Do you think there are more than 900 calories in a chicken fingers & fries meal at a restaurant?

Question

the restaurant doesnt have a website but based on other places like clancy's, olive garden, uno's, ruby tuesdays etc. would you say theres more than 900 calories and would it be less calories if i got grilled cheese with fries?

Answer 1

There is a very good chance that you will exceed 900 calories with a meal like that. It depends on portion size and the coating for the chicken, any dipping sauces, the amount of fat retained by deep frying, the type of chicken meat (i.e. whole breast meat or ground re-processed chicken parts), other sides (condiments) and the drink if you include it in the calculation (a large cola can have over 600 calories alone).

Grilled cheese with fries - again, portion size, type of bread, retained fats, etc. Remember, everything in moderation.

Answer 2

Yes, there can be easily over 900 calories in Chicken Sticks and Fries.

At McDonalds, for example, their 5 piece premium breast strips has 630 calories, add 570 for the large fries, and you're at 1200.

Answer 3

It is over 900.  Get a garden salad and small soup (not cream based).

Answer 4

Yes, I strongly think there are more than 900 calories! I think it would be the same with grilled cheese. Calorie wise, they are both high!!~~

Answer 5

yes you are running 900 calories.. it is DEEP FRIED!!

yes it would be significantly less for just a grilled cheese sandwich I would think.  Not that just bread and cheese is healthy.. but considering the alternative, Id say switch.

Answer 6

chicken strips for 5 at dennys is 735....fries.....490 for their 7oz serving most places will be the same or close so yes it will go over 900.

Grilled cheese for an average sandwitch, every 3oz is 540. Figure there are at least 6-9 oz in 1 sandwitch.
