Here’s a head-scratcher for you: McDonald's new "healthy" kale salad, introduced in the fast-food chain's Canadian restaurants, has more calories than a Big Mac.

Time reports that one of the salads — known as the “Keep Calm, Caesar On” —has nearly 200 more calories than the restaurant’s signature sandwich (which weighs in at 540 calories).
McDonald’s announced last year it would add nutrient-rich kale to its menu.

A report from the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation recommends that consumers eat McDonald’s other kale salad option the “I’m Greek-ing Out,” which has 420 calories, compared to the “Caeser On” salad’s 730 calories)

The CBC also suggest removing the feta cheese and other extras, and using the provided salad dressing sparingly.
