I always cook in olive oil. My salads usually consist of iceberg lettuce and the dressing is not thinned out. I did ot know that. That's a good tip though. When I "fix up" my salad I but some bell pepper and a little cheddar or jack cheese. Since I do CAD and not CALP I do not balance my meal that much. I have protein and always a salad and some carbs. Maybe I need more veggies at lunch? What do you guys think?
