Wendy's Nutrition Facts: Calories, Protein & Allergens (2026)

Where does Wendy's nutrition information come from?

Every number on this page comes from Wendy's own nutrition data, the same figures its online ordering menu shows for each item and size. We pulled them on Oct. 31, 2026.

Wendy's attaches a few caveats to that data, and they matter:

• Figures are based on standard recipes and can vary with suppliers, ingredient swaps, how a restaurant assembles the item and the season.
• Drink numbers assume a standard amount of ice.
• Salad calories do not include dressing.
• Wendy's uses 2,000 calories a day as a general reference, while noting that needs vary.

Wendy's data lists calories, fat, saturated fat, trans fat, sodium, sugars, fiber and protein, plus allergen flags for each item. The charts below focus on calories and protein, with sodium where it stands out. Prices for these items are on our main Wendy's menu page.

How many calories are in Wendy's burgers?

Wendy's burgers run from 230 calories for a Jr. Hamburger to 1,140 for a Big Bacon Classic Triple. Each extra quarter-pound patty adds roughly 250 to 290 calories and about 20 grams of protein.

The Dave's line shows that step clearly: a Dave's Single has 560 calories, a Double 810 and a Triple 1,100. The Baconator, with two patties and six strips of bacon, lands at 890 calories and 59 grams of protein. Its smaller sibling, the Son of Baconator, has 590.

If you want a burger under 400 calories, stick to the value list: Jr. Hamburger (230), Jr. Cheeseburger (270), Jr. Cheeseburger Deluxe (330), Jr. Bacon Cheeseburger (350) or Double Stack (380). The Double Stack gives you 23 grams of protein for those 380 calories, the best ratio of those five. Full prices and toppings are on our Dave's Single and Baconator page.

How many calories are in Wendy's chicken sandwiches and nuggets?

A Wendy's Spicy Chicken Sandwich has 560 calories and 28 grams of protein, and the Classic Chicken Sandwich has 550. Ten crispy chicken nuggets have 430 calories, and ten spicy nuggets have 470.

The smaller chicken items are easier on calories. The Crispy Chicken Sandwich on the value menu has 340 calories, and a 4-piece nugget order has 170 (190 spicy). The 6-piece has 260 crispy or 280 spicy.

For protein, the tenders stand out. Three tenders have 420 calories and 33 grams of protein, and four have 560 calories and 44 grams. That beats both premium chicken sandwiches on protein per calorie. The Grilled Chicken Wrap has 420 calories and 28 grams of protein.

Watch the sodium on chicken. The Classic Chicken Sandwich carries 1,630 mg and the Spicy 1,500 mg, and the Asiago Ranch Club sandwiches run 1,700 to 1,830 mg. Dipping sauces are extra on top of every figure here. More detail, including sizes and prices, is on our Wendy's chicken nuggets page.

How many calories are in Wendy's fries, sides and Frosty desserts?

A small order of Wendy's fries has 260 calories, a medium 350 and a large 470. The junior size, which comes in Biggie Deals, has 210.

Loaded fries add a lot. Baconator Fries have 450 calories, Cheese Fries 470 and Chili Cheese Fries 510, all for a single serving. If you want a side that does more for you, chili is the standout: a small has 280 calories and 19 grams of protein, and a large 370 calories and 25 grams. A plain baked potato has 270 calories, no fat and 7 grams of fiber before toppings.

For dessert, a Classic Frosty has 190 calories in junior size, 310 small, 390 medium and 510 large. Frosty Fusions with mix-ins climb fast: a medium Cookie Dough Frosty Fusion has 740 calories.

Drinks count too. A small Coca-Cola has 180 calories and a large 320, and a large Strawberry Lemonade has 430. Diet Coke, Coca-Cola Zero Sugar, unsweetened cold brew and hot coffee are all 40 calories or less. See our Wendy's fries and Frosty guides for prices by size.

How do you calculate calories for a Wendy's meal?

Add up the item numbers: Wendy's does not post one total for a combo, because your side and drink choices change it. Here are common orders worked out with Wendy's own figures.

• $7.99 Dave's Single combo (small fries, small Coca-Cola): 560 + 260 + 180 = 1,000 calories.
• Baconator combo, medium size (medium fries, medium Coca-Cola): 890 + 350 + 250 = 1,490 calories.
• Biggie Bag with a Jr. Cheeseburger (4-piece nuggets, junior fries, small Coca-Cola): 270 + 170 + 210 + 180 = 830 calories.
• Spicy Chicken Sandwich combo with Diet Coke (small fries): 560 + 260 + 0 = 820 calories.
• Large chili and a plain baked potato: 370 + 270 = 640 calories and 32 grams of protein.

The drink is the easiest place to cut. Swapping a medium Coca-Cola for Diet Coke or Coca-Cola Zero Sugar saves 250 calories without changing the food.

Does Wendy's have an allergen menu?

Wendy's flags allergens for every item in its online ordering menu, so that works as its allergen menu. Milk, egg, wheat and soy are the common ones, and Wendy's says shared prep areas make cross-contact possible on any item.

A few patterns from Wendy's allergen data:

• Burgers list milk, egg and wheat, and most also list soy. The potato bun's ingredient statement names sesame too, so read the full ingredients, not just the allergen icons, if sesame matters to you.
• Nuggets and tenders list wheat. Wendy's ingredient statement for its tenders adds that they are cooked in the same oil as items containing wheat, milk and fish.
• Classic Frosty lists milk; Wendy's notes soy applies only in Alaska and Hawaii. Frosty Fusions and Brownie Batter Swirls add wheat.
• Parmesan Caesar Salad lists fish, and the Apple Pecan Salad lists tree nuts.
• Plain fries, Apple Bites and the plain baked potato carry no major allergen flags in the data.

Allergen flags can change with suppliers, so always check the item in the app before you order. If an allergy is serious, ask the restaurant directly.

Is anything at Wendy's gluten free?

Wendy's does not label any menu item gluten free. Some items carry no wheat flag in its allergen data, but the chain warns that shared kitchen equipment makes cross-contact possible.

Items with no wheat flag in Wendy's October 2026 data include the plain, Sour Cream and Chive, Cheese and Bacon Cheese baked potatoes, plain fries, Baconator Fries, Cheese Fries, the Classic Chocolate and Vanilla Frosty, Apple Bites, Seasoned Potatoes, the Taco Salad and the Apple Pecan Salad. Wendy's chili on its own is flagged for wheat, even though some chili-topped items are not, so check each item rather than assuming.

Remember that fries and breaded chicken can share fryer oil, and Wendy's says as much for its tenders. A missing wheat flag is not the same as a gluten-free promise. Check the current item in the app, since recipes change.
