Conclusion
Wendy’s does not have a nutrition calculator on their website. This means that we can’t tell you exactly how many carbs you’ll be eating if you take our advice. Many other restaurants display the nutritional information on their menus, which makes it easier for dieters.
However, Wendy’s has several burgers, chicken sandwiches, and salads that can fit into your low-carb diet every once and awhile. Major ticket items to avoid are bread and sauces. Feel free to order unsweetened iced tea or unsweetened coffee or iced coffee.
