Chick-fil-A is a beloved fast-food restaurant that is known for its juicy chicken sandwiches, fun waffle fries, and milkshakes. However, we all know that navigating any fast food chain’s menu can be challenging when you’re trying to lose weight.

High-Protein, Low-Calorie Chick-fil-A Order

Hannah’s go-to order contains around 300-307 calories and a whopping “29 grams” of protein (29P / 15F / 14C / 307 calories).

She orders an eight-count grilled nugget and a side of kale crunch salad. Hannah throws the chicken nuggets into the kale salad along with some shredded cheese, and that’s it!

“It’s just a good little high-protein snack, super easy to eat in your car as well,” she says.
