<br>Hungry Girl Today: 09.25.08 
<br>
<br>WEEKLY WEIGH-IN 
<br>
<br>Don't let the pigtails fool you! This girl can get you into some serious trouble! 
<br>Here's a lesson in everything Wendy's... 
<br> 
<br>Simplified Salads and Standout Dressings
<br>
<br>Mandarin Grilled Chicken Salad without Crispy Noodles, No Dressing - 300 
<br>calories, 13g fat, 20g carbs, 5g fiber, 29g protein -- POINTS&reg; value 6* 
<br>
<br>We kept the almonds because, well, we like them, and they're good for you. 
<br>This salad is great -- the chicken breast is packed with protein, and the 
<br>mandarin oranges give it a sweet, fruity kick! But we recommend you opt for 
<br>one of our dressing picks below, not the Oriental Sesame -- a packet of that 
<br>sesame stuff has 170 calories and 10g fat (POINTS&reg; value 4*). 
<br>
<br>Grilled Chicken Caesar Salad with Homestyle Garlic Croutons, No Dressing - 
<br>240 calories, 7g fat, 18g carbs, 3g fiber, 29g protein -- POINTS&reg; value 5* 
<br>
<br>Those kooky Wendy's employees give out TWO packets of dressing for this 
<br>salad, and that would add an insane 250 calories and 26g fat (POINTS&reg; 
<br>value 7*) to your meal! Bad idea, and just not necessary. If it's gotta be 
<br>Caesar, opt for half a packet of the Southwest Caesar Dressing -- only 75 
<br>calories and 7.5g fat (POINTS&reg; value 2*). But we say go ahead and treat 
<br>yourself to those croutons. Why not? The stats are still great... 
<br>
<br>Balsamic Vinaigrette Dressing - 90 calories, 6g fat, 8g carbs, 0g fiber, 0g 
<br>protein (POINTS&reg; value 2*) 
<br>
<br>It goes with everything! And it's goooood... 
<br>
<br>Light Classic Ranch Dressing - 90 calories, 8g fat, 4g carbs, 0g fiber, 1g 
<br>protein (POINTS&reg; value 2*) 
<br>
<br>This is the only one of the "Light" dressings that's available at all Wendy's 
<br>locations. We love it 'cuz it's dependable! 
<br>
<br>HG Heads Up! Other good dressings include the Fat Free French (70 calories --
<br> POINTS&reg; value 1*) and the Light Honey Dijon (100 calories, 5g fat -- 
<br>POINTS&reg; value 2*). But sadly, those are only available at select locations.  
<br>      
<br>  
<br> 
<br>Good 'Wiches
<br>
<br>Ultimate Chicken Grill Sandwich - 320 calories, 7g fat, 36g carbs, 2g fiber, 
<br>28g protein -- POINTS&reg; value 7* 
<br>
<br>HG Tip! If you want to save 40 calories and 3.5g fat (and knock the 
<br>POINTS&reg; value down to 5*), lose the Honey Mustard Sauce. But ordering it 
<br>as is isn't a bad choice either! 
<br>
<br>Grilled Chicken Go Wrap - 260 calories, 11g fat, 23g carbs, 1g fiber, 17g 
<br>protein -- POINTS&reg; value 6* 
<br>
<br>Great stats, but keep in mind that 130 calories and 4g fat come from the 
<br>tortilla alone, so there's not much chicken in this thing. Skipping the sauce 
<br>OR the cheese will save you 35 calories and 3g fat -- then your wrap would 
<br>have a POINTS&reg; value of 5*. 
<br>
<br>Jr. Hamburger - 220 calories, 8g fat, 26g carbs, 1g fiber, 13g protein -- 
<br>POINTS&reg; value 5* 
<br>
<br>If you really want a burger, have this little one along with a healthy side. And 
<br>if you just NEED a cheeseburger, know that a slice of the junior-sized queso 
<br>adds 40 cals and 3.5g fat, bringing your burger total to a POINTS&reg; value of 
<br>6*. Your call. 
<br>
<br>Double Stack, No Cheese - 320 calories, 14g fat, 26g carbs, 1g fiber, 21g 
<br>protein -- POINTS&reg; value 7* 
<br>
<br>Craving more burger without more bun? Kudos to Wendy's for throwing TWO 
<br>Jr. patties on a small bun and putting the thing on their menu. That saves us 
<br>a LOT of special ordering!    
