Wendy’s square burgers are made with fresh beef, and its Frosty is a menu icon. A Dave’s Single, medium fries and a small Frosty come to about 1,340 kcal, so swapping the side or the dessert makes a big difference. This calculator holds 68 menu items – US menu, figures compiled in October 2023.

How it works
Each menu item carries its published calories and nutrients. The calculator multiplies them by the quantity you enter and adds the rows up. Your share of the day is total calories ÷ your daily target. Sodium is compared with the 2,300 mg daily limit and saturated fat with its 20 g Daily Value. Exercise time uses MET values from the Compendium of Physical Activities: brisk walking burns about 3.5 × 3.5 × weight ÷ 200 kcal per minute and running at 10 km/h about 9.8 × 3.5 × weight ÷ 200.
