Wendy's has announced that they will be replacing hydrogenated oils with a blend of corn and soy oil for making fries and chicken. Checking out the nutrition facts at Wendy's suggests that fries and chicken are the big sources of trans-fats. Considering all of the bad press surrounding trans fats, this seems like a no-brainer, right?
Well, here comes the siren of the food police.
A biggie fries has 490 calories, 28 grams of fat, and 5 grams of saturated fat. The homestyle chicken filet has 540 calories, 22 grams of fat and 4 grams of saturated fat. Cutting out the trans fats is a great start for your heart, but these foods still contain a lot of TOTAL fat. I'm not saying give up fried chicken or french fries--but cut back on them a little. Don't pretend that getting trans-fats in fries down makes fried foods health foods.
I preach moderation. I love that Wendy's has changed the menu so that you can get a baked potato, water, and salad as sides instead of fries and a soda. That's super-duper. Try doing a baked potato and chili when you hit Wendy's--and have that burger and fries as a treat once in a while.
