Popeyes Nutrition: Full UK Menu Breakdown

Boone uses the nutrition guide and allergen matrix Popeyes publishes for its UK menu, checked against the calorie figures on its current menu, then calculates free sugar and how much of the daily guidelines each item uses for your age and sex.

Boone updates the Popeyes pages when Popeyes changes its published UK nutrition information, including new items, recipe changes and items leaving the menu.

No. Recipes, ingredients and portion sizes vary by country, so Popeyes figures from the US or elsewhere do not apply here. Boone only uses Popeyes' UK nutrition information.

Each Popeyes item shows its calories, sugar, free sugar, fibre, saturated fat, salt and protein, along with the allergens Popeyes declares. Every figure is also shown as a share of the daily guideline for your age and sex.

Open any Popeyes item and set an age and sex. The calculator shows its calories, sugar, salt, saturated fat and protein as a share of that person's daily guidelines, and you can adjust the portion size.

Yes. Start with any Popeyes item, then add sides, dips and a shake to build the meal. The calculator totals the calories and nutrition and shows how the whole meal fits the daily guidelines for your age and sex.

Yes. Sides, biscuits, dips and shakes can all be added to a meal. Each addition updates the meal's calories, sugar, salt and saturated fat. Popeyes' published nutrition guide does not yet cover its fountain soft drinks, so those are not in the calculator.

Yes, a lot. Six Hot Wings come to 554 kcal, and six Garlic Parm Saucin' Wings come to 940 kcal, with more than double the fat. Six Boneless go from 217 kcal to 474 kcal in Garlic Parm. Honey BBQ adds sugar rather than fat. The calculator lets you choose any sauce and count.

For a small number of items, the calorie figure on the current Popeyes menu does not match its published nutrition guide, which suggests the recipe or portion has changed. Boone shows the current calorie figure and marks the other fields as not published, rather than using figures that look out of date.

Boone uses UK government and NHS guidelines, which differ by age and sex. Saturated fat is limited to 20g a day for women and 30g for men, and free sugar to 30g for adults but 19g for children aged 4 to 6. Choosing an age and sex recalculates every figure against the right limits.

For adults, the reference intake is 2,000 kcal and 70g of fat a day, with no more than 20g of saturated fat for women or 30g for men, 30g of free sugar and 6g of salt. Children have lower limits for free sugar and salt.

Children have lower limits for free sugar and salt and need less energy, so the same item uses a bigger share of their day. A child aged 4 to 6 has a limit of 19g of free sugar and 3g of salt, compared with 30g and 6g for an adult.

No. Calories and nutrients change with portion size, so where Popeyes sells an item in more than one size or count, each is listed separately, from 3 to 20 wings and 3 to 8 tenders. You can also adjust the portion in the calculator.

Yes. Dips can add a noticeable amount of sugar, salt and calories, especially if you have more than one. The Big Kickback Dip adds 907 kcal on its own, while Buffalo and Louisiana Hot add 8 kcal. You can add dips to your meal in the calculator.

Popeyes publishes full nutrition for its shakes, so they are listed with the same detail as food and can be added to a meal. Shakes are often the largest single source of free sugar in a meal. Its published guide does not yet include its fountain soft drinks.

Popeyes publishes total sugar, which includes the sugar naturally found in milk. NHS limits apply only to free sugars, so Boone separates the two and measures free sugar against your daily limit. That is why a shake or a Whipz can use less of your limit than its total sugar suggests.

Fat is the total of all the fats in an item. Saturated fat is one type within that total and has its own daily limit, 20g for women and 30g for men, because eating too much can raise cholesterol.

Yes, as part of a balanced diet. Checking a Popeyes meal's calories, saturated fat, sugar and salt against your daily guidelines shows how much room is left for the rest of the day.

Choose tenders or a standard sandwich rather than a Superstack, skip the Garlic Parm sauce, keep to a regular portion of fries, and watch the dips and shakes. Salt is the figure to keep an eye on, because Popeyes chicken is heavily seasoned. The calculator shows how each change affects the meal before you order.

Yes. Each Popeyes item gives calories, sugar, saturated fat, salt and protein that you can log in any tracker. In the Boone app you can also snap a photo of your meal to log it.

Yes. Each Popeyes item page lists the allergens Popeyes declares as ingredients and the ones it says the item may contain. Popeyes kitchens handle multiple foods, so no item can be guaranteed allergen free. If you have a severe allergy, always check with the restaurant before ordering.

Popeyes does not describe any item as gluten free. Its chicken, fries, sandwiches and biscuits all declare cereals containing gluten. Some dips, the hash browns and some desserts have no gluten declared as an ingredient, but they are prepared in shared kitchens, so that is not the same as gluten free.

No. Popeyes cooks its products in an oil blend that includes beef tallow, so its fries and hash browns are not suitable for vegetarians. Items such as the biscuits, Mac & Cheese, most dips, the shakes and the Whipz are listed as vegetarian.
