Are the salads in Mac donalds Healthy?

Question

I'm just curious

Answer 1

the salads themselves are pretty healthy, but the dressing makes it more caloric than a burger

Answer 2

i know hey i wanted to find out but the sneaky devils dont put any info on the packaging...

they taste like c**p though.

Answer 3

youd be better off making your own salad because then you actually know what your putting in your mouth..

macdonalds has a reputation for being unhealthy....so no...i dont think the salads are heathly

Answer 4

you know, McDonald's food isn't healthy, but salads are, but the chefs always spit in their food they give you so probably...

Answer 5

Nothing at McDonald's is healthy in my opinion. Even the fruit bags are probably deep fried.

Answer 6

yes..if they are grilled.

Answer 7

Yes, if you get them without a dressing.  With a dressing, you might as well just get on with it and stick a Big Mac down your cake hole.

Answer 8

Salads are. Fried chicken and dressings are not

Answer 9

I think not because they serve their salad with chemical dressings

Answer 10

They are high in calories, especially if the meat is fried.

Answer 11

In Australia, the salads do not have the heart foundation tick, which means they aren't a healthier alternative to salads in other stores. So, therefore, regular salad (straight from the garden) in healthier.

If McDonald's advertises all the healthy aspects of their salad, by law, it has to be true.

Answer 12

nothing at mcdonalds is...

but isn't better than the double cheeseburger.

Answer 13

it depends

it the dressing that makes it bad for you

the amount of calories in the ranch they can give you has the same calories as ordering a regular cheeseburger

so see if they have light versions

of just use your own light dressing from home

Answer 14

The Salads Are Picked Fresh!

Chicken Ceaser Salad - Mixed Salad Leaves, Cruncy Carrot, Mozzeralla Cheese, Crispy Chicken (100% Chicken Breast), Small Cherry Tomatoes.

The Salad Comes With A Ceaser Dressing Which Is In A Packet, So You Can Add None Or As Much As You Need.

Although It Does Contain Some Calories, You Have a Choice To Add Or Without.

Hope This Helps!

Answer 15

The 'salad' part of it will be but the fried reconstituted chicken won't be. This always cracks me up - why would you go to a fast food company that is well known for selling trashy food and order a salad. Don't you just love McD's!!!!

Answer 16

absolutely not. it even has higher calories than the bigmac i believe. Its actually the dressing and extra stuff they put into the salad that does this. you can't really go there and eat salad everyday to expect to lose weight. if you are trying to lose weight, running is the best way. Start off at a short distance, run 1 mile constantly. Then slowly increase your mileage everyday. You will barely notice you added more miles. When people say to lift weights and everything like that, you are most likely to quit. It doesn't keep the adrenaline rushing as much since you aren't as active. And you are closer to a source of food and so you give yourself "prizes." You should try to run at least four miles in a day by the end of the month. Never skip days. I ran everyday that if I even tried to slip a day it felt like I was sinful. I lost 50 lbs in three months when I started to run in January of this year, in time for my trip to Greece in March with my high school. Then, once you lose that belly fat you can try getting abs. For food, keep portions small. Just decrease your portion sizes slowly so your body can't adjust. I get really full eating half of what I usually eat now. And don't drink soda. Diet Pepsi is not an option. Drink more water since it helps you get full faster. Juices should be limited too because of their sugar content. Other than that, if you are eating fast food everyday change it, but don't get rid of it altogether. Try decreasing it to every other day then every two days, then every three days, until you get to having it once  a week. Then get rid of it. What I noticed was portion size helped more than tracking healthy foods. The only reason you should avoid fast food is because there is no control to the portion you receive and you are tempted to eat it. So if you are going to McDonalds just get the BigMac. It isn't as bad as the salad.

Answer 17

yes but while you buy a sald you will go back and buy a big mac its a trap.

Answer 18

I don't think so. If they're anything like burger king, they put stickers on the container of when it should be sold by and once that time is up they rip off the stick, pick out the bad lettuce, but some good lettuce in and put a new sticker on it and sell it.

Answer 19

Its McDonalds, and they have the same qualities of salads at other fast food resurant, the meat they put in them is not good for you though

Answer 20

without the dressing yes and without the fried chicken. you are better off eating a plain hamburger or fajita from there than the salads with fried chicken and dressing

Answer 21

probably not

Answer 22

They aren't lethal, but they salad dressing makes it come close to McD's fatty foods what cholesterol is concerned.

Answer 23

sure if you don't put any dressing your fine... just like all salads can be healthy... no dressing and or make your own dressing.... light dressing may sound healthy cuz it says light/ lite but ppl tend to put more of light cuz its light.... hahaha its funny! but yea all salads any where can be healthy... just no dressing and make sure the chicken is not fried and or if you got to pick steak and other types of meat get chicken...

Answer 24

Yeah they are without the fried chicken though

Answer 25

no

Answer 26

Yeah, those salads are healthy. Until you put dressing on them.

Answer 27

nope
