I went to McDonalds today....

[DISNEYFANRI]

Had one of the "new" salads - chicken caesar - ate the whole piece of chicken and 1/2 of the salad - will finish the rest at dinner tonite.
Since my goal is to eat sensibly and all foods in moderation I guess I am doing all right.....

Get the Lite Balsamic dressing Barb. It's very good and only like 50 calories, with little fat.

The salad was very good - tasted very fresh - I sliced boneless barbacued chicked (1/2 breast) over the rest of ths salad and had it for dinner.

Good for you, Paula!!!! I still haven't tried one of those salads yet, but it's nice to know they are tasty in case I am facing a fast food choice!

Don't you love it when you come out of a fast food restaurant after eating healthy! I always feel like "Yeah, I did it!".

Thanks for letting us know they were good. I have been staying away from McDonalds because they really didn't have that many good choices for low point healthy food.

I will have to try it now. I am sure my family will be happy!

Does anyone know calorie/fat content of the salads at McDonald's?

Thought some of you might want these. Just a heads up to be careful with some of these salads and their dressings.

Thanks for the point info ... man you really gotta watch those dressings! We're on vacation next week so I'm sure a trip to McD's will be mandatory!

I have a MacDs brekkie sometimes - hold the hash browns and muffins, double scrambled eggs and sausage with black coffee and a bottle of water - good old Atkins
