You probably do, but you don't count the calories, and instead of everything being in the salad, you have a few ingredients outside (bread, nuts, cheese, whatever).

Salads being a healthy, low-calorie thing is an idiocy; it's only possible if you don't use any dressing, and at this point you are only eating crunchy water. Otherwise, the oil in the dressing is over 800 kcal per 100g. Most people will put the equivalent of 50-70g of bread just as dressing in their salad. It's mostly fat and not filing.

In other words, it's extremely dumb to think salads are healthy; only fat women believe that shit and this is exactly why they end up like this.

First Americans invented how to ruin salads with dressings, now they are complaining that dressings make salads less healthy. Whew, how ironic.

I'm not American; I'm French. We invented the vinaigrette, and I have worked at quite premium restaurants. You are just clueless, and it's not even worth explaining.

Salad is a stupid meal for rich people to feel superior. It's wasteful and plain stupid. And if you are actually a worker (or someone who needs to be physical), you are ingesting the wrong type of calories. But that's the whole point. It's not sustainable for a worker; thus it is a class signifier.

Buddy, 100g of olive oil is like 7 tablespoons. Not even Americans put that much on one salad.

I have premium French dressing in my fridge. It's 483 kcal/100g. The recommended serving size is 2 tablespoons, but most people actually put in at least 3. That's about 20-30 g of vinaigrette. In other words, it's about 150 kcal just for the vinaigrette, or about 50g of bread.

You are an idiot, I'm not your buddy, go fuck yourself.
