Burger King calories: the best order for every goal
Burger King publishes a US Nutrition Information chart listing calories, fat, sodium, carbs, fiber, sugar and protein for its menu. The flame-grilled burgers scale cleanly from a 250 calorie Hamburger up to the 1,200 calorie Bacon King, so the fastest way to change your macros is to change the size and the bacon rather than the toppings. Every number below is taken from that published chart.

Highest protein
Bacon KingTwo flame-grilled quarter-pound patties with bacon and cheese lead Burger King's published chart at 66g of protein, but they cost 1,200 calories. A leaner route to big protein is a Double Whopper at 52g for 920 calories, or two Whopper Jr.s at 30g combined for 660.

Lowest calorie (still filling)
Whopper Jr. with the free vegetablesA plain Hamburger is 250 calories and 13g of protein, and a Whopper Jr. is 330 and 15g, the two lowest-calorie flame-grilled options Burger King publishes. Lettuce, tomato and onion add almost nothing. The fries are the trap: a medium is 370 calories.

15g
Keto / low-carb
A flame-grilled burger ordered without the bun, or a 10-piece Chicken NuggetsBurger King does not publish a bunless calorie figure, so we do not estimate one. Of its published items, the 10-piece Chicken Nuggets are among the lowest in carbs at 22g for 22g of protein. Skip the bun and skip the fries, where a medium carries 54g of carbs.

Vegan (best plant-based)
Impossible Whopper, no mayoThe Impossible patty is plant-based and carries 28g of protein, but Burger King states it is flame-grilled on the same broiler as beef, and the standard mayo is not vegan. Ordered without mayo it is best described as vegetarian. Confirm your build in Burger King's allergen information.
630
28g
Gluten-free
A flame-grilled Whopper or Double Whopper ordered without the bunBurger King states its buns contain wheat and that fried items, including french fries, nuggets, chicken and onion rings, share a fryer. A flame-grilled patty without the bun is the lower-gluten route. Confirm every item in Burger King's allergen information and tell the team about a gluten allergy.

The most reliable answer to “how many calories is this?” comes from Burger King’s own nutrition data. Chains revise recipes and portions, so we anchor every figure on this page to the chain’s current publication and link directly so you can verify before ordering.
Burger King publishes a US Nutrition Information chart listing calories, fat, saturated fat, trans fat, cholesterol, sodium, carbs, fiber, sugar and protein for its menu.
Burger King states its buns contain wheat, so its flame-grilled patties carry gluten mainly from the bun rather than the beef.
Burger King states that fried items, including french fries, chicken nuggets, chicken patties, hash browns and onion rings, are cooked in shared fryer oil, which creates a risk of cross-contact.
Burger King states the Impossible Whopper uses a plant-based patty that is flame-grilled on the same broiler as its beef, so it is not certified vegan.
Burger King is surfaced in Forkiee through GPS-based nearby discovery. Once a location loads, every dish is scored against your goal and diet (calorie target, macros, gluten-free, keto, vegan, the FDA Big 9 allergens), so the best-match orders rise to the top.
The point of this page is the manual version of that: the numbers are Burger King’s, the math is done, and the best order for your goal is in the table above.
