Of all the “wonderful” fast food restaurants, Wendy’s has always been a favorite.  I don’t know why, I just think that their burgers are far superior over the competition… not that is really saying that much.  But lately, I have been eating a tiny bit healthier than normal and last night my sister and I were going to enjoy a Sunday dinner at Wendy’s.  So, I logged onto the interweb via my phone and checked out the nutritional value of the Wendy’s menu.

I was bound and determined to find something that would not kill me.

Unfortunately unless you get a salad, you are pretty much out of luck and even then, the salads are a horrible choice.  I guess if you leave off the dressing they wouldn’t be so bad.  But I would have to order about 5 of their salads just to even begin filling me up, so that wasn’t happening.  Some of their sandwiches were well over a 1000 calories… not that I have ever really cared before, but now I see that I was just one delicious Baconator bite away from clogged arteries and death.  I mean, I used to eat that with larges fries and a large coke.  (BTW… the nutritional value of a Baconator Double Value Meal large is…. ready…. 1800 Calories, 89 grams of fat, 197 grams of carbs, and 66 grams of protein.)

So anyway, after having a hard time navigating the menu through my phone, I established that I wasn’t going to find anything healthy.  I ended up getting a small chili and an Ultimate Chicken Sandwich.  Oh, and a free cup of water, of course.  (590 Calories, 16 grams of fat, 62 grams of carbs, and 50 grams of protein.)

Here is a picture of this delicious sounding meal.

Trust me, it was about as tasty as it looks.  For some reason, the food looks a lot better in their pictures.  I guess that is why the a have food picture taking experts come in and take the pictures, so they don’t look this bad and unappealing.

Now, I said I always preferred Wendy’s, but the one we were at (unfortunately I didn’t get the store number… sad face…) was not on it’s game.  The food took forever to make – and they weren’t busy.  So, it was your typical fast food experience these days around here – long lines, 1 cashier, and 47 employees standing around in the back talking.  There were two other people seated in the whole place and about 10 people behind us and trust me, Wendy’s employees weren’t in any rush.   And, to top it off, they got half of the order wrong – go figure.

Anyway, I need to find a new local Wendy’s the food was bad and the service was terrible – not to mention rude.  Whoever is managing that place, doesn’t have a clue what they are doing.

Well now that I got that out of my system, if you have an awesome Wendy’s that doesn’t suck (Good luck!) you should check out this Nutritional Calculator that they have.  It really can be an eye opener for how much you are really eating!  (Not that we care, “We’re American!”)
