Caesar Salad Calories
December 6, 2008
The number of Caesar Salad Calories may vary quite a lot. The main problem is that the vegetables and sizes are not standard. The way people cook the chicken changes and the dressing used also influences the caesar salad calories.
All in all, the number of caesar salad calories may range from 200 calories to 600 calories!
In order for you to get a sense of the number of caesar salad calories we’ll use a known example: McDonald’s Caesar Salad. You don’t really have to eat it, but it can help you get an idea on the number of caesar salad calories you eat at other place or make for yourself.
The chicken is the ingridient that adds the most caesar salad calories. Without it the McDonald’s Caesar Salad has only around 90 calories. But the number of chicken calories changes according to the chicken part of the cooking style. So adding grilled chicken adds 130 calories, but crispy chicken adds 240 calories.
So the total of caesar salad calories can add up to 220-330 calories (no dressing or croutons).
The single ingridient that might cost you those extra calories is the caesar salad dressing. What happens when you open a 2 fl oz packet of creamy caesar salad dressing? Well, take your caesar salad calories total and add 190 calories! You almost double the number of the caesar salad calories.
Croutons might also add extra calories: 120 for 1 oz. Your caesar salad calories can do without them indeed!
Chicken Calories

Chicken Calories
Chicken calories are easily added to most diets. So if you like chicken, this is your lucky day! Chicken calories are also a healthier choice than other types of meat. So both healthier and tasty, chicken calories are the way to go!
Chicken Calories – The Skin
The skin of a chicken is very high in fat and with the fat come more and more chicken calories. If you are watching your weight, it is always a good recommendation to remove the skin and lower the amount of chicken calories you consume.
You realize how significant the skin (from a chicken calories point of view) when you read the numbers: 60 chicken calories difference in 3.5oz of chicken breast and 180 chicken calories difference in 3.5oz of chicken back! So off with the skin!
Chicken Calories – The Parts
Chicken parts can vary in all sorts of ways: size, meat vs bone content, fat and of course chicken calories. If you are looking for low chicken calories parts, recommended ones would be chicken breast, chicken drumstick or chicken thighs. You can see for yourself how less fat and less calories they have compared to other parts (for 3.5oz of chicken without/with skin):
- Chicken breast calories: 110/172 calories
- Chicken drumstick calories: 119/161 calories
- Chicken thigh calories: 119/211 calories
- Chicken wings calories: 126/222 calories
- Chicken back calories: 137/319 calories
Chicken Calories
Another good tip about lowering the chicken calories would be to avoid frying the chicken in oil. Stick to boiling or grilling and you’ll be just fine. Lucky for us, chicken can be tender and delicious and much as it can be low in chicken calories. Bon Appetite!
