Wendy&amp;#039;s Survival Guide When it comes to Wendy&amp;#039;s, we&amp;#039;re less than impressed with their Frescata sandwiches (which come served on over-caloried slabs of bread) and their fatty burgers and fish sandwiches. We are, however, huge fans of their salads &amp;#039;n sides. Read on\u2026 Lean Greens &amp;#039;n Mean Greens  The salads at Wendy&amp;#039;s can be super or super-scary, depending on how you order &amp;#039;em. Skip the Chicken BLT (650 calories, 44g fat) and the Southwest Taco salads (680 calories, 39g fat) altogether. With a few tweaks, the Mandarin Chicken Salad can come out a winner; nix the crispy noodles and swap the salad&amp;#039;s Oriental Sesame Dressing for some of the Fat Free French, and you&amp;#039;ll save 160 calories and 11 grams of fat. Then your yummy salad\u2014full of chicken, mandarin oranges, and roasted almonds\u2014will have just 360 calories and 14 grams of fat. Leave off the almonds if you like, and you&amp;#039;re only looking at 240 calories and 2.5 grams of fat! For a traditional grilled chicken salad with some tasty Parmesan and grape tomatoes tossed in, order the Chicken Caesar with no croutons and trade the Caesar dressing for that Fat Free French. Then that stellar salad will only cost you 250 calories and 6 grams of fat! (All salad nutritionals include a full serving of dressing.) The Dish on the Dressings Most of the dressing serving sizes are a hefty 2+ ounces, so if French isn&amp;#039;t your favorite flavor, you can easily save calories by simply cutting back on the amount you use. While the Fat Free French Style Dressing (80 calories) is your best bet, the Low Fat Honey Mustard (110 calories, 3g fat) isn&amp;#039;t a bad choice (but sadly, it&amp;#039;s only available at some stores). Two of the worst ones are the REGULAR Honey Mustard Dressing (280 calories, 26g fat) and the Creamy Ranch (230 calories, 23g fat). Most of the others have around 100\u2013200 calories and 10\u201320 grams of fat each. Super Sides  A small Chili (a not-so-small 8 ounces) has only 220 calories and 6 fat grams, without the added cheese and crackers. And an 80-calorie cup of mandarin oranges is awesome as a fat-free fruit fix. The Broccoli and Cheese Potato (typically horrifically high-cal at restaurants) has just 330 calories and 2g of fat.     Also try this HG trick: Order that potato minus the cheese but topped with chili, and you&amp;#039;ll have a delicious and filling stuffed lunch for only 370 calories and 3 grams of fat. Yes!
