Calories in Caesar Salad
A side caesar salad (about 150 g) has roughly 210 calories, and a full entrée bowl (about 300 g) runs 400-450 — around 140 calories per 100 g. Despite the lettuce base, caesar salad is not automatically light: the creamy dressing, parmesan and croutons supply most of the calories. Grilled chicken adds protein and about 120-160 calories to a typical bowl.

Still Wondering About SlimAI
The dressing is an emulsion of oil, egg and parmesan at roughly 75-85 calories per tablespoon, and croutons add refined-carb calories on top. A garden salad with vinaigrette can be half the calories of a caesar of the same size.
Ask for dressing on the side and use half, reduce or skip the croutons, and add grilled chicken so the bowl is more filling per calorie. A modified entrée caesar can land near 350 calories with 30+ g of protein.
Yes — an entrée bowl with grilled chicken provides roughly 35-40 g of protein at around 560 calories, and a lightened version can fit a calorie-deficit routine well. It is one of the better restaurant options when you manage the dressing.
Scan the bowl with SlimAI's photo logging — it picks up the chicken, croutons and dressing — or search "caesar salad" and choose side or entrée size. Voice logging also works: "chicken caesar salad, dressing on the side".
