"I don't know why I'm gaining weight. All I eat is salad." Just Salad's Gochujang Chicken Market Plate: 810 calories, 29g sugar, 2,290mg sodium - and the advertised total doesn't even include the dressing. I fixed their website image to be more accurate.

"I don't know why I'm gaining weight. All I eat is salad."That's because dirty food companies and marketers are sabotaging you.Here's a good one for you:Just Salad = Fake Health FoodSo I fixed their website image to be more accurate.This abomination contains:810 calories109 grams of carbohydrates29 grams of sugar2,290 milligrams of sodiumSweetened processed sauceFried, flour-coated onionsAdded oils throughout almost every componentThere are vegetables and protein underneath all that garbage. But they took a basic chicken, rice, and vegetable plate and transformed it into processed restaurant food marketed as health food.And here's the best part: the 730 calories they advertise do not include the additional Gochujang Sauce listed separately as the dressing. Just Salad states that its menu-item totals exclude dressings.That additional sauce is basically liquid candy: 80 calories, 19 grams of carbohydrates, 15 grams of sugar, and 430 milligrams of sodium.But it has 35g protein 🤣Need help navigating the polluted modern food supply?1:1 coaching: GetUpEarlier.com
