Wendy's, the fast-food chain known for its "old-fashioned hamburgers," is the third-largest restaurant chain in the world. Unlike some popular restaurants, Wendy's makes its nutritional information public, so you never have to worry about what's in that burger.
Burgers and Fries
The most fattening of Wendy's burgers is the Triple Baconator, with 1,360 calories, 91 g of fat and 2,490 mg of sodium. On the lighter side, a Junior Hamburger has 230 calories, 8 g of fat and 480 mg of sodium. If you can't have a burger without fries, a small order contains 340 calories, 17 g of fat and 280 mg of sodium. A large order of fries contains almost double those numbers, with 550 calories, 27 g of fat and 450 mg of sodium.
