We headed to Wendy’s for a quick lunch the other day. Beforehand I scanned the nutritional information they had online and was slightly surprised with my selection of foods under 20% calories from fat.
First of all their frosty is about 22% calories from fat. Im not a huge frosty fan so I passed on it. The next item I saw that was low fat was their plain baked potatoe, 17% calories from fat but that didnt really scream YUMMY to me. Their plain side salad has no fat and their baked lays potatoe chips are only 13% calories from fat. They also have mandrine oranges that are fat free and low fat strawberry yogurt that is only 9% calories from fat! The only sandwhich they had that was under 20% calories from fat was their ultimate chicken grill sandwhich. It was okay, it comes with this honey mustard sauce that was just ‘meh’. But the chicken was very nicely seasoned! I definatly would get this again, but go without the sauce.
Ive been searching my local stores for low fat tortilla’s for a while now and finally found some today! They are Mission 96% fat free tortillas. They have 130 calories and 1.5 grams of fat per tortilla which makes them about 10% calories from fat. Thats GREAT! The other tortillas I used to buy were something like 26% calories from fat. Im thrilled! This makes tacos, enchiladas and taco salads much lower in fat for me now! I love mexican food- I love even more low fat mexican food!! I havent cooked these yet, just eaten them as is and they dont seem much different than their full fat counterparts. Ill be sure to review them again once Ive tried them cooked in enchiladas or as a taco salad shell.
