I have to second what Melissa has to say. You can’t really go to a fast food joint and expect anything healthy. Support your local farmers and buy some fresh vegetables and make your own salads for the week (Which I do), or at the very least bring your own dressing and realize that no one owes you anything(even honesty); they just want your dollar.

if you just eat less for a long period of time you will lose weight.

Going to McDonalds for a salad is like going to a crack den for vitamins.

Those premium salads taste great, but they give you enough to feed three people. It would be nice to get a half-size salad that still has chicken on it, but then people wouldn’t pay $5 for them.

But those salads without toppings are gross. I’m guessing one of out maybe twenty fast food salad eaters doesn’t use the provided toppings.

To be fair, the majority of the fat and calories in those salads IS found in the dressing (and croutons, nuts, etc). If you’re intelligent enough to realize that and use those toppings sparingly or not at all, the salads really are a healthy choice.

There’s a website called Dotty’s Weight-Loss Zone (www.dwlz.com) that lists the Weight Watchers “points” for items at hundreds of restaurants, including fast food, and you can see that the salads (listed separately from the dressings and toppings) are considerably lower in “points” than the burgers and such you mention.
