The math that matters

Grilled Nuggets are the best protein source in fast food, full stop: 12-count = 38g protein for 200 calories, a 1g-per-5.3-calorie ratio that beats every burger chain. The Grilled Cool Wrap (42g at 350) is the best single-item meal. Fried items still deliver — the original sandwich carries a respectable 29g — but each fried swap costs 100+ calories for the same protein.
