I actually thought Wendy's was moving towards a healthier path. They have some really good choices on their menu. However, I was reading InStyle magazine this month and saw a full page plus advertisement for their new Chunky Chicken Salad Frescata. It bothered me, because it looked like they were pitching it as a healthy option. Is it bad or unhealthy? Well, it's not terrible, but I just felt as if they painted it with a health halo—it is not. Anyway, just a warning, it has 460 calories, 16g of fat, and 49g of carbs. If it’s all you have for lunch, and you’re full after eating it—great. But if you start adding extras, and/or you’re not satisfied after eating-then it’s a problem. The good news is that Wendy's let's you customize so you can skip the cheese, and fries. Also take a peek at the ingredients below.
