I can eat two double cheeseburgers in one sitting -- easy. But the McDonald's salad there has over twice as much FOOD as a single burger, and is only 30 calories more, with ranch dressing (terribly high-cal unless you go for the light or fat free version) included. All of the salads have better calorie/mass ratios except the taco salad, which is still just ordinary taco stuff in a different form and a little bit of lettuce anyway.

I can easily go through two burgers however in one sitting. Note: those delicious crispy noodles they add to them are horrendous for you. And the almonds/nuts would be good except that they're all salted. Frankly if you want to eat healthy make it at home and eat there or bring it with you. It'll cost less too!

I think the portion of a salad and the portion of a sandwich are both made to satisfy your hunger. A smaller salad would not be enough. And, <strong>yes</strong> the salad dressing is included. Sorry for missing that information in the first post. Hello, Palindrome! I think the portion of a salad and the portion of a sandwich are both made to satisfy your hunger.

If you just compare the weights of both items, the salads are considerably larger. Also, does salad info include dressing? Portion size!

I take mine with fries and a soda, you should add the calories on those as well. This seems kinda silly to me Who has just a burger?
