How to order high-protein at Wendy's

Two things carry the Wendy's high-protein menu: the Baconator (57g of protein) and, quietly, the small Chili — 20g of protein for just 240 calories, the best protein-per-calorie side in fast food. Adding a chili to any burger is the easiest way to push protein up without a second sandwich. The Grilled Chicken Sandwich (34g protein, 350 calories) is the leanest high-protein main. Skip the Frosty when protein is the goal — it's mostly sugar.
