Three complete Wendy's meals under 400 calories
Under 400, the most-protein meal is built on the Double Stack (380 cal), which leaves 20 calories for its sides and drink. One meal-sized entrée, up to two different sides and a drink — the MinMax app's meal and the best under the cap, drink included (water only where no published drink fits; the lightest meal takes a zero-calorie drink, or water). The lightest meal is unchanged from under 300; the others use the extra 100 calories.
