How to Use This Chart
Jump to the category you’re after, or scan the whole thing if you’re planning a full meal and want to keep the total calorie count in check. Each section below covers a menu category with calories, fat, and protein for the most-ordered items :
Burgers
Braum’s burgers run from a lean 390-calorie Junior to a four-figure Triple. The jump between sizes is steep, so this is the category where portion choice matters more than almost any other decision on the Braum’s Nutrition & Calories Hub menu.
Whether you’re looking for a lighter lunch or a more filling meal, comparing burger sizes before ordering can make a significant difference in your overall calorie intake. Choosing a smaller burger or skipping high-calorie add-ons like extra cheese and bacon can help reduce total calories without giving up the classic Braum’s burger experience.
Braum’s burger lineup also varies in protein, fat, and sodium content, making it helpful to review the full Braum’s Nutrition & Calories Hub information rather than calories alone. The table below provides a quick comparison of popular burger options, making it easier to select the one that best fits your dietary preferences.
| Burger | Calories | Fat | Protein |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sixth lb. Junior Cheeseburger | 390 | 18g | 20g |
| Sixth lb. Deluxe Cheeseburger | 420 | 20g | 21g |
| Double Junior Cheeseburger | 520 | 27g | 32g |
| Quarter lb. Cheeseburger | 530 | 28g | 29g |
| California Cheeseburger | 680 | 43g | 30g |
| Quarter lb. Bacon Cheeseburger | 630 | 36g | 36g |
| Jalapeño Pepper Jack Cheeseburger | 640 | 38g | 37g |
| Quarter lb. BBQ Bacon Cheeseburger | 710 | 37g | 39g |
| Double Quarter lb. Cheeseburger | 730 | 41g | 47g |
| Triple Quarter lb. Cheeseburger | 1,040 | 64g | 71g |
The Sixth lb. Junior Cheeseburger is the calorie floor for the burger lineup, while the Triple Quarter lb. Cheeseburger is the Braum’s Nutrition & Calories Hub ceiling and also the protein leader at 71g if you’re ordering with muscle-building in mind rather than calorie control.
Chicken Sandwiches
Chicken at Braum’s Nutrition & Calories Hub splits cleanly along one line: grilled versus crispy. Grilled consistently runs 150–200 calories lighter than the breaded, fried version of the same sandwich.
For customers looking to reduce calories without giving up a satisfying meal, the grilled chicken sandwich is generally the better option. It provides a good source of protein while containing significantly less fat and fewer calories than its crispy counterpart, making it a popular choice among health-conscious diners.
The crispy chicken sandwich, meanwhile, offers a crunchier texture and richer flavor but comes with a higher calorie count due to the breading and frying process. Comparing both options side by side makes it easier to choose the sandwich that best fits your Braum’s Nutrition & Calories Hub goals and appetite before placing your order.
| Sandwich | Calories | Fat | Protein |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chicken Sandwich (grilled) | 430 | — | 32g |
| Chicken Sandwich (crispy) | 590 | — | 28g |
| Chicken Club Sandwich (grilled) | 640 | 34g | 45g |
| Chicken Club Sandwich (crispy) | 800 | 43g | 40g |

Salads
Salads are where Braum’s calorie counts drop the most, though the dressed, topped versions can climb back up close to burger territory.
For customers looking for one of the lightest meals on the Braum’s Nutrition & Calories Hub menu, salads are often the best starting point. Choosing grilled chicken instead of crispy chicken and using dressing in moderation can help keep the overall calorie count relatively low while still providing a filling meal.
It’s also worth remembering that toppings such as shredded cheese, croutons, bacon, and creamy dressings can significantly increase calories, fat, and sodium. Reviewing the Braum’s Nutrition & Calories Hub information for both the salad and its dressing makes it easier to build a meal that matches your dietary goals without sacrificing flavor.
