If you are proud of the fact that you have been eating salad for dinner for several weeks in a row, we hasten to disappoint you. If there are a lot of green leaves on the plate, this does not automatically make the dish low-calorie and healthy. There are types of salads, the calorie content of which reaches 400 kcal per 100 grams! So if you "sit on salads" and do not lose weight, check that there are no "forbidden" ingredients in it.

New York-based nutritionist Bridget Zeitlin lists what should not be in salad for those who lose weight.

Fried protein products

These include fried chicken, beef, seafood and even tofu. And if you did not fry them yourself, but bought semi-finished products in the store, they will probably contain too much salt and added sugar. The output is steamed tofu, grilled chicken or shrimp.

Crispy noodles, tortillas, croutons

These ingredients are the same as chips. For crunch, you can add almonds, sesame or pistachios. Store-bought croutons have a lot of added salt and artificial flavors.

Cream dressing

Fat sour cream, mayonnaise, honey-mustard dressing - in a couple of tablespoons almost 200 kcal! Such a salad can hardly be called dietary, especially if we are talking about store-bought mayonnaise or Caesar sauce.

Low-calorie dressings

What did they do? Now you can find many "light" dressings in stores, they really contain less fat, but too much salt and sugar to be considered healthy.
