The King Jr. Meal, component by component
Burger King Kids Meal 2026
Calories checked 18 August 2026 48 combinations calculated
A Burger King Kids Meal, sold as the King Jr. Meal, is an entree, a side, a drink and a toy, and runs 275 to 660 calories depending on what you choose. The entree is normally a Kid's Hamburger, a Kid's Cheeseburger or four chicken nuggets. The side is normally fries, applesauce or onion rings. The drink is normally milk or an Honest Kids apple juice box.
The 385 calorie gap between the lightest and heaviest build is the part worth knowing. The lightest we can assemble is Chicken Nuggets - 4 Pieces with Mott's Applesauce and Honest Kids Apple Juice Drink at 275 calories. The heaviest is Kid's Cheeseburger with Onion Rings - Value and Kids Signature Watermelon Lemonade at 660.
Meal composition is from Burger King's own kids meal listing. Calorie figures are from our dataset, cross-checked between two nutrition databases, and the combination totals are our arithmetic over both. We do not publish a price for the bundled meal, because bundle pricing is set per franchise and we cannot source it.
What comes in a Burger King Kids Meal
Burger King calls its kids meal the King Jr. Meal. Ordering a Burger King meal for kids means choosing one item from each of three slots, and a toy comes with it. Franchisees decide what they actually carry, so treat the options below as the usual set rather than a guarantee for your restaurant.

| Kid's Cheeseburger | 300 cal | not tracked | |

Chocolate milk is offered as a drink at some restaurants but is not in our tracked dataset, so it is named here without a calorie figure rather than estimated.
Burger King Kids Meal calories, every combination
This is the part no other menu site publishes, because it requires per-item calorie data to add up. With 4 entrees, 3 sides and 4 drinks there are 48 possible meals, and the choice moves the total by 385 calories. Each figure is the upper bound of its components, because where our two nutrition sources disagree the high end is the honest number to plan against.
| Entree | Side | Drink | Total |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chicken Nuggets - 4 Pieces | Mott's Applesauce | Honest Kids Apple Juice Drink | 275 cal |
| 4 Piece Crown Nuggets | Mott's Applesauce | Honest Kids Apple Juice Drink | 305 cal |
| Chicken Nuggets - 4 Pieces | Mott's Applesauce | Fat Free Milk | 340 cal |
| Kid's Hamburger | Mott's Applesauce | Honest Kids Apple Juice Drink | 345 cal |
| Chicken Nuggets - 4 Pieces | Kid's French Fries | Honest Kids Apple Juice Drink | 365 cal |
| Entree | Side | Drink | Total |
|---|---|---|---|
| Kid's Cheeseburger | Onion Rings - Value | Kids Signature Watermelon Lemonade | 660 cal |
| Kid's Cheeseburger | Onion Rings - Value | Kids Signature Strawberry Lemonade | 650 cal |
| Kid's Hamburger | Onion Rings - Value | Kids Signature Watermelon Lemonade | 620 cal |
| Kid's Hamburger | Onion Rings - Value | Kids Signature Strawberry Lemonade | 610 cal |
| Kid's Cheeseburger | Onion Rings - Value | Fat Free Milk | 600 cal |
Which swap saves the most
Choosing the lightest option in every slot gives Chicken Nuggets - 4 Pieces, Mott's Applesauce and Honest Kids Apple Juice Drink. The useful pattern in the numbers is that the side and the drink move the total more than the entree does, so a parent trying to keep the tray light gets further by changing those two than by changing the main.
We are not giving dietary advice and calories are only one measure of a meal. The FDA guide to reading nutrition labels explains how to put a calorie figure in context. We deliberately publish no daily calorie target for children, because we could not reach an authoritative source to cite for one.

What a Burger King Kids Meal costs
We do not publish a price for the bundled King Jr. Meal. Our prices are cross-checked between two independent trackers at the level of individual menu items, and neither carries bundle pricing, which franchisees set for themselves. Of the 11 components above we hold a sourced price for 6, shown in the table.
That is a deliberate omission rather than an oversight. A wrong price on a price site is worse than no price, and the reasoning is set out in full on how we source prices. For what the standard menu costs and where the genuine savings are, see Burger King deals and value.
Common questions about the Burger King Kids Meal
What comes in a Burger King Kids Meal?
Burger King's kids meal is called the King Jr. Meal. It is an entree, a side, a drink and a toy. The entree is normally a Kid's Hamburger, a Kid's Cheeseburger or four chicken nuggets; the side is normally fries, a Mott's applesauce cup or onion rings; the drink is normally milk or an Honest Kids apple juice box. Exact choices vary by restaurant, because franchisees decide what they carry.
How many calories are in a Burger King Kids Meal?
Between 275 and 660 calories, depending entirely on which three items are chosen. The lightest combination we can build from our figures is Chicken Nuggets - 4 Pieces with Mott's Applesauce and Honest Kids Apple Juice Drink at 275 calories. The heaviest is Kid's Cheeseburger with Onion Rings - Value and Kids Signature Watermelon Lemonade at 660. That is a 385 calorie gap between two orders of the same meal.
What is the healthiest Burger King Kids Meal option?
On calories alone, the lightest build is Chicken Nuggets - 4 Pieces, Mott's Applesauce and Honest Kids Apple Juice Drink. Calories are only one measure and we do not give dietary advice, but swapping the side and the drink moves the total more than swapping the entree does, which is the useful thing to know at the counter.
How much does a Burger King Kids Meal cost?
We do not publish a price for the bundled meal. We hold cross-checked prices for individual menu items, not for bundles, and bundle pricing is set by each franchisee rather than nationally. Of the 11 components listed here we hold a sourced price for 6. Publishing a meal price we cannot source would be the same error as inventing an item price.
Does the Burger King Kids Meal come with a toy?
Yes, the King Jr. Meal includes a toy. Some restaurants will swap the toy for a small dessert, but that is at the restaurant's discretion rather than a national policy, so it is worth asking rather than assuming.
Can adults order a Burger King Kids Meal?
Yes. There is no age restriction on ordering the King Jr. Meal, and it is a common way to get a smaller portion. At 275 to 660 calories it sits well below most adult combo meals on this menu.
Are Burger King kids meal options the same at every restaurant?
No. Franchisees choose what they carry, so the entree, side and drink options differ between restaurants, and chocolate milk in particular is offered at some locations but is not in our tracked dataset. Check the Burger King app for the restaurant you are visiting.
