By cutting the cranberry-raising topping, you will have ordered yourself a meal that is high in protein, vitamin C, Iron, calcium and fiber with half the sugar it would have originally contained. Cutting the cranberry-raisin blend will not lead to the dish losing taste because it would still have the brown sugar and cream.

McDonald’s Egg McMuffin

Skipping the cheese and salted butter will help you avoid half the fat and avoiding the bacon will help you avoid nitrites.

Wendy’s Baked Potato

Although the cheese sauce makes the potato delicious, to order healthy, you will need to skip it. The sauce contains a lot of sodium, calories and added fat. You should instead order a potato loaded with broccoli. For taste, you can add some pepper and salt. Do not forget to eat the skin.

Wendy’s Grilled Chicken Wrap

This wrap is an alternative to the sandwich. It not only has fewer carbohydrates but it also contains only 270 calories and 20 grams of proteins. When ordering it, avoid the cheese and smoky honey mustard sauce to cut down on the sodium and fat.
