About these figures

Every figure is KFC Saudi Arabia's own, from its nutrition sheet for the Saudi market, dated July 2024. Recipes and portions change, and since 2019 Saudi menus must show calories, so the menu board or app has the current figure. For McDonald's and Herfy in Saudi Arabia, see Saudi fast food calories.
