Best Fast Food Meals Under 500 Calories

By the MacroTray editorial team · Data checked November 2026 · 306 meals qualify

Complete meals of 500 calories or less, ranked by protein so the most filling come first. Every figure comes from the restaurant's own published nutrition information.

The top 30

At most three orders per restaurant, so one long menu does not fill the list.

Best pick at each restaurant

If you already know where you are eating, this is the order to start from.

What to know

• Grilled chicken, lettuce wraps and salads without creamy dressing fill most of this list.
• A sauce packet or a regular soda can add 100 to 250 calories. Add them in the calculator before you order.
• If you need a side, check its numbers first. Fries often have as many calories as the main item.
