A friend of mine really enjoys eating Cosi Ceasar salads every day for lunch. Now granted, he's a really skinny dude but he finally got around to checking out the nutrition facts. A chicken ceasar salad is what I would consider a 'safe' option if I were to eat out. Check out the following conversation we just had:

(17:09:47) mark: DOUBLE WHOPPER® With Cheese Sandwich 64g fat
(17:10:05) kipp: almost as much fat as a double whopper with cheese?

(17:10:29) mark: French Fries - King (Salted) 33g fat

(17:13:02) mark: i could have a medium or large fry and a whopper jr and have less fat and half the calories as this salad
I think a lot of the carbs in the salad are for the croutons. But still! That is a heck of a lot of fat and sodium especially just for one stupid salad.
