Has anyone had any great Fast Food Salads? I am addicted to the McDonalds Grilled Chicken Bacon Ranch. It is fabulous!

I like Wendy's Chicken BLT salad. I've been buying 2 at a time, eating one, & refrigerating the other for the next day. I love salads!

I love salads too. I will have to try that one. Do you use their dressing, or use your own from home?

I like Wendy's BLT salad too but don't eat the dressing that it comes with - I take the salad home and have it with blue cheese. I wonder if they have other dressings I could ask for in substitute.. hmm.

McDonald's doesn't have the grilled chicken bacon ranch here (at least last time I was there) but I had the chicken caesar... trouble was they gave me a "light" caesar dressing and it tasted terrible ... nasty after enjoying the full fat dressings for so long.

(and do you notice how much more expensive the healthy choices are at these fast food joints??? really bugs me.. oh well, at least they are <i>giving</i> us the choices.... )

The only thing you have to watch out for with the McD's grilled chicken on their premium salads is the sodium. I found that they have too much salt for me (in the seasonings they put on the grilled chicken). I'm back to burgers and a side salad. Good luck on your LC journey!!!

Remember you can ask for a Nutrition Guide to check the carbs. Example.......Wendy's BLT is 10 (without dressing) minus the fiber of 4 = 6 and 4 grams of sugar. Sounds like a good deal to me until I get to the Taco supreme without the tacos is 29 minus 8 = 21 and 8 grams of sugar. Be careful of the dressings the best choices are Blue Cheese, Ranch and Caesar. The others are high in carbs and sugar.
I love all of their salads!

My fav is the grille chicken cobb at McD's Since it has plenty of blu cheese on it I dont use a dressing.The carb count is 11 the chicken even the grilled has 4 which means it has been infused -with sugar & spices But its often the best quick lunch around
