Chipotle chips add a significant amount of fat and calories to a salad and should be avoided if you are looking for a low calorie salad. The guacamole too has a high fat content and could be substituted with the red tomatillo salsa to help build the salad. The MayoClinic.com suggests that fat intake be limited to just 20 to 35 percent of your daily caloric intake; making these substitutions will help you better reach these guidelines.
