are salads from mcdonal'ds bad for you if your on a diet like weight watcher's?

Question

how many points for a grilled chicken salad from mcdonald's with ranch?

Answer 1

Some of the salads have more fat than fries/burgers due to the dressings!

Answer 2

no they're not
just remember you can have anything you want while your on weight watchers. it just has to be in moderation. there is not much in the salad that is going to affect your diet. carrots and cheese maybe. the worst thing is the dressing read the nutritions fact on the packet(yes there are nutrient facts on their tiny packets - they're obligated to have them) it's the calories in the dressing that will affect your diet

Answer 3

Go here to find nutrition info: http://www.mcdonalds.com/usa/eat/nutrition_info.html

There are different chicken salads, so it depends on which one. But ranch has a lot of fat - use the low fat balsamic vinaigrette instead.

Answer 4

My advice, get off of a weight watcher's diet, and start learning about fat loss.

Conventional diets where calories are low are not very effective at all for losing fat.

Also remember that weight loss is not the same thing as fat loss.

Tom Venuto books&articles are great.
Any information by Dr. John Berardi is outstanding as well.

Answer 5

yes, once you add the calories that come along with it (dressing/meat) the McDonald's salads have about as many calories as their calorie-high burgers.

Answer 6

yes. everythign there is bad, you might as well have a hamburger, the salads are just as bad.

Answer 7

if you have to eat their salad - do not touch the dressing!!!

Answer 8

the dressing is the fatest part.just avoid the dressing
