Chicken burger calories come to 339 for one burger on a white bun (145 g), or 234 per 100 g, based on USDA fast-food values. What stands out is the balance: protein, carbs and fat each supply roughly a third of the energy, and one burger brings 29 g of protein along with 516 mg of sodium.

One burger is 339 calories, two are 679
The USDA serving is one chicken burger on a white bun weighing 145 g, and it lands at 339 calories. That is 17% of a 2000-calorie daily value, which makes a single burger a reasonable lunch on its own. The trouble starts when burgers come in pairs.
Two burgers weigh 290 g and add up to 679 calories. Three reach 1,018 calories, and a five-burger order shared at a table totals 1,697 calories. Protein climbs just as fast: 58.1 g for two, 87.1 g for three. A single burger leaves plenty of room in a day; a double order behaves more like a full dinner.
If you are tracking, log the burger count rather than guessing a gram weight. Each burger is a fixed 145 g unit in this data, so the math is simple multiplication. Sides and sauces are where totals drift, and none of them are part of these numbers. BodyPal can log the burger from a photo if you would rather not type it in.
Calories split almost evenly three ways
Of the calories in a chicken burger, 35% come from protein, 36% from carbs and 30% from fat. Few fast-food items are this even. The bun drives the carbs and the chicken patty drives the protein, so neither side dominates the plate.
Per 100 g you get 20 g of protein, 20.7 g of carbs and 7.7 g of fat. Scaled to one burger, that becomes 29 g of protein, 30 g of carbs and 11.2 g of fat. The 29 g of protein covers 58% of the daily value, a strong return for 339 calories. That protein share is the main reason this burger holds up well against heavier fast-food choices.
Fat stays moderate. Saturated fat is 1.9 g per 100 g, and cholesterol is 54 mg per 100 g. Fiber is the weak spot: just 0.7 g per 100 g, or about 1 g in a whole burger on white bread. Sugars are low at 4.4 g per burger, most of it likely from the bun.
Sodium is the row to watch
One chicken burger carries 516 mg of sodium, 22% of the daily value. That is a bigger slice of your day than its calories, which sit at 17%. Per 100 g the figure is 356 mg, or 15% of the daily value. Salt, not calories, is the number that runs ahead here.
The gap widens with every extra burger. Two hold 1,032 mg of sodium and three hold 1,549 mg. A five-burger order reaches 2,581 mg, which is more than a full day's daily value on its own. Few people eat five, but two burgers plus salty sides can get uncomfortably close to that line.
If you watch sodium, the burger itself is rarely the whole story. Pickles, cheese, sauces and fries all add to it, and none of them are in these numbers. Pick one salty extra rather than three, and let the other meals of the day run lighter on salt. Potassium is 222 mg per 100 g, a modest amount that does little to offset the sodium.
The wheat bun is the smarter swap
USDA lists the same 145 g chicken burger on a wheat bun at 329 calories, slightly fewer than the 339 on white. The calorie gap is small. The rest of the label is where the wheat bun earns its place.
Fiber is the real difference: 3.2 g on wheat versus 1 g on white. Sugars drop from 4.4 g to 3.1 g, sodium eases from 516 mg to 484 mg, and protein edges up to 30 g. Carbs fall to 27.2 g. Fat stays at 11.2 g either way, since the patty does not change. If the menu offers wheat, take it.
Neither version is a high-fiber meal, so the side does the heavy lifting. A salad or a vegetable side adds volume and fiber for few calories, while fries push both fat and sodium higher. Water or an unsweetened drink keeps the meal close to the burger's own total instead of doubling it.
How does chicken burger compare?
Here is how a chicken burger stacks up against turkey, regular and Impossible burgers, per 100 g and per usual serving.
Verdict: Pick the chicken burger over a regular burger: it has 234 calories per 100 g against 288, with 20 g of protein against 17.5 g and roughly half the fat. The Impossible burger is lighter at 204 calories but gives only 16.8 g of protein, so choose it for a plant-based meal, and treat turkey as a dead tie at 234.
