A Weight Loss Dietitian Reveals The ‘Best’ Thing To Order From Wendy’s For Losing Body Fat: ‘A Great Option’

If you’re trying to lose body fat but find yourself at a fast-food restaurant, you might think your options are limited. Joey, a weight loss dietitian, says that’s not the case—especially at Wendy’s. In a recent TikTok, he shared his go-to choice for a low-calorie, high-protein meal that supports fat loss.
“People often think that fast food automatically means high calories and weight gain,” Joey explains. “But there are plenty of options—you just need to know what to look for. The goal is high protein and lower calories. Protein helps preserve muscle and keeps you full, while fewer calories help you stay in a calorie deficit.”
While Wendy’s no longer offers its grilled chicken sandwich, Joey recommends their grilled chicken wraps as a smart alternative. Each wrap contains grilled chicken, cheddar cheese, lettuce, and a tortilla, totaling about 420 calories and 27 grams of protein. Joey suggests skipping the ranch dressing to bring it down to 370 calories while keeping the protein at 27 grams—a great calorie-to-protein ratio.
He notes that the fat content of this wrap is only 10 grams, giving you more than double the protein compared to fat—a key metric for staying full and supporting fat loss.
