What the Numbers Say
Protein is the headline figure here: 59 grams, which is 118 percent of a 50 gram daily reference from one item. Sodium is the number to watch: 1,580 mg is 69 percent of a 2,300 mg day before anything else goes on the tray. Saturated fat reaches 24 grams, 120 percent of a day's reference in a single item.
How It Compares on the Hamburgers Menu
The next cheapest thing on the hamburgers menu is the Pretzel Bacon Pub Triple Cheeseburger at $7.59, so you are paying $0.10 more and 540 fewer calories for this one. Step up $0.20 and you are at the Big Bacon Classic Double for $7.89.
Protein per dollar on the Baconator lands close to the middle of this menu, 7.7 grams for every dollar against an average of 7.2, so the Baconator is neither the bargain nor the splurge of the hamburgers lineup.
What It Costs Per Calorie and Per Gram
Broken down, the Baconator works out at $0.86 per 100 calories and $0.13 for every gram of protein. Across the full Wendy's board it is the 114th cheapest of 132 priced items. That also places the Baconator inside the ten heaviest items Wendy's sells on calories.
Ordering It
The Baconator already accounts for 45 percent of a 2,000 calorie day. Apple Bites and a diet drink keep the tray close to 930 rather than pushing it past 1,580.
Allergens in the Baconator: Egg, Milk, Soy, Wheat, Sesame. That list describes a standard Baconator only, so if the allergy is a serious one, ask at the counter how your Baconator is prepared before ordering it.
We list the Baconator at $7.69 because that is where the public price references cluster, not because Wendy's publishes one national price. How we build and recheck the Baconator page.
