The Scary Truth About McDonald’s New Kale Salad – It has more calories than a Double Big Mac.
McDonald’s has introduced kale salad to its US menu – but the fast food giant’s health kick may not be quite as virtuous as you think it is.
For rather than offering a low-calorie, low-fat and low-sodium alternative, the leafy green combo actually contains more salt, fat and calories than a Double Big Mac.
Health experts say that while kale – which is full of useful vitamins – is in itself a good ingredient, once it appears alongside crispy chicken and an Asiago Caesar dressing, as it does in the “Keep Calm, Caesar On” chicken salad, it rockets up the cholesterol charts.
According to the McDonald’s nutrition centre, which is accessible via their website, the salad contains 520 calories, 31g of fat and 1,140 milligrams of sodium.
But when you add in the Asiago Caesar dressing, it rockets up to 730 calories, 53 grams of fat, and 1,400 milligrams of sodium – whereas the Double Big Mac rings in at 680 calories, 38g of fat and 1,340 milligrams of sodium.
According to CBC News, who spoke to Toronto-based dietician, Shauna Lindzon, it amounts to “a fat and sodium overload”.
“By eating that salad, you’re getting your sodium for the day,” she said. “Putting kale into the menu doesn’t mean you’re getting a healthy choice.”
You would have to eat the equivalent of three McDonald’s regular hamburgers to ingest the same number of calories, she said.
