What I had for dinner at Wendy's...

[disnygoof]

I'm so excited, I just wanted to share! I'd heard about Wendy's "Lighter Side" menu on the radio and decided to try it tonight. I know they have these foods all the time but now they've made it so easy to just order a combo. I had the "A" combo (I guess they use letters so as to not confuse them with the "fat ladden combos, haha) and here's what was in it:

Grilled Chicken Sandwich (6 points)
300 calories, 7g fat, 2g fiber

Side Salad w/ FF French Dressing (2 points)
115 calories, 0g fat, 3 g fiber

Diet Coke (0 points)
0 calories, 0g fat, 0 fiber

I'm glad fast food restaurants are recognizing us WW'ers and people just watching their food intake more and more. Anything to make our lives easier works for me!

Onward and downward I go!

I'm glad the FF industry is making it easier for WWs, too. Now, if they would pay attention to all of those refined carbohydrates they wrap around that perfectly good fat and meat, <i>I</i> would be happy too

I just throw the bun away and it's funny to see the looks on their faces when I do it.

LOL Kath! Same here!!

That is great, Christiana!! I am glad that you WW are able to get something fast and within points now!!

You need to come to Nashville. A local restaurant just added an entire page (listing over 20 items) of low carb Atkins friendly foods to their menu!! Even though I don't use the Atkins WOE, I am quite impressed with this eatery.

LOL, my Dad does Atkins and it's so funny to see him ask for a big bacon classic at Wendy's but ask for it in a potato bowl, hehe. They're like "what?" and then he says "I'm on Atkins" and they get this look of understanding on their face and say "oh!"

I think someone should open a chain of FF joints for Atkins folks. There are tons of you guys and they would make a killing!

Try asking for a burger or chicken without the BUN! They always give such strange looks......

That's great! I could feel your excitement in your post!! Thank Goodness the fast-food places are finally noticing that not everyone wants that (ok, so maybe we want it but we don't dare eat it , LOL) fattening food! Finally we have alternatives. It's about time!! :O)

When I order at FF I always get rid of 1/2 of the bun and fold my burger in half! My kids think I'm nuts. Just remember when you eat that Wendy's grilled chicken to get it with just lettuce and tomatoes..none of that Mayo or sauce on it.

Christiana,
Thanks for posting, I didn't even know that Wendy's had this option! I really hope the other's follow suit. Wendy's also has great salads. I really enjoy them!
