20 SALADS UNDER 300 CALORIES

Starting a weight loss journey can be an exciting yet challenging task.

The most difficult task in this journey is to figure out the best things to eat that shred some pounds.

Most people often turn to salads to achieve their dream weight goals, but unfortunately, most of them are packed with extra fat and calories.

Without proper selection and knowledge of salads, people can’t lose weight. Instead, they gain more pounds, leading to stressful situations.

So, for this reason, it’s important to be careful when eating clean and select salads with extremely low calories.

That’s why I have shared a collection of 30 salads under 300 calories to help you achieve your weight loss goals.

But before that, I’ve listed some salad rules for the perfect salad with low calories and tastes good.

So let’s have a look at them first.

The Rules of Salad Under 300 Calories

• You should use low-calorie ingredients like spinach, arugula, or kale as your Salad base.
• Your Salad needs to have a source of protein. Whether it’s meat, chickpeas, or nuts, adding protein will help keep you full.
• Avoid high-calorie ingredients like cheese, nuts, seeds, or dry fruits.
• It must contain plenty of low-calorie vegetables like tomatoes, cucumbers, bell peppers, carrots, etc.
• Your dress needs to be perfect. f the dressing sucks, your Salad will suck. So you should be picky about dressings.
