Burger King Minis

So, my 6 year old son wanted to go to Burger King for lunch yesterday because he saw the ad for the Burger King minis. He ended up not getting them, but instead getting a hamburger, apples, white milk.

I was trying to find something around 300 calories for lunch, and I heard someone order the Chicken Minis through the drive through. I asked the woman behind the counter for the calorie information for the chicken minis, assuming they were healthier than the beef minis.

WRONG! The beef minis had about 450 calories or something like that. I plugged the chicken minis into MFP, and they have OVER 800 CALORIES :O

I feel bad that people just assume something like chicken is a healthier option at a fast food restaurant. I was shocked that the chicken was almost twice as many calories. I ended up getting nothing at BK, lol, and instead drove through the Taco Bell drive through and ordered two Fresco style grilled steak tacos for 150 calories each :)

    Jeez! I saw the ad for those and I thought, the minis have to have less calories than the other things..can't be that much. Then I thought people assume and then they regret it later lol. Good thing you asked. 800 calories for a CHICKEN MINI SANDWICH? That's ridiculous and not even worth it.

    Good for you! I know what you mean. They have that turkey burger at Carls Junior and you would think it would be much less calories, but no... I do find that somewhat deceiving. The burger calories and turkey burger calories are almost the same.

    Is the chicken breaded and deep fried?
