Salads can be extremely deceptive. While they may look colorful, healthy, and full of all the right ingredients, it might actually be worse for you than a meal at McDonald's.
That's right: there are salads at some of your favorite chain restaurants that are even worse than a Big Mac and fries--just to be clear, a Big Mac plus one large fries is about 1,040 calories and 1,160 milligrams of sodium. Yikes!
