```

## Explanation

Popeyes' Louisiana-style fried chicken and its famous chicken sandwich are rich: the sandwich alone is about 700 kcal. Blackened tenders are the light, high-protein alternative. This calculator holds 76 menu items – US menu, figures compiled in 2021; extra menu items listed by EatBetter (2026) added – sugar and cholesterol are often not given for those.

### How to use the Popeyes Nutrition Calculator

- The first item is filled in as an example. Click **Item 1** to open the menu, type in the search box (for example "chick" or "large") and pick an item.
- **Item 2** starts as "— none —". Choose something there and an **Item 3** row appears – add up to eight items, including sides, sauces and drinks. Pick "— none —" to remove an item.
- Set the **quantity** for each item (0.5 for half a portion, 2 for two).
- Set **your daily calorie target** (2,000 kcal is the food-label standard) and **your weight** for the exercise times.
- Read the totals: calories, protein, carbs, fat, sodium and sugar, the share of your day, and your order list.

Not affiliated with Popeyes. Values are the published nutrition figures (US menu, figures compiled in 2021; extra menu items listed by EatBetter (2026) added – sugar and cholesterol are often not given for those) and may change. The menu data is part of the page and everything is calculated in your browser.

### How it works

Each menu item carries its published calories and nutrients. The calculator multiplies them by the quantity you enter and adds the rows up. Your share of the day is total calories ÷ your daily target. Sodium is compared with the 2,300 mg daily limit and saturated fat with its 20 g Daily Value. Exercise time uses MET values from the Compendium of Physical Activities: brisk walking burns about 3.5 × 3.5 × weight ÷ 200 kcal per minute and running at 10 km/h about 9.8 × 3.5 × weight ÷ 200.

### Where the numbers come from

Figures are the restaurant's published nutrition values (US menu, figures compiled in 2021; extra menu items listed by EatBetter (2026) added – sugar and cholesterol are often not given for those), as compiled by the sources listed below. Menus, recipes and portion sizes change and differ between countries, so check the restaurant's own nutrition page for the latest numbers. Where the brand's table does not show fiber, fiber is estimated from the calories left over after carbs, protein and fat (fiber gives about 2 kcal per gram), so treat those fiber figures as approximate. This calculator is independent and not affiliated with Popeyes.
