Fast Food Calorie Counter
Keeping track of what you eat at fast food restaurants is one of the simplest ways to stay on top of your daily calorie intake. Meals from popular chains can range from under 300 calories to well over 1,500 — and it adds up fast.
This free tool lets you select items from McDonald's, Panda Express, Subway, and Chipotle — or enter any custom item — and instantly see your running daily total against a personal goal. No account, no app, no signup required.

Why Calorie Tracking Works
Studies consistently show that simply being aware of calorie intake — without any strict diet — leads to better food choices over time. Fast food is easy to underestimate: a single combo meal can account for more than half a standard 2,000-calorie daily goal. By logging each item, including sides and drinks, you get an accurate picture of where you stand.
The daily recommended calorie intake varies by age, sex, and activity level. A common reference point is 2,000 calories per day for adults, but your personal goal may differ. Consult a registered dietitian or healthcare provider for personalized guidance.
