As a general rule, you really can’t go wrong eating leafy greens.

If you might limit yourself to only a single teaspoon (and who can, really?
), you’re adding about 35 calories to your meal.
Not only does your waistline pay the price, your heart does, too.
And let’s not forget we all learned thatprocessed meats like bacon were found to cause cancer.
Many croutons can also contain high levels of sodium.
Many can add around 200 calories per serving, with 180 of those coming from fat.
And that’s if you only have one serving.
Most people tend to add two or three servings to their salad.
Unfortunately, the term “crispy” is generally code for fried.
It kind of defeats the purpose.
Stick with grilled chicken instead.

take a stab at stick to salads that are a reasonable portion.
That way it’s easier to judge how much you’re putting in your body.
If you need double the dressing to fork it down, then you’re doubling those calories, too.
