I also live in Europe and also in my experience healthy salads are often an available choice. However, "salads" are often tricky, because the calorie count can go up very fast (eggs, cheese, side bread, crumbles, etc.), while thinking of eating "only a salad"
- nomorewords 3y agoEh, when you say a salad in Europe, there's a 90-95% chance that its only dressing is olive oil (and not much of it, just for the texture) and not heavy stuff like ranch or french dressing.
- Aerroon 3y agoA teaspoon of olive oil is 120 kcal. 3-4 teaspoons is the calorie content of a meal. That's the equivalent of a liter of soda.
- sgdpk 3y agoI think you mean table spoon, which is often enough dressing for one person, in my experience.
- Aerroon 3y agoYou're right.
- oliveoilchugger 3y agoA teaspoon is 5ml. At 0.92g/ml and 9kcal/g that would mean about 40kcal per teaspoon.
- nomorewords 3y agoSure, but the rest of the stuff (in what I consider salad base - tomatoes, cucumbers, maybe peppers?) is really small so it doesn't matter. A greek salad has cheese, yeah, that's a high calorie input but you don't eat much of it
- bojan 3y agoIf you buy it in a supermarket, the calorie count is always given on the packaging.
