Bun-lieve It or Not: Eating Low-Carb at Wendy's

Ditch the Bun, Not the Fun

The first rule of low-carb Wendy's: the bun is the enemy. Yes, I said it. Those fluffy clouds of deliciousness are what stand between you and your low-carb goals. But fret not, because beneath that bready dome lies a world of flavor waiting to be unleashed. Ask for your burger "protein style" or "no bun," and Wendy's will happily present your patty in all its naked glory, ready for you to devour with a fork and knife (or your bare hands, we don't judge).

Lettuce Wrap It Up, Baby!

Feeling fancy? Skip the fork and knife altogether and opt for a lettuce wrap. Wendy's will replace that pesky bun with a cool, refreshing lettuce leaf, creating a handheld low-carb masterpiece. Just be prepared for some potential lettuce-projectile mishaps – that's the price you pay for looking this good on the low-carb scene.

Salads: Not Just for Rabbits Anymore

Wendy's salads are surprisingly low-carb friendly, especially if you take control of the toppings. Skip the croutons and sugary dressings (looking at you, Honey Mustard), and opt for a vinaigrette or oil and vinegar. Add grilled chicken for protein, and you've got a satisfying, low-carb meal that won't leave you hangry. Pro tip: the Southwest Avocado Chicken Salad is already pretty low-carb and comes fully loaded with deliciousness.

Remember: When in doubt, ask! The friendly folks at Wendy's are usually happy to accommodate your low-carb needs.
