How to use the KFC nutrition calculator
Tap + to add an item and − to remove it. The calculator shows the typical price of your order (the median across the restaurants we checked), the cheapest and dearest total we found for the same items, and the calories, protein and sodium from KFC's nutrition guide. 58 menu items — mostly buckets, combos, family meals and drinks — have no single published nutrition value; they add to the price but count as 0 calories and are marked with a "+". Watch the calorie total as you add sides and dipping sauces: they add more calories than most people expect.
For a combo, add the parts instead — the main, the side and the drink — to see the calories; then check the combo price, which is usually lower than the items bought separately.

- Dipping sauces add up: ranch has 130 calories per cup, Sticky Chicky Sweet 'n Sour 45.
- Check the matching combo price before ordering items separately.
