Lower-calorie, lower-fat offerings include a Mandarin Chicken Salad with 180 calories and 2 gm fat, Chicken Caesar Salad with 180 calories and 4 gm fat, Jr. Hamburger with 220 calories and 8 gm fat, Grilled Chicken Go Wrap with 250 calories and 10 gm fat, and a large or small Chili with 280 or 190 calories, and 9 or 6 gm fat, respectively.

Less-healthy fare includes the Triple (burger) with Cheese with 970 calories and 60 gm fat (close to the daily maximum fat recommended for an adult), the Baconator burger with 830 calories and 51 gm fat, and the Double (burger) with Cheese with 700 calories and 40 gm fat.

To make any salad healthier, request the 70-calorie Fat Free French dressing or the 90-calorie Light Classic Ranch or Balsamic Vinaigrette.
