    I normally get the Triple Baconator with small fries, a water, and a small chocolate frosty. Its an easy way to hit my protein goals for the day, easy way to hit my saturated fat goal for the month, and I get to skip dinner cuz that's like a 2000 calorie lunch.

    If you're in Canada, poutine. It's delish.

    If you're not in Canada, tell the Wendy's where you are to get poutine - because it's delish.

    I would order something really unhealthy and yummy, because I eat healthy during the wohle week and one cheatmeal is okay ;)

    If I don't have much flex in my calories for the day, I usually get chili and a side salad with italian dressing. If I DO have room in my diary, I usually get a spicy chicken sandwich (550 calories I think) and skip the fries. If I don't care about calories that day? A baconator, small fry and the Caramel ice-cream drink thing. Yum.

    The only things I ever liked at Wendy's were the baked potatoes and the chili. I especially liked the chili poured over the baked potato....

    ...but I've found a similar chili recipe online, so now I just make the same thing at home.

    some sort of chicken strip with ranch dipping sauce and a poutine and diet coke cause I prefer it over regular coke and if Wendy's doesn't serve coke lemonade or ice tea.

    There is a Wendy's app that lets you see all the info and customize each item then see the modified info (IE: I dont get mayo or tomato on my chicken burger) VERY cool and helps this process

    I love Wendys salads - the one with the strawberries and chicken. Yum

    The strawberry fields salad with chicken is delicious. It's around 570 calories (in Canada at least) but it also packs 37g of protein, and I don't really care about the 33g of fat, so....

    Apple Pecan Salad - full size, throw away one packet of dressing, and skip the pecans. Under 500 calories, and 35+grams of protein. Plus, yummy!

    The Wendy's 10-piece nuggets fits my macros pretty well.

    Last time I went I tried a chicken salad with strawberries in it. Was gross (in my opinion)!!, so I wouldn't order that. The chicken just tasted fatty and nasty. Gross to think about it now.

    If I went back I'd probably just order a bowl of chili, that tends to be pretty good last I recall. Or a frosty.

    I would choose a baked potato with chili on it and a small side salad with water with lemon added to it. the Baconator has too much fat in it along with sodium, fries have sodium ...the point I think would be to choose healthier?
