Hi,

I noticed a sandwich at Wendy's today called the "Jalapeno Fresco Spicy Chicken Sandwich". I'm not much of a fast-food person, but I do love spicy food and was caught out on the road at work, so I pulled over to try one out.

Apparently it's really new. I'm having a problem finding the nutritional information so that I can log it. Anyone know where I can find the info?

Thanks.

    Yeah, I am going to say there is no way the OP's sandwich was that low in calories.

    It would probably be better for the OP to find an (accurate) entry for a similar Wendy's sandwich than to use one that is so obviously inaccurate. This sandwich is made with fried chicken, cheese, and what looks to be a creamy sauce. One strategy might be to choose the entry for the regular Wendy's crispy chicken sandwich and then add calories to account for the amount of sauce (maybe using mayo as a base) and the cheese involved.

    I'd go with their chicken sandwich that has the most calories on their website as an estimate - Asiago Ranch Chicken Club Sandwich @ 670 calories. Better to overestimate than underestimate. :smile:
