Three complete Wendy's meals under 600 calories

Under 600, the most-protein entrée — the Parmesan Caesar Salad (Full), 480 cal — leaves 120 calories for a side. Entrée first, then a side, then a drink if there is room — the same greedy order the MinMax app uses (water unless a shake adds 10 g of protein). All 3 are the same as under 500: nothing between 500 and 600 calories beats them on their goal.
