What to order at Chick-fil-A

Best bet: Grilled nuggets, or any grilled item without the bun

Main options

  • Grilled Nuggets, 8 or 12 count — lean protein, far lower carbohydrate than breaded
  • Grilled Chicken Sandwich, no bun
  • Grilled Market Salad — chicken, greens, berries, nuts, blue cheese; light Italian or light balsamic
  • Grilled Cool Wrap — chicken and vegetables in a flaxseed flatbread

Sides

  • Side salad, light vinaigrette on the side
  • Fruit cup
  • Superfood side — kale, broccolini, maple vinaigrette, dried cherries

Drinks

  • Water
  • Unsweetened iced tea
  • Diet lemonade

Worth knowing

  • Many sauces here are high in sugar — mustard, hot sauce, or sauce on the side
  • Off-menu adjustments are normal, so ask

Guidelines, not medical advice. Menus change — check current nutrition information where it matters.
