At Wendy's...
Yums Up! Order the Mandarin Chicken Salad without the almonds, noodles or dressing and it's only got 190 calories and 3g of fat. (Almonds are healthy but they do add lots of fat & over 120 calories to this particular salad.)
Salad Schmalad! The Taco Supremo salad is one to watch out for. It packs in 670 calories and 32g of fat! (If you avoid the chips and sour cream, you can turn it into a much healthier choice!)

At McDonald's...
Surprisingly, there are many good choices at Mickey D's. Here are some of our picks:
Fruit 'n Walnut Salad -- If you eat this baby as is, it has 310 calories & 13g of fat. That's slightly high in fat, but walnuts are good for you. However, if you order it nut-free and have it with yogurt instead, it'll only have 170 calories and 1g of fat. (Granted, a Fruit & Walnut Salad with yogurt instead of walnuts isn't really a Fruit & Walnut Salad, but it's healthy and delicious!)
Grilled Chicken California Cobb -- A cobb salad with only 260 calories, 11g of fat & 7 net carbs? Not bad! But make sure you get the grilled chicken, not the crispy. That mistake will cost you over 100 calories, 10g of fat & 12 net carbs! Yeowch!
Grilled Chicken Bacon Ranch -- This one sounds more dangerous than it actually is. It has only 240 calories, 9g of fat & 8 net carbs. Chew freely!
Grilled Chicken Caesar - With 200 calories, 6g of fat & 7 net carbs, we say "Caes" the moment!

Salad dressing, most of the time, is NOT your friend. More often than not, it's a fatty nightmare. Sometimes there are more calories in the dressing packet than there are in the entire salad! Some dressing packets at Jack in the Box have up to 390 calories and 41g of fat (at that rate, Jack's gonna need a bigger box)! So read the nutritionals carefully on all packets. And when using dressing, dip -- don't pour!
