Calories from Fat, Carbs, and Protein

While total calories vary based on order size, the portion of calories derived from each macronutrient (fat, carbs, and protein) remains about the same.

Let me clarify with an example. As mentioned above, the 27 grams of carbs in a Value size of this side dish delivers 110 calories. That’s 55% of the 200 total calories in a Value order.

A large order has more than double the total calories. But, carbohydrates contribute the same percentage (about 55%) of the 520 total calories in a large order.

Here is a summary of calories from carbohydrates, by onion ring order size:

  • Value size has 110 calories from 27g carbs (55% of 200 total calories)
  • Small size has 150 calories from 37g carbs (55% of 280 total calories)
  • Medium size has 195 calories from 48g carbs (55% of 360 total calories)
  • Large size has 280 calories from 70g carbs (55% of 520 total calories)

The same holds true for fat and protein. Across all order sizes, fat contributes about 40% of the total calories and protein makes up about 5% of the total calories.

  • Total calories derived from carbs (55%), fat (40%), and protein (5%)

Total Fat

Take note of the amount of total fat in each serving.

The smallest available size (a Value order) contains 9 grams of total dietary fats, including 1.5 grams of saturated fat. By comparison, a Large size has 24 grams of total fat. That is high.

  • A Value size order has 9 grams total fat
  • A Small order of onion rings has 13 grams total fat
  • A Medium size order of onion rings has 16 grams total fat
  • A Large order of onion rings has has 24 grams total fat

Dietary Fat in Size Large

If you increase your order to the Large, you will consume 24 grams of fat. That’s 37% of the recommended limit for an entire day (based on a 2,000 calorie diet). Moreover, the size Large contains 4 grams of saturated fat.

  • The amount of total fat, 24 grams, in a Large order is high (37% daily value).
