Ruby Tuesday has the greatest salad bar ever!! I don't even know what half the stuff on the bar is but it's apparent I was still making my salad correct. Good to know :)

Well it's a great thing I love my romaine and hate iceberg! But I agree with you Btone, sometimes you have to have the croutons.

It's a good article for people on a diet. But it's kind of telling you what to eat when you go to a salad bar. It's okay if you get Iceberg once in a while just make sure it's organic. Croutons are just too good to give up.

Well duh!! Just another stupid article,like we don't already know all of that info!! Please get some new and interesting articles. Chick peas are pretty low in fat and calories just like any other bean.

Croutons are impossible to give up haha! They are the best... And besides you can always use a good cold salad!

Wow I didn't think 3 bean salad was all that bad...I love it with beets. Of course I knew the crab salad I love is fattening lol.

My favorite salad bar is Sweet Tomatoes; they have the best variety (it even tops Ruby Tuesday!) and TONS of choices. You'll have an even more colorful and healthy salad if you follow the tips here and eat there. Yum!

I admit, i usually load down on bacon bits, croutons, and hardboiled eggs with lots of yolk. I always go light on dressing (ranch, burn me at the stake), but I usually feel good after I've had a salad, because even if I've taken in some calories, it's better than a greasy burger.

First of all, I don't like carrots much, don't like tomatoes or beets at all, and prefer iceberg lettuce to romaine. I am dang sick and tired of skinny vegetarians telling everyone what they need to do to be healthy. I've eaten bacon, ham, beef, and lots of sugar my whole life and I am in perfect health. The idiots who think they are gonna live forever by eating grass are the fools. No matter what people eat, they still grow old and die and tha's the bottom line. I would far rather live 70 great years than 80 miserable ones. Eat your weeds and sprouts, you fools. I'm eating steaks, chops, ribs, bacon, and all the doughnuts and beer I want to. Good luck on that immortality thing.

If you eat out all the time then I guess this is good stuff to know. But if you limit your trips to the restaurants to "special occasions" then you can indulge and not worry about what you order or get off the salad bar. Save the health worries for home.

You're right, chelester. Neither chickpeas nor kidney beans are fat free. They're both low in fat, though.

Go to Sweet Tomatoes resterants to obtain a good boost in the vitamins you need. When your retired and on afixed income, this hits the spot.

They forgot to talk about carbs. Chickpeas and kidney beans are very high in carbs which are not a good diet alternative.

Who cares if you're gonna indulge in a few croutons or Chinese noodles. As long as you have an overall, fairly-balanced diet, does it really matter if you add a bit more calories to your meal? Deprivation leads to disgusting body fat!
