Buffalo Wild Wings

*UPDATE BWW finally has their nutrition up! YUS. The only weird thing is they do not have macros for the wings by themselves, just wings with “ave sauce” which is crazy high in fat. Correct me if I’m wrong, though, and I will add wings. 🙂

I chose the items with the best macros that I thought would taste the best, but honestly there are SO many macro-friendly options at this restaurant I would recommend looking at the entire nutrition list if you’re not in a rush.

For a side, I recommend Lettuce Wraps (30kcal: 0F/6C/2P) or a small salad (34cal: 0F/7C/2P) instead of rice or noodles (as both are relatively high in carbs).

  1. Sweet and Sour Small with Chicken (steamed) – 290kcal: 3F/42C/24P
