M&S cheeseburger ‘salad’ isn’t only so-called healthy lunch that’s worse than KFC or McDonald’s – as our test reveals
SWAPPING that burger for a supermarket salad may seem to be just what the doctor ordered.
But after we revealed M&S’s cheeseburger pasta salad has 262 more calories than a Big Mac and 33g fat compared with the burgers 24g, things may not be so simple.
Nutritionist Amanda Ursell warns: “Be careful about the word ‘salad’.
“Check the nutrition or you can get an unhealthier meal than you intended.”
Nikki Watkins compares calorie and fat counts for “healthy” High Street salads and pastas with fast food treats.
