One burger covers 29% of a day's calories
The standard serving is one burger weighing 215 g, and it lands at 576 kcal. That is 29% of the daily value for calories, with 29.4 g of protein, or 59% of the protein daily value. These are USDA fast-food values for the Wendy's sandwich, so treat them as a solid estimate rather than a reading of your exact burger.
The total moves fastest when the order doubles. Two burgers weigh 430 g and come to 1,152 kcal with 58.9 g of protein. Three reach 1,729 kcal, and five, the kind of count you hit when ordering for a group, add up to 2,881 kcal across 1,075 g.
The burger itself is rarely the whole meal. Fries, a shake or a regular soda can push the tray well past the sandwich, so the burger number is the floor, not the total. If you are counting, log the sides separately instead of guessing one combined figure.
Fat supplies over half the calories
The calorie split is 53% fat, 26% carbs and 20% protein. Per 100 g that works out to 15.8 g of fat, 17.7 g of carbs and 13.7 g of protein. The beef patty and cheese carry most of that fat; the bun carries most of the carbs.
Across the full burger you get 34 g of fat, 38.1 g of carbs and 29.4 g of protein. Saturated fat sits at 5.7 g per 100 g, which is a sizable share of the fat total. Fiber is low at 2.4 g per burger, and sugars reach 9.7 g, mostly from the bun and sauces.
So this is a protein-decent, fat-heavy sandwich. The protein is real, but it comes packaged with more fat calories than protein calories, roughly two and a half times as many. If protein is your goal, the burger delivers it; if you want protein without much fat, it is an expensive route.
Sodium is the row to watch
One burger carries 1,017 mg of sodium, which is 44% of the daily value. Per 100 g that is 473 mg, or 21%. For a single item, that is a large slice of a day's allowance, and it arrives before any salted fries.
Doubling up changes the picture sharply. Two burgers bring 2,034 mg of sodium, close to the full daily value on their own. Three reach 3,051 mg, and five come to 5,085 mg, well beyond what the daily value allows.
If you watch sodium, the burger is the place to make your trade. Choose an unsalted side or water instead of salty fries, and keep the rest of the day's meals lighter on processed foods. The other rows are less dramatic: cholesterol is 51 mg and potassium 208 mg per 100 g.
Skipping condiments trims little
USDA lists a plain version with no condiments at 182 g and 564 kcal, which is 28% of the daily value. Fat drops to 29.1 g and sodium to 875 mg, or 38% of the daily value. That is a modest saving, not a different meal.
This plain figure comes from a separate USDA row, so not every number falls in step. It shows 31.5 g of protein and 43.8 g of carbs, slightly higher than the standard burger. Read it as a sign that the patty and bun drive the totals, while ketchup, mayo and pickles add only a small amount.
The more useful lever is what goes around the burger. Pair it with a side salad, fruit or a plain drink and the meal stays near the sandwich number. If you want a quick record, BodyPal can log the burger from a photo so you can see the day's total before deciding on dessert.
How does Dave's Single compare?
Here is how the Dave's Single stacks up against other fast-food staples, per 100 g and per usual serving.

For more protein per bite, the bacon cheeseburger offers 17.3 g per 100 g against 13.7 g, at 564 kcal per sandwich.
