Nutrition finalist- KFC

KFC Nutrition

Taylor Lockett

Out of a bracket of eight fast food restaurants the top two for lowest calories were KFC and Leeann Chin.

            At Kentucky Fried Chicken you can get chicken pot pie for only 790 calories. Depending on what you see as a lot of calories this is very low. We made a bracket out of eight fast food restaurants and KFC was a finalist for lowest calories out of Chipotle, Arby’s, Taco Bell, Burger King, McDonalds, Subway and Leeann Chin.

            What we did to determine the two finalists in our March madness bracket for food was we looked at the nutrition facts for each restaurant and found the highest calorie meal including a drink and a side.

            We are aware that calories are not the only thing that people are looking at when they are looking for a nutritious place to eat but we are also aware that some people are very concerned with how many calories the consume a day.

            KFC would be a good place for HHS high school kids to eat because it is reasonably priced and the calories are on the lower side for a fast food restaurant. KFC is a large chain restaurant that was originally founded in 1930 but in 1950 the franchise was founded. There are Kentucky fried chicken restaurants from Minnesota down to Louisville. The closest KFC restaurant for HHS students would be located right off 394 and Wayzata Boulevard east.
