McDonald’s Kale Salad Might Make You Fatter Than A Big Mac Would

McD-Keep-Calm-Salad

Last year, McDonald’s added the Keep Calm, Caesar On salad to boost healthier options on their menus. Unfortunately, the kale-boasting salad isn’t exactly as healthy as it appears to be.

According to CBC, you’ll probably be better off chowing down on a Double Big Mac (a Big Mac with four patties found in Canada) than the salad. The Caesar salad featuring kale, chicken, bacon, parmesan and croutons has more cons than you think.

A side-by-side comparison between the two items reveals that the salad had more calories, sodium and fat than the fast food burger. CBC includes a detailed graphic comparing the dishes. The only thing Canada’s Double Big Mac featured more of, per serving, was protein.

You can still get the most out of the Caesar kale salad, however, by just cutting back on the fatty dressing and nix the cheese and bacon. So all the tasty stuff.

It’s OK though, we don’t go to McDonald’s for the salads.
