    Spicy Chicken Sandwich (Plain, nothing on it, just the chicken and the bun) and a Diet Coke....

    450 calories and tastes great... A little high in sodium so I am careful the rest of the day....

    Not a fan of their burgers at Wendy's so it is easy for me to stay healthy there for me. Grilled chicken go-wrap's without sauce are good.

    I like their grilled chicken wrap (no sauce) in a kid's meal - and I get it with a side of sliced apples and diet soda.

    Pretzel burger was over-rated.

    I usually get a dollar menu burger and fries.

    I don't eat fast food very often... but when I do at Wendy's I get a grilled chicken go wrap and a baked potato. (About 580 calories... but I rarely eat the whole potato so its even lower than that.)

    I always get a full size Apple pecan chicken salad or the strawberry fields salad with only 1 dressing. They are awesome and both are low calorie and very filling.

    I get the chili and put it over a plain baked potato. So yummy and filling!

    if youre going to wendys theres no point in trying to keep it healthy. I would order what I want, eat it then work it off the next couple of days.
  • Apple Pecan Chicken is amazing! Get the grilled chicken, not crispy. They dressing is actually not bad as far as calories and fat content, but I still only use one packet because I don't like my salad swimming in dressing. The pecans are the hard to resist part. They are a delicious little sweet treat, but are loaded with sugar, so they're high in calories. Skip them if you have the willpower. If you need more food than that, go for a side of chili without cheese or crackers.

    I am a assistant manager at Wendy's and have to eat every day there if they have the Gouda chicken there its a specialty sandwich only carried for limited time it is very good. I get it substituted the home style chicken for grill to save on calories. it has 37 grams of protein and with the grill chicken is only 470 calories. if you go with the home style chicken the protein drops to 32 and the calories raise to 600.

    I've been loving their strawberry field salad this summer! Not sure what I'll do when it's gone - probably back to the ol' "chili and a baked potato" standby.

    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.

    +1. I don't eat Wendy's or fast food in general much anymore, but when I do the small chili over baked potato works for me. Their salad I have tried seemed a little skimpy, but that's been quite some time. I think they have new offerings. Naturally you still have to watch what's really in there and how much [dressing, croutons, cheeses, bacon, etc.]

    Either a small spicy chicken sandwich meal with diet coke or a pretzel burger with diet coke.

    If that fish filet is still rocking, maybe that.

    Why: I never go out to eat at lunch because I bring my food every day. If I went to Wendy's I for sure would get something good/filling
