El Pollo Loco Nutrition Calculator
Pick what you ordered and how many. This calorie calculator totals the calories, protein, carbs and fat from El Pollo Loco's own US nutrition guide.
Log this 620 calorie order in NutriScan. Take a photo of your order and the app adds the calories, protein, carbs and fat to your day.
How to use it
Choose a menu section, choose an item, and press Add to order. The item drops into the order list, where the plus and minus buttons set the quantity. Take an item to zero and it leaves the order.
The calculator opens with a sample order of a Chicken Breast, a side of Rice and a Coca-Cola, Regular, which comes to 620 calories with 37g of protein, 105g of carbs and 9.5g of fat. Remove those three lines and build your own.
El Pollo Loco prints its values per serving as sold. Chicken is listed per piece: breast, thigh, leg and wing, so a quarter or half chicken is several lines. Sides are the small size. Salads are without dressing, so add the dressing from the sauces section as its own line. Drinks are without ice. Guacamole, queso, chips and drinks have a row for each size the guide prints. Meal and combo bundles are not in the calculator, so add each piece separately.
