Southwest Grilled Chicken Salad at McDonald's
Southwest Grilled Chicken Salad at McDonald's Good old Micky D's doesn't only serve up greasy, fried food. In fact, its salad menu has seriously stepped it up in recent years. So much so that Becky Kerkenbush, registered dietitian and media representative for the Wisconsin Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, occasionally orders from it. "McDonald's Southwest Grilled Chicken Salad has 350 calories, 11 grams total fat, 37 grams protein, 200 milligrams calcium (20 percent daily value), 6 grams fiber and 0 grams trans fat," she says. "The chicken (lean protein, iron) with salad blend and vegetable blend (fiber, vitamins, minerals, flavor), plus cilantro lime glaze (flavor) and shredded cheese (protein, calcium) is a satisfying combination." She sometimes adds a container of nonfat milk and apple slices to round out the meal.
