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

A plain single-patty hamburger on a sesame seed bun, one of the lighter builds on the menu

A plain hamburger is among the lightest burgers Burger King sells. Most of the items below it on the ladder are sides rather than a meal on their own.

Ordered lightest first. Several of these are sides rather than meals, which is worth knowing before building an order around them.

The highest calorie items

A tall stacked burger loaded with several beef patties, bacon and melted cheese, among the heaviest items on the menu

The heaviest items pile on patties, bacon and cheese. Patty count, not the bun or the salad, is what drives the numbers at this end of the ladder.

The top of the menu is dominated by multi-patty burgers. The jump between a single and a triple is larger than the entire range of most other categories.

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.

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 standard every source has to meet, is on how we source prices and calories.

This page reports published calorie figures and is not dietary advice. This is an independent reference site, not operated by Burger King Corporation or Restaurant Brands International.

Burger King calorie questions

How many calories are in Burger King food?

Across the 95 food items we track, calories run from 50 for Mott's Applesauce to 1390 for Triple Whopper with Bacon. 51 of them come in under 500 calories and 7 are over 1,000. That count excludes drinks and condiment packets, which would otherwise distort it.

What is the lowest calorie item at Burger King?

Mott's Applesauce at 50 cal. Among items that work as an actual meal rather than a side, the lightest options sit in the breakfast and Jr. burger ranges. 20 items across the food menu come in under 300 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.

How many Burger King items are under 500 calories?

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.

Why do you show a calorie range instead of a single number?

Because our two nutrition sources sometimes disagree, and picking one silently would hide that. 29 of the items we track carry a disagreement between sources, and for those we publish both ends. For any claim of the form "under X calories" we use the upper end of the range, so nothing on this site is listed as under a limit it could actually exceed. Our <a href="/how-we-source-prices">sourcing policy</a> sets out the rule in full.

Do these calorie counts include sauces and toppings?

They are the figures published for a standard build, which includes the sauces that come on the item by default and excludes anything you add. Dipping sauces, extra cheese and bacon are counted separately where our sources publish them. A sauce packet is easy to overlook and can add a meaningful share of a light item's total, so treat any figure here as a floor for the order you actually place.

How many calories should a fast food meal have?

There is no single correct answer, but the common reference point is a 2,000 calorie day, against which a main meal is often planned at roughly 600 to 800. That framing is more useful than a verdict on individual items: 51 of the 95 food items we track come in under 500 calories on their own, and it is usually the fries and the drink that decide whether the whole order lands near that band.

Do drinks count towards these figures?

Not in our "under 500 calories" counts, which are food only. Including the 110 drink entries would distort the figure badly, because many of them are zero-calorie diet sodas and would make the menu look lighter than it is. Drink calories are real and are listed per cup size on the <a href="/">main menu page</a> - a large regular soda can rival a burger.
