Pick the best Wendy’s side to round out your meal
Both of these are small portions, but plenty big enough to satisfy you along with a healthy sandwich or salad. Chili contains beans and meat–which both contain some fat and a decent amount of calories. A kids’ size fry is about half the size of a medium. So which side is lower in fat and calories–8 ounces of chili, or just over 3 ounces of fries?

You may or may not have heard before, but Wendy’s Chili is touted as one of the healthiest drive-thru options around. Packed with 17 grams of lean protein and 5 grams of fiber, this small chili will keep you full and your energy running high for about 220 calories and only 6 grams of fat. The tike-sized fries don’t pack much nutrition, but do pack about 280 calories and more than twice the fat of the chili (14 grams). For a healthy, filling meal, you can even order up. A large chili contains just 330 calories.
