Wendy's Chili

For those of us who love chili, Wendy's is good for us. One small makes 2 meals for me. Weny's Small Chili Size 8oz Calories 200 Total Fat 5g Sodium 870 mg Carbs 21 g Fiber 5 G Sugar 5 g Protein 17 g

Marla, Dumb question... are the stats you've listed for the total of the small size (8 oz.) or are they for 1/2 of a small (4 oz. serving). Thanks for your info. I love Wendy's chili and wondered if it was "safe" for me after I've had surgery. Vickie J.

same question here...

That is for the full 8oz, so you would half it for the 4 oz.

Vickie, that is for the whole size, 8oz per Wendy's web site. When your doctor gives you permission to eat "real food", you can try it. I only add one new food at a time. If it makes me sick, I know what it is and try again in a few weeks.

Marla, Thanks for the info! I'll have to remember to try that when I'm FINALLY a post-op!! Vickie J.

I assume that is without the added grated cheese that I always top my Wendy's chili off with. (I've never liked crackers in my chili) I make two meals out of the small chili,too. LuvitsunnyV@goal

The cheese another 70 calories and 4 g of protein.

My surgeon is over 2 hours from home. After my 8 week checkup I stopped at Wendy's and bought a small Chili. I stopped 3 times on the way home and ate some. When I got home I still had half of it left. Was sure an improvement on the other things I eaten early on. Now at 10 months post-op, down 118 pounds and have been at goal for 2 months.

Gary, congrats on your loss! It gives us newbies to post-op encouragement. I agree, the chili is great and a change from the plain food we eat as we work our way to goal.
