A full Impossible Whopper has about 630 calories, but splitting it or customizing it works even better. Ask for no mayo or eat just half with a side salad to lower the total. The soy-based patty packs in 25 grams of protein, which makes it surprisingly filling for a plant-based option.

This one’s basic and dependable. The 6-inch turkey sandwich is just 280 calories before extras. Load it up with spinach, onions, banana peppers, and cucumbers, and you’ll bulk up the meal without adding much to the count. A slice of cheese or avocado still keeps it well within the range.

Wendy’s Cobb Salad is calorie-dense with dressing, but without it, it is around 500–600 calories. Bacon, grilled chicken, egg, and cheese provide protein and fat to keep you satisfied. Add a small apple or iced tea, and you still won’t hit 800.
