Wendy's Dinner

Tuesdays are very long days for me.  I am at school for 11 hours, then I go to the gym.  I get home for dinner somewhere in the 8 o'clock hour.  The last thing I want to do is start cooking.


Yesterday, I decided I would treat myself to something from Wendy's.  I took my time to research the best nutritional options for me and decided on their Apple Pecan Chicken Salad and a small chili.

Let me tell you, this salad is DELICIOUS!!!  The full-sized salad by itself it 9 Points+.  Their pomegranate vinaigrette isn't too bad, 2 packets have 3 Points+, and are more than enough for the salad size.  12 Points+ for a large salad with chicken from a fast food restaurant seems very reasonable to me.  Since I was famished by this point in the day, the chili was mandatory, and a small has 4 Points+.


So, 16 Points+, dinner was enjoyed, I didn't have to cook, and I worked it into my plan for the day.  Success all around!

Wendy's Fast Food Go To!

There are always times when you are running around all day and need to grab food quickly.  Most fast food options are disgustingly bad for you, but there are a few gems hidden here and there.

Today, we look at Wendy's!

My favorite is the chili from Wendy's.  A small chili has 210 calories, 6g fat, 21g carbs, 6g fiber, 17g protein and 880mg sodium.  Besides the sodium (which is about 38% of your daily recommended amount), it's not as bad as other things, and it will set you back only 4 Points+.  If you're really wanting more food, a large chili is still only 7 Points+.
