Good job!

But, what kind of salad?

Chicken BLT: Chicken has sugar in it, bacon has sugar in it, the dressing is crap

Mandarin Chicken:  Chicken has sugar in it, Oranges are in a sugary syrup, more sugary dressing

Southwest Taco:  The chili contains the same meat as the burgers and also contains sugar.  The chips are bad, the sour cream is bad, the dressing has sugar in it.

Chicken Caesar:  The chicken contains sugar, the croutons are bad

Caesar Side:  The bacon contains sugar

Side Salad:  This might be your only good option, depending on which dressing you get..

Are those better than a burger?  Honestly, I'm not sure.  You're not really getting protein or anything, just a bunch of sugar.  Maybe a burger would have been better for you.

Just some friendly information.  Use it as you wish.


I had the side sald with dressing(which I know is bad)

Although there may be more sugar and less nutrition in the salad the salad IMHO is a much healthier and more low calorie choice.

soory edit meant to say salad where burger used to be....

I almost never get FF anymore but sometimes im just in a pinch and a guys gotta eat. But Wendys is almost always my only option.

I get there grilled chicken sandwhichs with Lettuce tomato and pickles.

I do remember reading that McDonalds salads where very high in calories and sugar, and sometimes higher in fat drenching it in certain dressings, didnt know that about wendys. They arent to bad tho, No more trans fat there I believe.

Congrats on getting the salad over the burger, Healthy eating gets easier the more you do it so stick to your guns!

Not necessarily  -unless the salad is home made and teh dressing too.............hyou have no idea what they do the salad at fast food joints - I am sure you can find the nutrient breakdown somewhere and almost am sure I have seen this and if you are at wendys, the burger may not be all taht much worse...............now homemade is diff, but that goes for the burger too - although as I said above, these burgers are just like homemade, just pressed into squares, but pure.  its the may and ketchup and bread........... b ut the salads can have bread and sugars too so it can be a prettyclose fight.

I once read an article on Fast food and the article metioned that most of the major chains soak the fries,"if that's what you want to call them.." in a sugar based liquid..to enhance the flavor and give them a slighly sweet taste.. something that would appeal to kids..??

similar to what Italianangel said about McD's...

If all of us could visit the nasty, inhumane processing plants where most of this crap orginates from..and sit in on some of the meetings that take place regarding the chemicals that are added to the food to give it a distict appealing taste... most of use would probably never eat meat again...

I really do understand but for me I'd rather have a salad with 300 to 400 calories than a 300 calorie burger 300 calorie fries and a 250 calorie coke. for me I'll take the lower calorie one with less nutrtion. But I aprecciate all of the information that you have provided...Smile

who said anything about teh fries and coke, I was just talking burger only.  But yeah it is your choice, but the salad has no protein.............a home made salad with tuna or chicken would beat all the ideas here..............
