At Wendy's: Modified Hamburger + Sides Unsurprisingly, youre going to need to get a little creative at Wendy'sbut you can get a decent meal. Start with a David's Single or Double Hamburger, sans the cheese, pickles, or any sauces. Then, ditch the bun, so you've got plain patty, lettuce, tomato, and onion. Order a plain baked potato (you can top it with cut-up burger and veggies for kicks) and an order of apple bites to round things out. Wendy's
At McDonald's: Modified Quarter Pounder + Salad Your strategy at McD's is pretty similar to your Wendy's game plan. Ask for a completely plain Quarter Pounder. Then, ditch the bun. You can slice it up and enjoy it over a side saladjust skip the dressing, Keatley says. (Suddenly, traveling with oil and vinegar seems like a necessary thing.) You can also tack on an order of apple slices to add to the salad. McDonald's