| Salad | Calories | Fat | Protein |
|---|---|---|---|
| Garden Salad | 170 | 9g | 10g |
| Grilled Chicken Salad | 460 | 22g | 30g |
| Strawberry Poppyseed (grilled chicken) | 480 | 23g | 26g |
| Apple Cranberry Walnut (grilled chicken) | 590 | — | 30g |
| Waldorf Grilled Chicken Salad | 650 | 35g | 31g |
| Crispy Chicken Salad | 540 | 32g | 30g |
| Strawberry Poppyseed (crispy chicken) | 560 | — | 27g |
| Apple Cranberry Walnut (crispy chicken) | 670 | — | 31g |
| Waldorf Crispy Chicken Salad | 730 | 42g | 32g |
The Garden Salad is the single lowest-calorie entrée-sized item anywhere on the menu, and one of the most-searched entries in this Nutrition & Calories Hub. Adding grilled chicken roughly triples the calories but also triples the protein, which is a fair trade for most people using salads as a main course rather than a side.
Chicken Strips, Chili & Fries
Chicken strips, chili, and fries make up some of the heartiest comfort-food options on the Braum’s Nutrition & Calories Hub menu. While these items are satisfying and filling, they also tend to be higher in calories, fat, and sodium than lighter menu categories such as salads or grilled sandwiches.
Portion size plays an important role in this category. Ordering fewer chicken strips, choosing a smaller fry, or enjoying chili as a side instead of a main dish can noticeably reduce your total calorie intake while still letting you enjoy your favorite Braum’s comfort foods.
Because these items are often paired together as combo meals, calories can add up quickly once fries, dipping sauces, and drinks are included. Reviewing the Braum’s Nutrition & Calories Hub information for each item individually makes it easier to customize your meal and stay within your preferred calorie range.
| Item | Calories | Fat | Protein |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2 Chicken Strips | 250 | 15g | 15g |
| French Fries (small) | 210 | 9g | 3g |
| French Fries (medium) | 310 | 14g | 4g |
| French Fries (large) | 420 | 18g | 5g |
| Bowl of Chili | 420 | 15g | 27g |
| 4 Chicken Strips | 490 | 29g | 28g |
| Bowl of Chili w/ Cheese & Sour Cream | 600 | 30g | 35g |
| 6 Chicken Strips | 740 | 44g | 41g |
| Chicken Strip Dinner (full meal) | 1,150 | 51g | 37g |
The Chicken Strip Dinner is one of the highest-calorie single items on the entire menu once you include the crinkle-cut fries, gravy, dinner roll, and pudding that come with it worth knowing if you’re ordering it expecting something lighter than a burger combo.
Breakfast
Whether you’re looking for a quick morning bite or a hearty breakfast to start the day, Braum’s offers options across a wide range of calorie levels. Lighter choices are ideal for customers watching their calorie intake, while larger breakfast platters provide a more filling meal with higher amounts of protein, carbohydrates, and fat.
Keep in mind that breakfast calories can increase quickly with additions like hash browns, biscuits, gravy, cheese, or breakfast meats. Reviewing the Braum’s Nutrition & Calories Hub information before ordering makes it easier to choose a breakfast that fits your dietary preferences while still enjoying your favorite morning items.
| Item | Calories | Fat | Protein |
|---|---|---|---|
| Breakfast English Muffin (plain) | 130 | 2g | 5g |
| Fruit & Yogurt Swirl | 280 | 4g | 18g |
| Hotcakes (three) | 340 | 7g | 6g |
| Biscuit & Sausage Gravy (single) | 420 | 21g | 8g |
| Hotcakes (three) & Sausage | 510 | 21g | 13g |
| Cinnamon Roll | 530 | 18g | 9g |
| Breakfast Burrito | 450 | 23g | 20g |
| Breakfast Burrito Grande | 680 | 41g | 24g |
| Biscuit & Sausage Gravy (double) | 840 | 43g | 17g |
| Big Country Breakfast | 950 | 65g | 29g |
| Big Country Breakfast w/ Gravy | 1,100 | 74g | 32g |
If you’re after protein without a heavy calorie load in the morning, the Fruit & Yogurt Swirl stands out 18g of protein for just 280 calories, ahead of most of the breakfast sandwiches on a protein-per-calorie basis.
Ice Cream, Shakes & Dairy
This is the widest calorie range on the entire Braum’s Nutrition & Calories Hub menu, and it’s largely a function of serving size rather than flavor. A junior 3-ounce dip of ice cream runs roughly 120–260 calories depending on flavor, while a full pint of the same flavor can run well over 1,000 calories. Shakes and malts scale the same way.
