I had a Jr Double Cheese Burger from wendy's the other night for dinner (tsk tsk I know, but I had water all day). I ordered it with light mayo and no cheese. I can't find the nutritional value of the burger without cheese, I've found no bun, everything but meat etc.
Is there a way on here to like, extract the cheese?? lol
I have this problem with other items too

Thanks for any advice

    It really depends on how you put it in the search, but I can usually find everything after a little time. However, you could always look up cheeseburger, then seperately look up cheese. Deduct that in my your mind, then enter as quick calories. Or just peek on calorieking, see if you find it, then enter as quick cals. Hope this helps!

    Thanks a bunch!!! I'll look at calorieking and if I don't find it I'll go the cheese method :)

    you CAN put in negative calories though, like after the sandwich put "quick add calories, -70 calories" (or whatever the cheese is).

    A negative amount for the quick add will subtract it from your daily total.
    or even look up a slice of generic cheese and put in the quantity as -1 slice, then it will subtract ALL the nutrients, not just the calories!

    According to the Wendy's website a regular burger is 230 cal/8 g fat/26g carbs/12 g protein and a regular cheeseburger is 270 cal/11 g fat/27 g carbs/15 g protein. So just deduct 40 cal/3 g fat/1 g carbs/3 g protein per slice of cheese that would have been on your burger. (I don't eat at Wendy's so I don't know if it woulda been one or two slices on what your ordered.

    If you just get the nutritional info for what you did order and subtract the cheese info, you can just enter it into My Foods that way as well.

    I thought the same thing, but when I went to the Wendy's site apparently the only thing they have that comes without cheese is the normal hamburger, everything above that, including the double jr thing mentioned by the OP has at least one slice of cheese on it. lol
