Rakul Preet Singh warns about calorie-heavy salads

Rakul Preet Singh recently talked about how salads from restaurants might not be as healthy as people think.

She said that these salads can have lots of calories because of the nuts, cheese, and oil they use.

A dietitian named Kanikka Malhotra explained that just a little bit of oil, nuts, or cheese can add a lot of calories to a salad.

For example, one tablespoon of oil has about 120 calories, and a small handful of nuts has around 180-190 calories.

So, a salad from a restaurant can have as many as 500-800 calories, especially if it has creamy dressing, croutons, or fried toppings.

The dietitian suggests asking for less dressing, fewer nuts, and grilled instead of fried protein to make the salad healthier.

She also recommends choosing foods in their natural form and limiting added oil, sugar, and salt.
