I'm sorry, but that is very clearly a style of cheesecake. You can't just call something "salad" when you want to eat cheesecake...

Because it's cheating. What stops me from tossing together bacon and cheese sticks and calling that a low carb keto salad? No, really, someone should stop me from doing that, I'm in my 40s now...

Nothing is stopping you but yourself. I just had some ice cream salad with Oreo croutons, it tasted healthy.

It's not cheating when everything is a salad: https://saladtheory.github.io/

It’s not cheating if you don’t call it cheating.

Serious answer: jello salad.

Edit: wait it really is pretzel salad. I thought that had to be a joke.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Just got home from a little get-together a few hours ago, can confirm.

[–] [email protected] 30 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Not gonna lie, this isn't that bad. Especially if the dressing you drench them in is fatty instead of carby

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yes. Only a wee bit cholesterol

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Dietary cholesterol being bad for you is a myth.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Cholesterol is a biochemical precursor to serotonin, among other things.

at least a fifth of that is vegetables so it's an improvement on the average diet

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

And very little of it is carbs

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

As long as you didn’t drench that in ranch it’d probably still be fairly healthy.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

When I was losing weight, I learned it's salad dressing that adds the calories. That shit has a lot of sugar.

Just about everything at the salad bar is okay. Try to have more green than meat. Cheese should be sparse. Harder cheeses are better than soft (e.g. cheddar is better than blue cheese).

If you need to cut the bitterness in the salad, try a few hits of Tabasco or oil and vinegar mix.

I bought some sugar free ketchup and it was so nasty. Doesn’t taste right on anything.

So I went back to regular ketchup.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Sugar-free ketchup has artificial sweeteners. I generally don't trust anything that's labelled sugar free because of that.

If you're trying to lose weight, skip the ketchup if you can. Replace it with something not as sugary. If you're using it to dip your fries, well, the fries are going to get you more than the ketchup but even changing out the ketchup for malt vinegar (a la Five Guys) will help.

Don't forget the literal gallon of ranch.

Lite tho.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That looks fine, actually. Just replace the processed meats

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago (2 children)

You know that's cheese not carrots?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I definitely thought those were carrots. That certainly changes things

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Does it change things from carrots to cheese?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

What's funny is that carotin is generally used as a coloring agent in cheese, to make it less pale, or I guess, in this case quite orange.

I hate when my sandwich falls apart

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Hey at least you’re eating styrofoam and not that horrible “bread” stuff

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

That looks like an illustration from a 1950s cookbook. Mystery meat, shredded stuff, crinkle-cut discs, quartered boiled eggs, all in Kodachrome. Yummy! (I would eat it.)

And healthy. If I ate like this I’d basically be Dr Manhattan

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

My gawd - those hard boiled eggs are beyond overdone. Probably smells like a sulphur factory in there.
