Wendy's Small Chili VS


Wendy's Kids' size French Fries


Scroll Down to See The WinnerPick the best Wendy's side to round out your mealBoth of these are small portions, but plenty big enough to satisfy you along with a healthy sandwich or salad. Chili contains beans and meat--which both contain some fat and a decent amount of calories. A kids' size fry is about half the size of a medium. So which side is lower in fat and calories--8 ounces of chili, or just over 3 ounces of fries?

The Low-Cal WinnerWendy's Small Chili

You may or may not have heard before, but Wendy's Chili is touted as one of the healthiest drive-thru options around. Packed with 17 grams of lean protein and 5 grams of fiber, this small chili will keep you full and your energy running high for about 220 calories and only 6 grams of fat. The tike-sized fries don't pack much nutrition, but do pack about 280 calories and more than twice the fat of the chili (14 grams). For a healthy, filling meal, you can even order up. A large chili contains just 330 calories. Related Links SparkPeople's Diet & Nutrition Message boards Share Your Reaction to this Showdown on SparkPeople's Message Boards
