** I was looking over some nutritional stats at a few fast food restaurants and I noticed that lots of places are including stats not only for sandwiches and salads, but also for the component pieces of these items, which is awesome!  If you click here and scroll to page 6, you'll see what I'm talking about.

I was very excited to see that a crispy chicken patty from Wendy's has 200 calories, 12 net carbs and 11 grams of protein, which makes it an okay choice, as far as meals on the run go.  It's not often that I get a craving for something breaded and fried, but when I do this will be my new go to.  Order the crispy chicken sandwich, make sure to get some extra lettuce, and toss the bread.  Steer clear of the home style and spicy chicken filets which pack a few extra carbs.
