Quick answer: There are four kids' meal entrées. A kid's meal includes the entrée, a choice of small side, a kid's drink and a prize. The calorie figures below (80–450 Cal) are entrée-only — the official item pages state "Nutrition Information – Entrée Only" — so they are not the total for the meal your child actually eats. Anyone printing a single "kids meal calories" number without that caveat is misleading you.
| Item | Serving | Calories | Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5 Ct Nuggets Kid's Meal | 5-count nuggets entree; meal includes a choice of small side (Buddy Fruits® Apple Sauce, Mac & Cheese, Waffle Potato Fries®, or Fruit Cup), a kid's size drink and a prize, per official item page | 160 Cal (Entrée only (per official item page: 'Nutrition Information – Entrée Only')) | $8.29 (meal) |
| 5 Ct Grilled Nuggets Kid's Meal | 5-count grilled nuggets entree; meal includes side, drink and prize (see official Kids Meals page) | 80 Cal (per Entree — entrée only; side, kid's drink and prize not included) | $8.79 (meal) |
| 2 Ct Chick-n-Strips® Kid's Meal | 2-count strips entree; meal includes side, drink and prize (see official Kids Meals page) | 200 Cal (per Entree — entrée only; side, kid's drink and prize not included) | $8.75 (meal) |
| Mac & Cheese Kid's Meal | Mac & Cheese entree served with a side and a beverage, per official Kids Meals page announcement | 450 Cal (per Entree — entrée only; side, kid's drink and prize not included) | $8.79 (meal) |

Note the split basis on this page: prices are for the whole meal as sold, while calories are entrée only, exactly as the official pages state each. Do not read the price and the calorie figure as describing the same thing.
Why there is no full-meal total on this page
The total depends on the side and drink chosen, and the official pages do not publish a single meal total. The components, from the verified data: sides include Buddy Fruits® Apple Sauce (45 Cal), Fruit Cup (70), Mac & Cheese (450 per serving on the sides page) and Waffle Potato Fries® (420 per serving, size basis unstated) — full figures on the sides page; a kid's-size drink figure was not separately verified. Adding an entrée-only figure to a side figure from a different basis would produce a confident-looking, wrong total, so this page does not do it. The official Nutrition & Allergens page (chick-fil-a.com/nutrition-allergens) has a dedicated kid's meals section on the same entrée-only basis.
Choosing between the entrées
- 5 Ct Grilled Nuggets (80 Cal entrée only) — the lowest-calorie entrée, less than half the breaded 5 Ct Nuggets (160).
- 5 Ct Nuggets (160) — the standard choice; composition verified on the official item page: entrée + choice of small side + kid's drink + prize.
- 2 Ct Chick-n-Strips® (200) — the strips format in a kids' portion.
- Mac & Cheese Kid's Meal (450, entrée only) — announced as new on the official Kids Meals page on Oct 25, 2026 ("A cheesy new Kid's Meal is here"), served with a side and a beverage. Note it is by far the highest entrée figure of the four — the same Mac & Cheese listed at 450 Cal per serving as a side.
No health claims are made about any of these meals beyond the official figures shown.
