McDonalds salads healthy? Surely you jest!

Surprise surprise, McD's salads are just as unhealthy as their sandwiches, maybe even more so.

Subway, however, is healthy. I love love love their Veggie D'Light sandwiches, which basically amounts to stuffing all their veggie add ons into a sammich. So good, and healthy. I've lost 25 pounds and it has helped that if I need to grab something quick, I can get Subway.

McD & KFC taste like shit. Pizza Express make nice pizza's. Domino's & Pizza Hut are pretty dire. Subways are nice.

Actually no, they are healthy, provided you leave the dressing off the salad. The dressing is so full of fats and sugars you might as well could have taken a quarterpounder instead.

Yes.... but (other than me) who does that?

btw, I am not a McDonalds fan, I only eat McD when on the road as it is the only fast food restaurant close to the highways here. Burger King has okay products, though not all. I am not a pizza fan so no Pizza Hut or Dominos for me, I will eat them if there is nothing else but I just don't enjoy it as much. I like pastas, like Lasagna or Spaghetti. I also like kebabs, Shoarma (aka Shawarma), Falafels, kroketten (local fasfood), kaassoufle's, and Mexicano's.

But I usually just eat whatever I cook at home. I hardly ever eat fast food.

I don't feel very well today. I should go and get some fast food to make me feel better. I think if you're sick it really is good for you.

Counter intuition at it's best (or worst?).

Their chicken is extremely unhealthy too. Also any other additives like croutons, cheese, nuts. It all adds up. Take that away and you have something healthy, but it's just a bowl of wilting leafs and a couple of cherry tomatoes.

A real salad doesn't need all that stuff to make it delicious.

Cheese is not necesserily bad for you (except when you are lactose intolerant) you just have to watch the intake. Their Greek salad is actually quite good, as is their Tuna salad. Just avoid the dressing and the rest is fine.

The tuna salad here: Frisse slasoorten, tonijn, rode ui, sperzieboontjes, maïs, ei, olijven, cherrytomaatjes en een 1000-Island dressing. So lattuce, tuna, red onion, French beans, mais, egg, olives, cherry tomatoes, and 1000 island dressing.
