We all know fast-food spots (and even some fast-casual chain restaurants) aren't the places to find healthy eats, but there are smart-ish choices to be made. Here's what you should order if you'd prefer to be health-conscious at Wendy's:
Best Burger: Junior Hamburger
This 240-calorie number with pickles and onions (and 14 grams of protein) wins by a landslide, especially when compared to Dave's Triple, which packs in 1,090 calories despite is 71 grams of protein.
Best Sandwich: Grilled Chicken Wrap
Clocking in with just 270 calories, this option also packs 20 grams of protein. It far outweighs the Asiago Ranch Chicken Club, which contains 670 calories thanks to lots of bacon, cheese, and ranch dressing.
This baby beats out everything else available by far. Packed with veggies and grilled chicken, it's only 450 calories while still packing 8 grams of fiber and 40 grams of protein. Plus it looks pretty amazing, too. For comparison, the Spicy Chicken Caesar contains over 700 calories.
Best Side: Chili
Surprisingly, a small cup of chili contains less calories than a side salad. And it's loaded with 15 grams of protein, too. Opt for one of these instead of a starchy, 300-calorie baked potato or 320-calorie small order of fries.
The Wendy's Chicken Wrap is a balanced choice with moderate calories, high protein, and essential vitamins. It's a healthier fast food option, but watch out for the sodium content. When choosing the Wendy's Chicken Wrap, remember it's a good source of protein, fiber, and important nutrients.
Even without cheese, a baked potato with broccoli at Wendy's delivers 9 grams of fiber and 10 grams of protein, with a significant saturated fat and sodium savings. Pair the potato with a garden side salad with pomegranate dressing, and add roasted pecans to boost the protein of the meal.
Wendy's top three most ordered items included Chicken Nuggets (Spicy or Classic), the classic Dave's Double® and of course, Wendy's signature Baconator®.
Balsamic Vinaigrette (90 calories, 6 g fat, 380 mg sodium), Light Classic Ranch (90 calories, 8 g fat, 360 mg sodium) or Fat Free French (70 calories, 0 g fat, 170 mg sodium) are your best choices for salad dressings. Be sure to ask to substitute one of the lighter dressings when you order.
Opt for Wendy's grilled chicken sandwiches or salads over their breaded or fried counterparts. The Grilled Chicken Sandwich or Grilled Chicken Wrap are good options. Customize your order by asking for no mayo or cheese, and request extra veggies instead.
The cobb salad is the highest protein option on Wendy's menu and offers a rainbow of produce and protein, featuring grilled chicken, tomatoes, cheddar cheese, chopped eggs, smoked bacon, and crispy fried onions, all on a bed of lettuce.
Option number one is the grilled chicken sandwich. It's about 380cal with about 35g of protein. Option number 2 is the Parmesan Caesar salad. This salad with the dressing is about 560cal, so a little higher in calories, but it has 51g of protein.
