That Salad You’re Eating May Be as Healthy as a Big Mac

"I’ll just have a salad," we all say when we want to eat "healthy." But when is a salad not a salad? If you think choosing a salad over a Big Mac is a no-brainer, you might want to think again.

We all should be trying to make healthier food choices. For some it's going vegan, gluten free, carb free, or trying any number of a million diets. But, there was always one food choice that epitomized healthy eating. Salads! But, wait! You may want to reconsider that thinking, at least when it comes to these salads.

Some of your favorite salads may be worse for you than a Big Mac, check out a few that you may want to avoid.

• Applebee's Grilled Shrimp 'N Spinach Salad
• Chili's Quesadilla Explosion Salad
• IHOP's Crispy Chicken Cobb Salad With Grilled Chicken

Not that you shouldn’t eat them, everything in moderation, of course, just a reminder that things may not always be as they appear. Pass the Bacon Bits!
