Burger King Calories 2026
Figures checked 22 August 2026 95 food items ranked
Burger King food runs from 50 calories to 1390, a 27.8 times spread, and 51 of the 95 items we track come in under 500. The lightest is Mott's Applesauce at 50 cal; the heaviest is Triple Whopper with Bacon at 1390 cal. 7 items are over 1,000 calories on their own.
That count covers food only. Drinks and condiment packets are excluded because 115 of them would drag the figures somewhere misleading. Where our two nutrition sources disagree we use the upper end, so nothing is described as under a limit it could exceed.
The shape of the menu
Every food item we track, lightest at the top. The curve is what matters: the menu is not evenly spread, it clusters low and then climbs steeply through the multi-patty burgers at the bottom of the chart. 51 of 95 items sit under 500 calories.
The lowest calorie items
Ordered lightest first. Several of these are sides rather than meals, which is worth knowing before building an order around them.

Calories by menu category
Medians rather than averages, because one very heavy item skews an average badly on a menu shaped like this. The spread column is the gap between the lightest and heaviest item in that category, and it is the number that decides how much your choice within a category actually matters.
| Category | Items | Median | Range | Under 500 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sides | 13 | 300 | 50–730 | 11 of 13 |
| Burgers | 12 | 345 | 145–1260 | 9 of 12 |
| Chicken | 16 | 415 | 110–870 | 10 of 16 |
| Desserts | 16 | 440 | 180–670 | 8 of 16 |
| Breakfast | 18 | 470 | 270–800 | 9 of 18 |
| Fish | 2 | 650 | 570–730 | 0 of 2 |
| Whoppers | 18 | 840 | 340–1390 | 4 of 18 |
Calories per dollar
Food energy per dollar at the midpoint of each price range. 2 Chocolate Chip Cookies leads at roughly 257 calories per dollar. This is a value measure and not a health one, and the two point in opposite directions: the items that win here are the heaviest on the menu.
| Item | Calories | Price | Cal per $ |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2 Chocolate Chip Cookies | 320 | $1.10–$1.39 | 257 |
| Medium Hash Browns | 510 | $1.99–$3.41 | 189 |

| Cheeseburger | 300 | $1.89 | 159 |
What the calorie count does not tell you
Calories are one measure and they rank items differently from the others. Sodium in particular does not follow calorie order: an item can sit mid-table on calories and near the top on salt, because sodium tracks cheese and cured meat rather than portion size. We hold the full macronutrient panel for 42 items, and it is on Burger King nutrition.
Where these figures come from
Calories are cross-checked between two independent nutrition databases. Where they agree we publish the figure; where they disagree we publish the range and mark the item rather than choosing the number we prefer. For any "under X calories" claim we use the upper bound. The full method, including the two widely cited sources we rejected, is on how we source prices and calories.

What is the highest calorie item at Burger King?
Triple Whopper with Bacon at 1390 cal, which is about 27.8 times the lightest item we track. Calorie count on this menu is driven mainly by patty count, then by cheese and bacon.

51 of 95 food items. Where our two nutrition sources disagree on an item we use the upper end of the range for this count, so nothing is listed as under 500 when it could exceed it.
Which Burger King category has the lowest calories?
Sides, with a median of 300 calories across 13 items. The heaviest category by median is Whoppers at 840. Medians rather than averages, because a single very heavy item skews an average badly on a menu shaped like this one.
Which Burger King item gives the most calories per dollar?
2 Chocolate Chip Cookies at roughly 257 calories per dollar, using the midpoint of its price range. Read that as a value measure and not a health one: the items that score best here are among the heaviest on the menu, which is exactly why they score well.
Are Burger King calorie counts accurate?
They are the figures two independent nutrition databases publish for a standard build, and we show a range wherever those two disagree rather than picking one. They do not account for changes you make to an order, and portioning varies in a real kitchen. Treat them as a reliable guide to relative size rather than a measurement of the specific item handed to you.
