Stay away from Wendy's chili. According to a Reddit thread, mutiple Wendy's employees weighed in and warned customers not to order the chili off of the Wendy's menu.

This drive-thru ordering tip is good to remember, especially since you may have been ordering the hot dish if you're on a diet. It's no secret that there are limited "healthy" selections at fast food chains, but some options, such as Wendy's chili, are in fact low in calories.

The Wendy's chili is actually only just 170 calories for a small cup serving. A large cup of the chili is still pretty healthy coming in at just 250 calories. However, you should definitely look toward other menu items to find a fresher alternative at Wendy's. For instance, Wendy's grilled chicken sandwich has 34 grams of protein and is 370 calories.
