Is eating salad every day healthy or unhealthy?

That’s all you eat?
Yes, you are starving yourself literally, and starving yourself of nutrients. You need variety. As for including a salad in your diet every day, that is perfectly healthy. (It better be, because I’ve eaten a salad every day for as many years as I can remember.) But, you have to eat other food, too.
A healthy, adult female should be eating no less than 1200 calories a day. I find it very unlikely that you’ve got 1200 calories in that salad, unless you’re eating it out of the dressing with a spoon.

If you are only eating one meal a day then you are hurting your body and your metabolism. You should actually eat around 6 times or more times a day but have it be in small portions.

VARIETY.
Change it up a bit. We all have our favorites, but it isn’t healthy to eat the same thing every single day, no matter how healthy it is. Poke around at the grocery store or a resturant, say, Boston Market. you might just find a new fav ;)

A good mixed/chopped salad everyday is healthy as part of an overall varied diet. I get some balsamic vinaigrette though, instead of the bleu cheese.

If you are at a healthy weight, you need some whole grain complex carbs in the mix too.

You could throw some nuts/seeds into the salad to get some extra nutrients. Throw an egg in every now and then. You could use spinach leaves as your base, as opposed to iceberg or whatever else. It’‘s the small things that make the difference when it comes to nutrition (if you’re healthy enough as it is)
It sounds like quite a limited diet. During your breaks at work, you could snack on some nuts, etc, etc.
I agree that several small meals throughout the day is more beneficial

Eating salad every day is very healthy.

But not if that’s all you’re eating!!

And, anyway, turkey bits and blue cheese dressing don’t sound healthy at all. And you’re wasting a lot of money buying pre-packaged foods like that.

You need more variety in your diet. As far as veggies go, lettuce doesn’t have much going for it. You need to eat all different kinds of veggies. Same with the other food groups: you need variety, or else you won’t get enough of all the different nutrients your body needs to thrive.

Based on your schedule, I think what you need to do is prepare meals ahead of time. You don’t really work 8–11 hours EVERY day, do you? (If so, I encourage you to find a job that gives you more time to yourself, because I don’t see how you even could eat healthily with a schedule like that.) Every two weeks or so, spend one of your days off cooking. Some ideas:

Roast a whole turkey. Put the meat in the fridge, and make stock with the bones and fat. Make soup from the stock and freeze it. And make different soups, not always the same one! On a busy day, throw some of the meat on your salad, or reheat the soup.

Cook a huge pot of pasta sauce. Put some in the fridge, and freeze the rest. Again, make different sauces, that use different ingredients: variety! Reheat the sauce and cook some dried pasta for a quick meal.

Buy two bunches of carrots, clean them and chop them into fingers, and put them in the fridge in a tupperware filled with water. Any time you need a snack, grab some carrot sticks.

You can make dips for the carrot sticks and for sandwich spreads just like you make sauce: in a huge batch, freeze some, and keep some in the fridge. Black bean dips, cheese dips, hummus, etc.

Cook some quinoa and keep it in the fridge. On a very busy day, you can throw it on your salad and that’ll make for a much better meal.

Chili, casseroles… you get the idea: things that can be eaten or reheated and eaten on the fly.

A big block of parmesan is great to keep around because it’s long-lasting and low in fat. Good for salads, sandwiches, pastas, soups…

Keep jars of nuts and dried fruits from a bulk store. They make a very quick and healthy snack.

Store bread in the freezer. It keeps it from going stale and from developing mold. Toast on a low-setting to thaw.

Is the bagged salad all iceberg (bad- no nutrients) or does it include mixed greens (much better)?

Bleu cheese dressing is very unhealthy; try an olive oil vinaigrette instead.

Can you add some other veggies, fruits, nuts?

The turkey bits are probably unhealthy; most such products have lots of sodium and nitrates.

Salads can be a very healthy, and quick meal to eat, but you need to mix up the ingredients that you put into it every few days, or you will not be getting all the nutrients you need. Plus, the fact that you are only using bleu cheese dressing on your salad is probably giving you too much fat.

You need to eat at least 3 meals per day, and possible 5 or 6 (much smaller, but nutrient dense meals) per day. Otherwise it throws your metabolism and blood sugar levels way out of whack. This can lead to serious problems down the road.

Salads are great, but please make sure that you mix up the ingredients every few days so that you are sure to get all of the vitamins and minerals that you need. Here’s some things to try: different lettuces (don’t use iceberg because it has virtually no nutritious value, but do try butter lettuce, romaine, baby greens, red and green leaf lettuces and mixes with dandelion greens, chicory, arugula etc. Trader Joe’s has lots of different bagged selections) then try tomatoes (heirloom, grape, cherry, vine ripened tomatoes) then try beets (raw or steamed and sliced) carrots, broccoli, cauliflower, apples, dried cranberries and cherries, sliced turnips and radishes, water chestnuts, bamboo shoots, beans and legumes of all kinds (garbanzo, navy, kidney, lentils, peas, pinto, black eyed peas) chopped hearts of palm, kalamata olives, sliced banana peppers, raw red and green bell peppers, mango chunks, strawberries, peanuts, walnuts, sunflower seeds, tofu (raw or baked) and small pieces of different kinds of cheeses (don’t over do it with the cheese and go very light and easy with the creamy dressings) olive oil and vinegar (try different kinds of vinegars) is your best bet and have the dressings on the side, so you can monitor how much you are really eating.

