First a bit about me/my daily intake:
My TDEE ranges from 1900-2400 and I aim for -1000cal deficit.
These salads may seem higher cal to some people, it’s my only meal of the day along with a protein shake (200 cal 18g protein)

+ then I usually have 200cal of fruit/snacks/soy milk bringing me to 800-1200 depending on the day!
Protein is really important for me bc I want to minimise muscle loss, water retention and swelling.

My daily recommended protein is 50-175g! You can check yours here: https://www.omnicalculator.com/health/protein
Unfortunately protein is higher cal (50g = 200 cal). Most days I get 50-70g.
Like I said, protein is really important - it does make you feel fuller and help weight loss though!

BUT, if you’re really worried about calories, I almost always have 100g of tofu (14g protein, 180cals).
It doesn’t add much flavour/texture wise to the salad (I sometimes have it as a side) so you can take it out to remove 180cals and instantly these salads are all much lower

(Obviously this are just to share my salads and any ingredient can be subbed/removed)
If u want to know the specific ingredients weights used for a salad let me know
I usually use low fat versions if I can, and use high cal things sparingly
