food salads is not good for you...but if youlive in a trailer like I do, and want to eat raw foods, but don't want them to rot in the frige...Chick-Fil-A is an option....a really GOOD option! Just - buyer beware! Thanks for joining me in this journey,
