Chick-fil-A calorie counts stay moderate for a fast-food chicken menu. The original Chick-fil-A Chicken Sandwich lands at about 420 calories, and the Spicy Chicken Sandwich is close behind at roughly 460. Grilled options are the lightest mains: the Grilled Chicken Sandwich is about 380 calories and 8-count Grilled Nuggets just 130. Regular 8-count Nuggets are about 250 calories, while a medium Waffle Potato Fries adds around 420. A full combo of a sandwich, medium fries and a regular drink usually totals 1,000 to 1,200 calories, so the side and drink drive much of the count.
To order lighter, choose grilled chicken over breaded, pick the Egg White Grill (290 calories) at breakfast, and swap fries for a Fruit Cup (60 calories) or Side Salad. Drinks matter too: a medium Chick-fil-A Lemonade is around 220 calories, so switching to unsweetened iced tea, Diet Lemonade or water removes a large share of a meal's calories. All figures are approximate and vary by location, portion and customization; check the Chick-fil-A app or official nutrition calculator for exact numbers.

Chick-fil-A allergens and dietary options
Chick-fil-A is one of the easier chains to order gluten-free: the Grilled Chicken Sandwich (without the bun), the Grilled Nuggets, and the Waffle Potato Fries (fried in a dedicated canola-oil fryer) are gluten-free. Breaded chicken, buns, and Chick-n-Minis contain wheat. The most common allergens across the menu are wheat, milk, egg, and soy. Vegetarian picks are limited to the sides, Fruit Cup, Kale Crunch, and salads ordered without chicken.

What is the lowest-calorie item at Chick-fil-A?
The 8-count Grilled Nuggets are among the lowest at about 130 calories, followed by the Egg White Grill (290) and Grilled Chicken Sandwich (380). Pairing grilled chicken with a Fruit Cup or Side Salad and water keeps a meal light.
How many calories are in Chick-fil-A Waffle Fries?