And like @zenvelo said, you need to add in some comlex carbohydrates to your meals, like whole wheat bread, pita, tortillas or grain based dishes like tabouli, wheat berries, or brown rice or wild rice or whole grain pasta.

You should also be getting some non fat or low fat dairy products like milk or yogurt, to make sure that you are getting enough calcium, without adding too much fat.

If you feel like you don’t have the time to fix food to eat during the day, then make a point of throwing some prepacked snacks into your insulated lunch cooler (or take them to work to keep in the fridge) some fruit and veggie packs (Trader Joe’s has lots of combos) low fat string cheese, nutrient dense (but lower fat) protein bars, whole grain crackers, hummus, low salt, low fat pre-bagged popcorn, canned nutrition drinks like Ensure, yogurt, nuts of all kinds and trail mix, pre-made sandwiches and wraps (from Trader Joes).

There’s a whole world of food out there. Salad is great, but it should not be your only meal. You might want to look up some recipes (or we can supply you with some) that you can make ahead of time, then freeze individual portions that you can pop into the microwave when you get home (or put in a hot thermos to take to work) like: chili, lasagna, burritos, soup, stew, spaghetti, mac and cheese, stroganoff, etc. Trader Joe’s also makes a whole bunch of great canned and cartoned soups, just pour into a bowl and heat in the microwave (add frozen or fresh veggies or whole grain pasta if you want). Make eating well, be a part of your every day life, not just an afterthought, or your body will pay the price down the line.

Let us know what you like (and don’t like) and we’ll try to supply you with some easy to prepare ahead of time recipes, and some short cuts for making other dishes easier to make.

Eating the same salad every night probably isn’t helping you, but it would be worse if you were eating nightly bagels.

Salad is a blank canvas. Just like pasta or bread, you can put basically anything on a salad. Sometimes my partner makes hamburgers, and we put them on salad with hot pepper rings, cheese, and some veggies. Or we’ll make Montreal seasoned chicken and have it on a salad with veggies, cheese (what can I say, we like cheese), and a few bits of chopped grapes. Try making your own dressing too. It’s surprisingly easy, and there will be a lot less sodium and fewer soy products, which are terrible for you.

@nicobanks has excellent advice, especially about roasting a whole turkey. If you live alone or with just one other person, chicken will work well too, and cook faster due to the smaller size. We do that often, and it’s nice to have plain chicken or turkey to just throw in whatever we feel like. I recommend getting a good sized crock pot for making stock. That way you can leave it overnight and have delicious broth that has been simmering for hours. We got one at a thrift store, and it is excellent. The advice about keeping nuts and dried fruits around is also good, but I recommend using them to make homemade granola bars every few weeks. These granola bars are easy to make, store well, and are an easier snack to grab than loose nuts and fruit. Plus, they are less sweet than the packaged kind.

Also, pick up some plain whole milk yogurt, if you can find it. Flavored low fat yogurt is loaded with sugar, but if you get plain, you can add only as much sweetening as you need. If you use whole milk yogurt, you will need even less sugar because it is much richer and has better flavor. Usually I have yogurt for breakfast a couple times a week. I stir a little maple syrup and vanilla into plain whole milk yogurt, then throw on nuts, dried or frozen fruit, and coconut. Very filling, easy and delicious.

Everything in moderation.
You also need to eat more often than once or twice a day. Eat (healthy snack) when hungry). Every 3 hours or so. Give a good breakfast to start you body and day going.
There are so many articles and resources out there.
Balance your sugars, protien, carbs, natural sources of vitamins, etc…
Drink plenty of water, get good rest and exercise.

Some quick healthy meal alternatives:

Pasta with chopped ham and vegetables (pasta primavera).

A stir fry with chicken tenders, vegetables and rice.

One weekend day, cook some meat: a pot roast or a meatloaf, and then reheat the leftovers during the week.

Ground turkey or ground beef burgers.

If you make stock like @nicobanks and @hobbitsubculture said, make sure to put the gibblets in the pot with the bones and such. It adds a lot of fat soluble nutrients to the broth, and since most people for some reason don’t like organ meats (yum!) this is a good way to get those nutrients without eating them. I’m sure @hobbitsubculture will back me up on this, since she doesn’t eat organ meat.

It’s not the worst thing but you shouldn’t live on the same meal every day. Switch it up a bit. You can put ANYTHING in salad. Peanuts raisins apples grapes cranberries sweet potatoes REGULAR potatoes coconut steak tofu avocado corn wontons…..or at least if you’re going to eat the same exact thing, I would take some vitamins and supplements.

It’s really healthy, just make sure the greens you are eating are dark leafy greens. And limit the dressing!.
