Several weeks ago I had lunch at Wendy's and decided to try a salad there. Although I do have salads a bunch I am sometime leary of some fast food salads because the dressings and toppings can have some carbs that sneak in. I searched Wendy's menu for something that would feel safe and healthy and the Spicy Chicken Caesar Salad jumped out. Now I only went off the name and in most cases ceasar salads would be totally safe. Caesar dressing is low in carbs so I should be in the clear. I placed my order.
I should have thought about it. Wendys spicy chicken sandwich is breaded. That means assuming they use the same spicy chicken, it's probably going to be breaded on my salad. I guess I thought maybe the dressing was spicy. I was very wrong. Although its not a horrible salad and could be much worse as I avoided the croutons, it still has more carbs then most of us would want to consume. If you are maintaining, you'll probably be ok, but in induction you better watch out. If you order it just tell them you want grilled chicken. You will be fine.
