    When I'm on the go and haven't prepared a meal to take with me, I pull out my Keto Wendy's Menu Guide and start hunting for something tasty!

    I may be biased because I worked at a Wendy's when I was in high school, but I feel as though there are some great menu items available that won't ruin your progress with Keto.

    Eating fast food is not ideal, but it sure does make the low carb lifestyle a lot easier to maintain.

    Overview of Keto Wendy's Menu

    For the most part, ordering low carb at Wendy's is a lot like navigating the menu at McDonald's.

    Your options will likely be a sandwich without the bun or a salad.

    When you ask for "no bun please," your order will come in a plastic container, complete with a fork and knife. It's such a convenient Keto-friendly option on the go!

    If you'd rather have your sandwich wrapped in a lettuce wrap, you can request that too.

    * Values below are based on nutrition information from Wendy's. Values may differ or change.

    Breakfast

    Wendy's recently rolled out their breakfast menu nationwide and it is delicious! Try ordering one of these breakfast sandwiches without the bread to keep your carbs low:

    • Breakfast Baconator (no bun): 560 calories, 47g fat, 6g carbs, 29g protein
    • Sausage, Egg and Cheese (no bun): 370 calories, 33g fat, 3g carbs, 17g protein
    • Bacon, Egg and Cheese (no bun): 190 calories, 15g fat, 2g carbs, 13g protein

    Breakfast sides

    • Strawberries: 20 calories, 0g fat, 5g carbs, 1g fiber, 0g protein
    • Bacon (side): 60 calories, 4g fat, 1g carbs, 4g protein
    • Sausage patty: 240 calories, 22g fat, 2g carbs, 9g protein

    Meats

    Did you know that you can order meat individually without ordering a full sandwich?

    • Jr. Hamburger patty (plain with no bun): 120 calories, 8g fat, 0g carbs, 10g protein
    • Single Hamburger patty (plain with no bun): 240 calories, 18g fat, 1g carbs, 20g protein
    • Grilled Chicken Breast (plain with no bun): 130 calories, 2g fat, 0g carbs, 29g protein
    • Applewood Smoked Bacon (1 strip): 30 calories, 2g fat, 0g carbs, 2g protein

    You can also add additional patties to your burger to score a good price.

    Wendy's Baconator With No Bun

    Baconator from Wendy's with no bun is Keto-friendly and satisfying!

    Keto Wendy's Bunless Sandwiches

    Be default, the burgers at Wendy's come with sliced cheese, even when ordered plain. Be sure to specify if you would like yours without.

    • Single (plain with no bun): 320 calories, 25g fat, 3g carbs, 24g protein
    • Double (plain with no bun): 570 calories, 42g fat, 4g carbs, 43g proteinKeto Wendy's
    • Triple (plain with no bun): 850 calories, 63g fat, 6g carbs, 65g protein
    • Baconator (plain with no bun): 680 calories, 51g fat, 5g carbs, 52g protein
    • Son of Baconator (plain with no bun): 400 calories, 30g fat, 2g carbs, 29g protein
    • Big Bacon Classic (plain with no bun): 380 calories, 29g fat, 3g carbs, 28g protein

    • Double Stack (plain with no bun): 260 calories, 19g fat, 1g carbs, 20g protein

    Chicken

    The lowest carb chicken sandwich at Wendy's is the grilled chicken breast. While the homestyle and spicy chicken may be tempting, they have too many carbs for Keto, even without the bun.

    • Grilled Chicken Sandwich (plain with no bun): 130 calories, 2g fat, 0g carbs, 29g protein
    • Grilled Asiago Ranch Club (no bun): 330 calories, 19g fat, 3g carbs, 1g fiber, 38g protein

    • Spicy Chicken Nuggets (4 piece): 190 calories, 12g fat, 9g carbs, 1g fiber, 10g protein

    Promotional and Seasonal Sandwiches

    One thing I really enjoy at Wendy's is the seasonal promotional offers. While the sandwiches are very similar (if not the same) than previous years, they are typically only offered for a limited time during the year.

    • Bacon Jalapeno Grilled Chicken (no bun or onions): 320 calories, 18g fat, 3g carbs, 36g protein
    • Grilled Avocado BLT Chicken (no bun): 420 calories, 27g fat, 6g carbs, 2g fiber, 39g protein
    • Barbecue Grilled Chicken (no bun or onions): 250 calories, 8g fat, 10g carbs, 34g protein
    • Grilled Jalapeno Popper Chicken (no bun): 290 calories, 15g fat, 4g carbs, 36g protein

    Keep reading to see which salad dressings are lowest in carbs at Wendy's.

    Keto Wendy's Menu: Southwest Avocado Chicken Salad At Wendy's

    Salad Dressings

    • Caesar Dressing: 80 calories, 8g fat, 1g carbs, 1g protein
    • Southwest Ranch Dressing: 80 calories, 8g fat, 2g carbs, 1g protein
    • Champagne Vinaigrette: 60 calories, 3g fat, 7g carbs, 0g protein

    The other salad dressings have way too many grams of carbs and are not a great choice for a ketogenic diet.

    Beverages

    If you decide to order the lemonade, be sure to specify that you'd like the Minute Maid brand. This one is sugar-free and very low in calories.

    Wendy's also makes fresh lemonade that is packed with sugar, so don't confuse the two.

    • Diet Coke, Coke Zero, Unsweetened Iced Tea: 0 calories, 0g fat, 0 carbs, 0g protein
    • Minute Maid Light Lemonade: 10 calories, 0g fat, 0g carbs, 0g protein
    • Cold Brew Iced Coffee (small): 15 calories, 0g fat, 3g carbs, 1g protein
    • Cold Brew Iced Coffee (large): 25 calories, 0g fat, 5g carbs, 1g protein

    Is the Chili at Wendy's suitable for a Keto Diet?

    The chili at Wendy's is not especially Keto-friendly, but it can be a decent option depending on the amount of carbs you are able to consume.

    A small Wendy's chili is 240 calories and 14g net carbs per serving.

    If you do decide to enjoy a cup of chili, try adding sour cream or shredded cheese to make it even more satiating.

      Do the analyses for plain burger no bun include the cheese you say that will still include? I ordered a big bacon classic no bun, and they gave it with cheese but no condiments.

        Yes, they include the cheese.

      What about the chili? Love that stiff

      • Dom Geracia

        June 26, 2020 at 5:25 pm

        Me too! It's about 14g of carbs for a small cup. So long as it fits into your daily carb limit, I don't see any reason why you couldn't enjoy it occasionally.

      When I'm strapped for time I usually get either a Daves double or triple, no bun, no onion, no tomato. Done!

        Sounds delish! I'm not a fan of their onions.

        Thank you for sharing! We haven’t ate fast food for years and lately we’ve been considering our favorite chain, Wendy’s. Will need to check these items out. Thanks for the info!

      Is the new bacon chicken avacado with no bun considered low carb/Keto

      • Dom Geracia

        January 29, 2020 at 9:25 am

        Should be as long as you get the grilled chicken!

      I normally get the jr bacon cheeseburger (bunless), but that baconator looks awesome so I might have to get that..or just two jr cheeseburgers put together. 🙂 Thanks for this article. Interesting seeing the stats.

      This was quite helpful! I had no idea Wendy’s could be so accommodating. Game changer!

      I doubt the nutrition content provided here for Mayonnaise as it does include HFCS and Corn syrup clearly specified.

      • Dom Geracia

        January 26, 2019 at 7:58 am

        So does bacon typically and they're still considered zero carbs. When the label reads 0g carbs, this means that there was less than 0.5 grams carbs and by law, they don't have to round up.
