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.
