    Not gonna lie, this isn’t that bad. Especially if the dressing you drench them in is fatty instead of carby

      When I was losing weight, I learned it’s salad dressing that adds the calories. That shit has a lot of sugar.

      Just about everything at the salad bar is okay. Try to have more green than meat. Cheese should be sparse. Harder cheeses are better than soft (e.g. cheddar is better than blue cheese).

      If you need to cut the bitterness in the salad, try a few hits of Tabasco or oil and vinegar mix.

        I bought some sugar free ketchup and it was so nasty. Doesn’t taste right on anything.

        So I went back to regular ketchup.

          Sugar-free ketchup has artificial sweeteners. I generally don’t trust anything that’s labelled sugar free because of that.

          If you’re trying to lose weight, skip the ketchup if you can. Replace it with something not as sugary. If you’re using it to dip your fries, well, the fries are going to get you more than the ketchup but even changing out the ketchup for malt vinegar (a la Five Guys) will help.

    A couple times a year I think about the man I watched pour the most dressing I’ve ever seen used in a single serving. He made a comment about healthy eating.

    I still wonder if I should’ve said something just in case he truly had no idea eating more ranch than greens for lunch does not mean you’ve had a salad.

    That looks like an illustration from a 1950s cookbook. Mystery meat, shredded stuff, crinkle-cut discs, quartered boiled eggs, all in Kodachrome. Yummy! (I would eat it.)

    My gawd - those hard boiled eggs are beyond overdone. Probably smells like a sulphur factory in there.
