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:
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 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.

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.
