We love eating keto at Wendy’s!

Wendy’s has so many delicious keto options on its menu! Plus, they’ve recently revamped their mobile app to make it much easier to figure out precise macros for your order. I love how you can simply open the app and modify the menu item to remove non-keto ingredients. The app will give you the exact breakdown of calories, fat, carbs, fiber, and more!

We’ve taken the guesswork out of it and are sharing our picks for the best keto items to order at Wendy’s! After all, when you’re on the go, it helps to have a little keto help from someone who’s been where you are when you’re wondering what to order.

The basics of successful Wendy’s keto ordering:

  • Avoid buns, tortilla chips, breading, croutons, and french fries.
  • When in doubt, leave condiments out.
  • For drinks, stick with water, black coffee, unsweetened iced tea, or Diet Coke products.
  • If the menu says “sugar-free”, check the nutrition just to be sure.
  • Download the free app for amazing deals: iPhone or Android

Wendy’s Keto Breakfast

“I’ll have the Breakfast Baconator please, without the bun…”

Wendy’s Keto Lunch & Dinner Options

“I’ll have the Baconator please, without the bun, or ketchup…”

The Baconator completes me. I still remember when this burger launched in 2007. I love it just as much today! Want more options? Oh, they have more.

I used Wendy’s mobile app to calculate the nutrition for their burgers by removing the bun and ketchup or sauce, if it is typically included on the burger.

Note, these burgers may still contain lettuce, tomatoes, onion, pickles, and sometimes mayo depending on which item you order. Those macros are listed individually below burger toppings for further consideration. You can possibly lose a carb or two by omitting mayo, tomatoes, and/or onions.

    Where did you find the nutrition information for the breakfast items? That’s been the only reason I haven’t tried their breakfast menu

  2. Emily Adams

    Does anyone know if the burgers are gluten free? My daughter has a gluten allergy and I can’t find it on the website. Obviously, without the bun.

    • Jennifer (Hip Sidekick)

      The is the only thing I can find about their actual hamburger patties: They contain ground beef, salt. HAMBURGER PATTIES ARE COOKED ON THE SAME GRILL AS AND MAY COME IN CONTACT WITH INGREDIENTS THAT CONTAIN MILK AND SOY.

      It does not show that they have wheat allergen ingredients. Hope this is helpful!

  3. Melissa

    I notice it says to order the parm grilled chix Caesar salad without the dressing but above it says the Caesar dressing is only 1 carb – am I reading that wrong?

    • Amber (Hip Sidekick)

      Hi Melissa! We still include the information on the dressings, so that you know their nutritional values if you would still like to add them. Hoping this helps!

  4. Joy

    I love having breakfast or lunch at Wendy’s !
    Grilled chicken lettuce wraps with extra spring mix no sauces add Munster cheese!
    And breakfast a breakfast baconator no bun!
    Delicious 😋 !

    • Amber (Hip Sidekick)

      Sounds yummy! Thanks for letting us know what you’ve enjoyed!
