Questions
Can I eat Chick-fil-A and still lose weight?
Yes. Body weight follows how much you eat in total, not which foods it comes from. A Chick-fil-A meal fits a fat-loss day as long as the rest of the day is sized around it, which is exactly what vopti calculates.
What is the highest-protein option per calorie at Chick-fil-A?
Of the items above, Grilled Nuggets (8 ct): 25 g of protein for about 131 kcal.
Where do these numbers come from?
From Chick-fil-A's published US nutrition information, per standard serving. Calories are computed from the macros (4 kcal per gram of protein and carbs, 9 per gram of fat), so they can differ from the posted menu figure by a few percent.
