“Smart Swaps!” are simple ways for you to make switches among the foods you already enjoy — and at restaurants you already visit — to cut major calories.
Today’s swap takes us to Wendy’s:
The Frescata sandwiches at Wendy’s just “sound” healthy, don’t they? But, a quick look at how the Roasted Turkey & Swiss Frescata meal’s calorie count adds up and you’ll be thinking twice: The sandwich, medium fries and a medium regular soda totes up to 1,100 calories, which could easily amount to half if not two-thirds of one person’s daily calorie needs.
Make a few simple subs by enjoying a different meal, and you’ll cut your calorie intake in half:
Simply choose an Ultimate Grill Chicken Sandiwch, which just happens to be the healthiest sandwich available on the Wendy’s menu, instead and you’ve already reduced some serious calorie-spending. Swap those fries for a side salad with reduced fat ranch dressing and sip an iced tea instead of a soda. The calorie count? Just 540 calories for your entire meal! Now, that’s a great calorie-budgeting deal!
