This Week's 3 Things to Know
Is your salad more fattening than a burger? Survey says...
We always tell you that salads aren't necessarily the smartest options on the menu, and new data backs us up. Computer analysis from Noom (a digital health coach app) compared quick-service salads to fast-food burgers and found that the salads are often higher in calories than the burgers! Wendy's Spicy Chicken Caesar Salad, for example, has 720 calories, while a Burger King Whopper has 630 calories. Researchers also pointed out that restaurant salads marketed as healthy sometimes contain more calories than ones sold at fast-food chains. Get
some solid salad advice here, and always check the nutritional info!

order through Amazon. Trust us... You'll be glad you did!
