Where these figures come from. Nutrition figures are transcribed directly from KFC's own nutrition calculator (kfc.com/nutrition) and KFC's official Full Nutrition Guide — both Nutritionix tools last updated 19 Oct 2026. Nine panels that had come from KFC's official nutrition data via Nutritionix were confirmed against the official calculator in a live-browser verification pass on 27 Oct 2026, and three blank panels (KFC Snacker, Chocolate Chunk Cookie, Chocolate Chip Cake) were filled from the official sources in the same pass. Where sources disagree, the official figure is shown and the conflict is stated — never averaged, never silently picked. Count rows (nuggets 5/10/12/36 pc, tenders 3/5 pc) are arithmetic scalings of the official per-piece values, labelled as such — except the 50 pc Nuggets scaling, which is not published (no official listing exists for it). KFC publishes no downloadable US nutrition PDF any more.
