I just want to know if black olives on a salad are something I should stay away from or are they OK for me to have. I have a subway salad almost everyday for lunch while I am at work. I have roasted chicken then a tomatoe cucumber lightly shredded cheese and then quit a bit of black olives. They are something I can eat but not sure how good they are for me? Can some one please fill me in!

Olives are high in fat and they are very high in salt. Personally I wouldn't bother with them.

In moderation... I love black olives too.

5 medium black olives / 25 calories / 2 grams fat / 95 mg sodium

If you slice them up thin you will feel like you are eatting more

I love olives too! And good thing they ARE full of fat, but it's the good kind of fat, like avocados. Eat up!

Olives are good fat and the sodium is not that high if the rest of your day is fairly unprocessed.

Well thank you I do love some olives. They are better than a cupcake haha.