<br>  
<br>       
<br> 
<br>Hot Potatoes
<br>
<br>Broccoli and Cheese Potato - 320 calories, 2g fat, 69g carbs, 8g fiber, 10g 
<br>protein -- POINTS&reg; value 6* 
<br>
<br>WHOA! 2g fat for that potato SMOTHERED in cheese sauce? Sweet! And did 
<br>you check out that fiber count? Not too shabby! BTW, this potato is HUGE. So 
<br>feel free to load all the broccoli and cheese onto half of the potato, for a total 
<br>of only 185 calories and 2g fat (POINTS&reg; value 3*). 
<br>
<br>Sour Cream and Chives Potato - 320 calories, 4g fat, 63g carbs, 7g fiber, 8g 
<br>protein -- POINTS&reg; value 6* 
<br>
<br>Get this... they use reduced-fat sour cream by default. FANTASTIC! So not 
<br>only is it more satisfying than having it with butter, it's actually the smarter 
<br>option. And again, most of the calories here come from that huge potato. Use 
<br>sour cream and chives on just half of your spud, and you're looking at 185 
<br>calories and 4g fat (POINTS&reg; value 3*).  
<br>      
<br>  
<br> 
<br>Hey, Side Menu... You're Awesome!
<br>
<br>Small Chili - 190 calories, 6g fat, 19g carbs, 5g fiber, 14g protein -- 
<br>POINTS&reg; value 4* 
<br>
<br>Love this chili? The large has 280 calories, 9g fat, 29g carbs, 7g fiber, and 
<br>21g protein (POINTS&reg; value 6*). That's more of a sandwich-replacer than a 
<br>side, though! 
<br>
<br>Side Salad - 35 calories, 0g fat, 8g carbs, 2g fiber, 1g protein -- POINTS&reg; 
<br>value 0* 
<br>
<br>Not just shredded lettuce, peeps. Iceberg AND romaine, cucumbers, grape 
<br>tomatoes, and carrots. Just don't forget to factor in the stats for dressing! 
<br>
<br>Mandarin Oranges - 80 calories, 0g fat, 19g carbs, 1g fiber, 1g protein -- 
<br>POINTS&reg; value 1* 
<br>
<br>Strawberry Yogurt Squeezer - 70 calories, 0.5g fat, 12g carbs, 0g fiber, 2g 
<br>protein -- POINTS&reg; value 1* 
<br>
<br>Low-fat strawberry yogurt in a tube?! Convenient and delicious. 
<br>
<br>Jr. Frosty - 150 - 160 calories, 4g fat, 26g carbs, 0g fiber, 4g protein -- 
<br>POINTS&reg; value 3 - 4* 
<br>
<br>Half the size of the "Small", but that's all you need. We like the vanilla a little 
<br>better than the chocolate, and it only has 150 calories and a POINTS&reg; value 
<br>of 3*. UM... SO WORTH IT!!!!   
<br>  
<br>       
<br> 
<br>Shockers! View B4 U Chew...
<br>
<br>Premium Fish Fillet Sandwich - 450 calories, 22g fat, 47g carbs, 1g fiber, 16g 
<br>protein -- POINTS&reg; value 11* 
<br>
<br>Premium, shmemium. This is just like any other fast food fish sandwich -- a 
<br>fried fillet slathered with fatty tartar sauce. 
<br>
<br>Southwest Taco Salad - 640 calories, 39g fat, 44g carbs, 9g fiber, 30g 
<br>protein -- POINTS&reg; value 15* 
<br>
<br>No amount of special ordering can save this sorry salad. Even if you ditch the 
<br>tortilla strips, sour cream, AND dressing, you're still left with 400 calories, 
<br>22g fat, a POINTS&reg; value of 9*, and the desire to back up through the drive-
<br>thru and return this fast food flub. 
<br>
<br>Baconator - 830 calories, 51g fat, 35g carbs, 1g fiber, 56g protein -- 
<br>POINTS&reg; value 21* 
<br>
<br>We're pretty sure you know that the Baconator is bad for you. This is just in 
<br>case you didn't realize quite how bad it actually is...
