How many calories are in a typical fast-food meal?

The sandwich is usually the smaller share. A Chick-fil-A Chicken Sandwich has about 420 calories and a classic Whataburger about 590, but adding medium fries and a regular drink pushes a Chick-fil-A combo to about 1,000 to 1,110 calories. The side and drink drive much of the total.

Calories FAQ

Where do these calorie numbers come from?

Each chain's official published nutrition information. We list calories item by item on every chain guide and re-check the figures during our monthly review. Actual calories vary with size, customization, and location, so treat the numbers as reference figures rather than exact values.

What is the lowest-calorie way to order a combo?

Swap the side and drink. At Chick-fil-A, a sandwich combo with medium fries and a regular drink totals about 1,000 to 1,110 calories, so choosing a Fruit Cup or Kale Crunch side, or a smaller size, cuts the total the most. Each chain guide lists sides and drinks item by item.
