Wendy's, a fast food chain restaurant that operates stores globally, opened its first location in Columbus, Ohio, in 1969. In a 2010 report that ranks 500 of the top chain restaurants by revenue, Wendy's was in fifth place.

Black Iced Coffee

A small, plain coffee at Wendy's has no calories. Served chilled, black coffee poured over ice does not change the calorie content.

Milk

There is a significant difference between adding cream or milk to your ice coffee. One tablespoon of half and half contains 20 calories, according to the USDA National Nutrient Database. One fluid ounce, or 2 tbsp., of whole milk has 18 calories, while reduced fat milk has 14 calories.

Sweetener

Sugar also increases the calories of your iced coffee. One packet of ordinary, granulated sugar has 11 calories. A sugar substitute like Splenda contains 3 calories per packet.

Decaf

Iced decaf coffee, at zero calories, has the same nutritional content as regular ice coffee. Also like regular coffee, adding cream and sugar will increase your calorie intake.
