- Don't get fries. Period.
- Instead of soda, get water or unsweetened tea. The artificial sweeteners in diet drinks can really screw with your hunger and metabolism - avoid like the plague (ask me how I know).
- Get a salad. Don't get a creamy (fatty) dressing like Ranch. Instead, get a vinaigrette like Italian.
- When given the choice, get grilled chicken instead of crispy.
- On a sandwich (burger, etc.), ask for no cheese and no sauce or mayo. Add ketchup or mustard if needed instead.
- Breads, sweets, and fats will often contribute to the calorie count quickly without actually filling you up. If there's an item without much of those, go for it. Wendy's chili is a good option.
