I learned a hard lesson tonight. From now on if I am going out to eat I will check the menu online and find out the nutrition facts before eating anything. Went out and had a salad, thought I did pretty well in my choice. Came home and found out there was over 900 calories in my salad! I was SHOCKED! Lesson learned the hard way.

Ugh I know it! Salads can contain lots of hidden calories & to be honest, I don't really eat salads unless I'm at home since I know what's in them. If I'm going out, although I do try to choose lower calorie entrees, I prefer to eat super light the rest of the day so I can enjoy being out & eat something besides a salad. That's just me, though.

I think when people hear "salad" they think it's immediately good for you. But what is put on the salad.... you might be better off just ordering that burger... you know? It's crazy to think a salad can be 900 calories. Yikes! Lessoned learned, tomorrow is another day. :)

FYI...if you have a Panera Breads near you...they have an amazing salad, Strawberry poppyseed W/ chicken...280 Calories, delicious! I heard of it on here the other day, had to get it 2 days in a row. Very good, kind of pricy, (8.50) but its a good size and comes with a side of bread or apple. I got the apple...lol. I think Im going to try to make it at home!

Tassycatt- That is my all time favorite salad! I could eat it everyday! Lis - you really should try it, it's amazing, can't remember if there is a panera up there or not, but regardless, you should definitely try it! :)
