Fast Food Nutrition Calculators started from a simple frustration: menu boards give you a price and a picture, but rarely a clear picture of what you’re actually eating. Nutrition PDFs exist, but they’re long, hard to search on a phone, and don’t add up your specific order for you. We built this site to close that gap.

What We Do
We build free, independent calorie and nutrition calculators for popular fast food and restaurant chains. Each calculator lets you build your order item by item — including common add-ons and customizations — and see a running total of calories, protein, carbs, fat and sodium. Alongside each calculator, we publish a plain-language guide covering the questions people actually search for: which items are lightest, which are heaviest, and how small changes to an order shift the numbers.
How We Source and Check Our Data
Each restaurant has one dataset, and the calculator, the nutrition table and our comparison tool all read that same file, so the numbers always match across the site. All current datasets describe U.S. menus. We check each dataset against the restaurant’s own official U.S. nutrition information, and every calculator page links to that official source and shows its review status and the date it was last reviewed. Datasets that have not yet been fully verified are clearly labeled, and their values should be treated as estimates. When our data and the official source disagree, the official source wins.

What We’re Not
We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by any restaurant brand featured on this site. We’re not a medical or dietary advice service, and no dietitian or medical professional reviews this site. We don’t replace a conversation with a registered dietitian or your doctor if you have specific health or allergy concerns — for allergies, always use the restaurant’s official allergen information. We’re simply an independent tool built to make fast food nutrition information easier to find and use.
What’s Live Today
We currently have full calculators live for 15 chains: McDonald’s, KFC, Subway, Dunkin’, Chipotle, Taco Bell, Wendy’s, Burger King, Domino’s, Pizza Hut, Chick-fil-A, Panera Bread, Five Guys, Panda Express and Dairy Queen — see the full list of calculators to jump straight to any of them. We’re continuing to add more chains beyond this list; if there’s one you’d like us to prioritize, let us know via our Contact page.
