                                While often perceived as a healthy, light meal, a restaurant-sized chicken caesar salad can contain anywhere from 500 to over 1,000 calories, with one chain's entree clocking in at 980 calories. The caloric value is not always what it seems, due to specific high-fat ingredients.
