Sport The great Salad Dressing Debate!!!

[Tomahawk]

I'm so confused. Is it better to get regular salad dressing which is high in fat, however low in carbs.. or is it better to get the fat free salad dressing which is high in carbs and no fat. Or should I go for the light which is a balance of both. I'm so confused.

It all depends on your goals. I personally use full fat dressings when eating a salad. If it fits into your macro requirements, it's fine.

I make my own dressing with red wine vinegar, olive oil, and a half packet of italian dressing seasoning (its with the Hidden Valley Ranch dry packets).

Yeah, like LV said it depends on your goals, but if you are trying to lose weight I would go with the fat-free because, it's hard to burn fat and the carbs will give you a little more energy. Sometimes I like to think of it as I'd rather get my fat intake elsewhere, rather than a stupid salad dressing.
