And while you probably aren’t rolling up to the drive-thru because you’re craving something particularly healthy, it is a good idea to consider the impact of what you’re putting into your body. We’re certainly not against treating yourself to a greasy burger every now and then, but it never hurts to be informed about the risks of eating fast food on a regular basis. </p><nbtemplate data-id="AdPlaceholder" data-content="JTdCJTdE"></nbtemplate><p> That’s why we’ve rounded up a few of the worst menu items at Wendy’s, from triple burgers to fries. That way, next time you stop at this fast food chain, you’ll know exactly what to avoid if you want to go a <a href="https://www.shefinds.com/collections/dietitians-healthiest-menu-item-wendys/" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank"> healthier route </a> . </p><figure><img src="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?type=thumbnail_580x000&amp;url=11V1nh_0plUZ5vM00" alt="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=11V1nh_0plUZ5vM00" width="720" height="400" ><figcaption>Wendy's </figcaption></figure><h2> 1. Baconator </h2><p> This iconic bacon cheeseburger is undeniably mouthwatering. However, it probably goes without saying that the Baconator isn't great for your overall health. This burger features two hamburger patties topped with cheese and, of course, a whole lot of bacon. Bacon alone can pack in a concerning amount of sodium into your diet, and that's not the only <a href="https://www.shefinds.com/collections/high-fat-food-ruins-metabolism-bacon/" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank"> health risk </a> presented by this processed meat. Altogether, the Baconator contains 1540mg sodium, 960 calories, and 66g fat. You're better off choosing something else, especially if you're looking out for your heart. </p><nbtemplate data-id="AdPlaceholder" data-content="JTdCJTdE"></nbtemplate><figure><img src="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?type=thumbnail_580x000&amp;url=3Pi6dG_0plUZ5vM00" alt="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=3Pi6dG_0plUZ5vM00" width="720" height="550" ><figcaption>Wendy's </figcaption></figure><h2> 2. Loaded Nacho Triple Burger </h2><p> This is a new addition to the Wendy's menu. The <a href="https://www.shefinds.com/collections/wendys-loaded-nacho-sandwiches/" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank"> Loaded Nacho Triple Burger </a> hit Wendy's this summer. And with its jalapeno cheddar bun, queso, spicy chipotle sauce, and even tasty tortilla strips, it certainly sounds delicious. Unfortunately, it's not as great for your body as it is for your taste buds. This giant burger packs in 1280 calories, 87g fat, and a whopping 1930mg sodium. As <a class="external" href="http://nutritionbymandy.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer external nofollow" target="_blank"> Mandy Tyler, M.Ed., RD, CSSD, LD </a> told <a class="external" href="https://www.eatthis.com/unhealthiest-wendys-orders/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"> Eat This Not That, </a> "The&nbsp;American Heart Association recommends limiting daily sodium intake to no more than 2,300 milligrams, and this burger contains almost that full daily amount. Individuals would be much better off enjoying a single patty burger and then a healthy snack later in the day if still hungry." Noted! </p><nbtemplate data-id="AdPlaceholder" data-content="JTdCJTdE"></nbtemplate><figure><img src="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?type=thumbnail_580x000&amp;url=0uVt4P_0plUZ5vM00" alt="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=0uVt4P_0plUZ5vM00" width="720" height="400" ><figcaption>wendy's </figcaption></figure><h2> 3. Dave's Triple </h2><p> Although it's certainly a classic at Wendy's, the Dave's Triple cheeseburger is one you should consider skipping if you want to keep your body as healthy as possible. The three patties, all that cheese, and the fixings amount to 1,160 calories, 82 fat, and 1,610mg sodium. Yikes! If you consume that much sodium on a regular basis, you could be setting yourself up for a range of <a href="https://www.shefinds.com/collections/risks-of-too-much-salt/" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank"> health complications </a> , including heart disease. Maybe it's best to stick to a single burger. </p><nbtemplate data-id="AdPlaceholder" data-content="JTdCJTdE"></nbtemplate><figure><img src="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?type=thumbnail_580x000&amp;url=4OtE84_0plUZ5vM00" alt="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=4OtE84_0plUZ5vM00" width="720" height="300" ><figcaption>Wendy's </figcaption></figure><h2> 4. Chili Cheese Fries </h2><p> Trust us: we love fries as much as the next guy, and when you add cheese, they're definitely hard to resist. Throw chili on top, and you've got yourself a seriously tasty side dish to pair with your burger. Unfortunately, it's also seriously unhealthy. Coming in at 520 calories, 27g fat, and 1,330mg sodium, this could be a meal on its own (although it wouldn't be a very healthy one). When you combine it with another menu item, you could put yourself well over your recommended intake of calories and sodium. Plus, when you find out <a href="https://www.shefinds.com/collections/wendys-chili-questionable-ingredients/" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank"> how Wendy's chili is made </a> , you may just lose your appetite for these, anyway. </p><nbtemplate data-id="AdPlaceholder" data-content="JTdCJTdE"></nbtemplate></div></body>
