Though McDonald’s
McDonald’s new Kale salad is the most outrageous offender, with more
calories, fat, and sodium than a Double Big Mac burger.

On its website, McDonald’s boasts that the “Keep Calm, Caesar On” chicken
salad contains “real parmesan” cheese petals and a “nutrient-rich lettuce
blend with baby kale.” These ingredients may sound wonderfully healthy, but
topped with creamy Asiago Caesar dressing on its crispy chicken version, the
salad loses its appeal.
The salad contains more than 730 calories, 53 grams of fat, and 1,400
milligrams of salt, according to McDonald’s nutritional information.
If you are planning on eating a salad from McDonald’s, there are other options
available that are less caloric. McDonald’s Southwest Salad only contains 280
calories and 490 milligrams of sodium, which includes a creamy southwest
dressing. And, for the truly health-conscious eater, a side salad without
dressing is only 15 calories and 10 milligrams of sodium.
