People might automatically assume that KFC is unhealthy as it serves up fast food, however, this isn’t necessarily the case, so it’s important to pay attention to the menu and the nutritional information provided to you so you can make more informed decisions about what you want to eat. If you want to see a detailed guide to KFC’s nutritional information, then you can easily find this on KFC’s weekend.
As an example though, your standard KFC chicken breast contains 390 calories, 21 grams of fat, 11 grams of carbohydrates, and 39 grams of protein. In order to burn this amount of calories off, then you’d need to walk for 3 hours, jog or cycle for an hour, or swim for an hour and a half. For another example, The Chicken Sandwich has 650 calories, 35 grams of fat, 49 grams of carbohydrates, and 34 grams of protein, so it certainly isn’t overly unhealthy. But it would take an hour or two of intensive cardio to help burn off the calories.
For those who are looking for the KFC option with the most protein, then you should order the 4. Pc Original Chicken meal, with a side of baked beans, mashed potatoes & gravy, and a biscuit. This meal will then provide you with 1,160 calories, 90 grams of carbohydrates, 51.5 grams of fat, and a huge 84 grams of protein, which makes it the perfect option for those who are looking to increase their protein intake, but still want to enjoy the delicious taste of the Colonel’s chicken!
If you suffer from allergies, you can always ask the cashiers for more information, but as a general rule, those who are intolerant to dairy should enjoy most of the chicken options due to the coating containing milk. The same goes for those allergic to egg, wheat, and soy too.
The delicious mac & cheese, the biscuits, and the mashed potatoes are also notable menu items that contain allergens too, so dining at KFC might be slightly difficult if you have any of these notable allergies.
For vegetarians and vegans, the options at KFC are similarly limited too, as their Beyond Meat Chicken options only make an appearance in January, and even then these often share a fryer and oil with the animal products too, so trying to remain meat-free at KFC is especially hard.
KFC is an absolutely huge chain and has stores in 135 countries, with over 23,000 different stores across the globe. In the United States, the chicken restaurant has nearly 4,000 locations across all 50 states, so you should never find yourself too far away from a KFC location.
KFC usually offers delivery depending on the location, and this is usually fulfilled by a third-party delivery service, such as DoorDash. If they do offer it, whether you can get KFC delivered to your home is based upon your local KFC’s distance from your house!
