KFC Nutrition Calculator
Pick what you ordered and how many pieces. This calorie calculator totals the calories, protein, carbs and fat from KFC's own US menu numbers.
Log this 700 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 an Original Recipe breast, mashed potatoes with gravy and a biscuit, which comes to 700 calories with 46g of protein, 53g of carbs and 33.5g of fat. Remove those three lines and build your own.
Chicken on the bone is listed one piece at a time, by recipe. Tenders, nuggets and wings are also listed singly, so for a 3 tender order add the tender and press plus twice to get 510 calories. Sides come as an individual serving or a family size, and fountain drinks are listed by fluid ounces.

Sauce cups count. Ranch is 130 calories a cup, Buffalo Ranch 120 and KFC Sauce 90. BBQ is 45.
The sweet tea outweighs the soda. A 20 fl oz Southern Iced Tea is 350 calories, against 250 for a 20 fl oz Pepsi and 0 for Pepsi Zero Sugar or unsweetened iced tea.
