Wendy's Calories, Best Fast Food Choices for Dieters

Diet Article: What are the best choices at Wendy's for dieters based on caloric content?

What does Diet Bites like about Wendy's Restaurant? A whole lot! They have some very delicious, low caloric selections that should fit perfectly into a healthy weight loss plan.

Let's begin with their Grilled Chicken Sandwich for only 310 calories and 8 total grams of fat.

Not in the mood for chicken? Then let's move to their rich chili; the small container holds 210 skinny calories while that jumbo container holds only 100 more at 310 calories and only 10 grams of fat. We are certainly impressed! You'll want to order more than one container because you can store it in your refrigerator for one of your diet menus come the morrow.

Because the chili contains lean beef, you will keep feeling full for quite a long spell after you've enjoyed your meal. Add a few crackers; you can also top the chili with cheese and onions for a few more calories. If you take some chili home with you, then you might prefer to use your own chopped onion - just to keep things as fresh as fresh can be where vegetables are concerned. As to the chili, the flavors will intensify as it rests in your refrigerator. Do enjoy the following day.

The Taco Salad at Wendy's Restaurant is only 380 calories strong but it does contain 19 total fat grams; this might be a bit high in the fat department, but the caloric value is fantastic and the salad is filling. If you order a taco salad at Taco Bell, it contains almost 1,000 calories -so there is quite a vast difference in this taco salad and the other. And of course, Taco Bell has some excellent choices for dieters on their extensive menu - just not their taco salad. To view our favorite selections, simply use the link at the top of this article.

Good Menu Choices for Dieters Based on Caloric Content

Small Chili = 210 calories

Large Chili = 310 calories

Small Hamburger = 250 calories for the Jr.

Taco Salad = 380 calories

Apple Pecan Chicken Salad = 340 calories

Let's get back to Wendy's, shall we - specifically their excellent salad selections. Their Apple Pecan Chicken Salad is definitely worth investigating. For less than 350 calories, it's a dieter's dream. You can even order the half-salad for 170 calories and about 5.5 total fat grams. We strongly recommend the Pomegranate Vinaigrette Dressing for 60 calories.

You can move up to the Baja Salad for 540 calories or you can order the half-salad for only 280 calories and about 8 total fat grams. The BLT Cobb Salad contains 450 calories with the half-salad version at 230 calories and about 13 fat grams.

Wendy's is also one of the few fast food restaurants which offers low fat milk selections, including chocolate milk.

If you are in the mood for a burger - think small; their Jr. Hamburger contains a skinny 250 calories while the Jr. Cheeseburger contains 290; request that additional vegetables be added to your burger and you'll increase the nutritional values.

Some selections that you'll most likely want to avoid while dieting include their fries as well as their famous Frosty's. Even the small version contains 300 calories - and that's enough to enjoy an entire salad or a cheeseburger. Also avoid the double-meat, double-cheese menu selections.

While the Premium Cod Fish Fillet Sandwich contains 510 calories and 26 total fat grams, it is a very large sandwich and it makes a substantial meal that will stick to your ribs until your next meal when enjoyed with a diet drink. Caloric and fat values can be trimmed a bit by asking your server to go light on the spread - which is Tartar Sauce.
