Stupid Food Q

[tolinka]

After preparing some sort of dish...lets take salad for example: we throw, lettuce, tomatoes, onions, cucumber, a little olive oilve...Ok so now we make a big ass bowl with salad. But how do you know the nutritional facts per each serving???

Sorry for the dumb queastion, I really try to make more intelligent.

Look up the book called "The Protien Counter"
By Annette B. Natow and Jo-Ann Heslin.
Salads are listed in it and the nutrional info is based on how much salad per serving is taken in. I am looking right now at servings of 3.5 oz per serving which for a regular Caesar salads there are 170 calories, 9 grams of carbs. 14 grams of fat and 3 grams of protien. Of course you will also have to look up the nutrional info for the salad dressing.
