No, 1000 calories of salad is not the same as 100 calories of McDonalds. While the caloric intake is the same, your body will process these types of foods differently. The highly processed foods served at McDonalds are full of fat and sodium, and are mostly useless to the body. Salad, however, will provide your body with key vitamins and nutrients. It will also fill you up much more effectively than McDonalds. Have you ever tried to eat 1000 calories of vegetables? It's nearly impossible (and very filling). At McDonalds, a medium french fries and a Crispy Chicken Club Sandwich will put you well over the 1000 calorie mark.

You may think this answer is crazy but up to a hundred that is the same with kissing.
