Wendys Nutrition Facts

Wendy's was first established in November of 1969. The founder, Dave Thomas wanted to create something new and different. But most important of all he wanted to create this using the freshest ingredients, served in the way that the customer wants it.

Quality was and still is at the top of their priorities list. This is where the line- 'Quality is our Recipe' came from.

In 1976 the 500th Wendy's restaurant was opened and just two years down the lane the 1000th restaurant opened. In line with wanting to provide healthy eating options for their customers Wendy's introduced a Salad Bar in November of 1979. For those who would wonder how to eat healthy on the go Fresh Salads To Go where introduced on the Wendy's menu in March 1992.

In March of 2002, Garden Sensations which include Mandarin Chicken, Chicken BLT, Taco Supreme and Spring Mix were introduced to the Wendy's menu. These salads are entree-sized. Once again, another opportunity for customers to eat healthy. July of 2006 saw Wendy's implementing the 0g trans fat scheme on most of their menu items. There however still are some menu items that contain trans fats, such as the Triple w/Everything and Cheese which has a high content of 3.5g. It therefore would not be advisable to eat such a meal everyday.

McDonald's nutrition facts and Subway nutrition facts have shown that they have also eliminated trans fat from their meals. But like Wendy's and most of the fast food outlets, there still will be some menu items which contain trans fat. One just needs to be careful when eating these foods. This is because trans fats increase the amount of bad cholesterol in our bodies which can then lead to heart diseases. We will now take a look at the nutrition facts off Wendy's menu.

The percent daily values (DV)/ recommended daily allowance (RDA) percentages in this article are based on a 2,000 calorie diet. The recommended limits for a 2,000 calorie a day diet are 20g saturated fat and 2,400mg sodium. Your daily values may be higher or lower depending on your calorie needs.
