It's a little high in sodium at 1040mg, but not too different from some of the canned soups you may find at the store. Soups aren't just for winter when they're this tasty. It also contains 12 grams protein, and ingredients like celery, onion, and carrots (which help provide 50% of your daily vitamin A). Chicken Noodle SoupĪ medium fry has 360 calories and 18 grams fat, but a small chicken soup for a side only has 130 calories and 2.5 grams total fat. At just 45 calories, you're still doing better than a sauce-less original nugget, even in terms of sodium. Pro Tip: Add a packet of the barbecue sauce. You'll also increase your vitamin C content from 8 to 20% of your daily value. So without sacrificing flavor, by switching your 12-count original to grilled, you'll save 180 calories, 13 grams total fat, 11 grams carbohydrates (these aren't whole grains you're losing), 2 grams saturated fat, 15 mg cholesterol, and a whopping 790 grams of sodium, roughly cutting it in half. They really do have a kind of backyard taste to them. The fried nuggets are tasty, but so are the grilled nuggets. Here are some of the products you can feel good about using to fuel your body. However, if you do not have hypertension or a family history of hypertension, I wouldn't fret about the sodium content too extensively. The biggest weakness of the menu is the sodium content, a problem you'll find on just about any restaurant menu. No, if you'll look at the Chick-fil-A menu, despite its menu being catered around chicken (actually a lean meat choice, by the way), there are a lot of vegetables, fruits, grains, etc. However, if you find yourself making multiple stops to fast food restaurants, Chick-fil-A is not your "burgers and fries" joint where you have no choice but to rack on the calories. You can have the most balanced refrigerator and recipes in the world, but more "special occasions" to fast food or restaurant establishments that you make, the easier it is for those calories to add up. However, life is not a cookie cutter, ideal situation, and eating out is going to happen, perhaps more than you may wish it did. Even with great options like Chick-fil-A, it still is easier to limit the sodium and fat content (and typically include more vegetables and less fried foods) when you cook at home. The general recommendation is to limit the amount of times one eats out.
