Calories are important when looking to lose body fat but keep in mind they are not the only thing that matters.
Nutritionally speaking our top pick at Wendy’s would be the Parmesan Caesar Salad because it includes more fiber, which will help you feel fuller for longer. It is also high in protein (41g protein)

Disclaimer & recs:
As dietitians we do not recommend eating these meals frequently due to the lack of fruits, veggies and whole grains. Above we have left some of the lower calorie options if you find yourself stopping at McDonald’s.
Although these meals are calorie controlled, they’re often small in portion size. Therefore, relying solely on fast food to meet your nutritional needs may leave you feeling unsatisfied and hungry.
Here are some tips that might also help you order:
Remove bun from burger
Add extra veggies (tomato, pickles, lettuce)
Drink water, avoid soda
Limit heavy sauces
Choose grilled over fried when you can