Customers looking to enjoy Braum’s frozen desserts while managing their calorie intake should pay close attention to serving sizes. A junior dip or frozen yogurt can satisfy a sweet craving with far fewer calories than a large shake, malt, or triple-dip sundae.
Although flavor plays a role in the final nutrition values, portion size has the biggest impact on calories. Premium flavors made with candy, cookies, caramel, or chocolate generally contain more calories than fruit-based or frozen yogurt varieties, making it helpful to compare options before ordering.
Whether you’re stopping in for a quick scoop or taking home a pint or quart, reviewing both calorie and price information can help you choose the option that best fits your budget and dietary goals. The table below provides a quick comparison of Braum’s most popular ice cream, shake, and dairy items at Braum’s Nutrition & Calories Hub.
| Item | Serving Size | Approx. Calories | Approx. Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Junior Ice Cream Dip | 3 oz | 120–260 cal | $1.79–$2.29 |
| Single Ice Cream Dip | 4.5 oz | 170–390 cal | $2.99–$3.49 |
| Pint Ice Cream | 16 oz | 1,000–1,600+ cal | $4.99–$5.49 |
| Quart Ice Cream | 32 oz | 2,000–3,200+ cal | $7.99–$8.49 |
| Small Shake or Malt | 12 fl oz | 380–870 cal | $3.99–$4.99 |
| Large Shake or Malt | 32 fl oz | 1,800–2,300+ cal | $5.99–$6.99 |
| Single-Dip Sundae | 1 Dip | 370–800 cal | $3.99–$5.49 |
| Triple-Dip Sundae | 3 Dips | 1,300–2,300 cal | $6.49–$7.99 |
| Frozen Yogurt (Single Serving) | Standard Serving | 30–70 fewer calories than comparable ice cream | $2.99–$4.49 |
Because the ice cream and shake menu has dozens of flavors at multiple sizes, exact figures vary flavor by flavor the ranges above reflect the typical spread you’ll see across Braum’s published nutrition chart rather than one single number.
Drinks
Many customers focus on the calories in their meal but forget to account for what they’re drinking. Choosing water, unsweetened tea, black coffee, or diet soda instead of a sugary beverage can significantly reduce the total calorie count of your order without changing your main meal at Braum’s Nutrition & Calories Hub.
Coffee-based drinks offer the widest calorie range in this category because ingredients like whole milk, whipped cream, flavored syrups, and chocolate sauces quickly increase the nutrition totals. Selecting fewer syrup pumps or a smaller size can help keep calories under control while still enjoying your favorite coffee drink.
Whether you’re pairing a drink with breakfast, lunch, or dessert, comparing both calories and serving sizes makes it easier to find an option that fits your dietary preferences. The table below summarizes the approximate calorie counts and prices for Braum’s Nutrition & Calories Hub most popular beverages.
| Drink | Serving Size | Approx. Calories | Approx. Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Regular Fountain Drink (Small) | 12 oz | 140–150 cal | $1.79–$2.29 |

Lightest and Heaviest Items on the Menu
One of the biggest advantages of comparing Nutrition & Calories Hub, by calories is how quickly you can identify meals that fit your dietary goals. While some menu items are light enough for a snack or lower-calorie lunch, others are designed as large, filling meals that can provide well over half of an average adult’s recommended daily calorie intake in a single serving.
Customers looking to reduce calorie intake often choose lighter options such as salads, smaller breakfast items, or individual chicken strips. On the other hand, hearty breakfasts, double or triple burgers, chicken dinners, and premium shakes are among the highest-calorie choices available, making them better suited for customers with larger appetites or those sharing a meal.
The tables below highlight some of the lightest and heaviest menu items currently available at Braum’s Nutrition & Calories Hub.

Tips for Eating Lighter at Braum’s
A few patterns hold across the whole menu, not just one category in this Nutrition & Calories Hub:
- Grilled beats crispy every time. Whether it’s the Chicken Sandwich, the Chicken Club, or a chicken salad, the grilled version consistently saves 150–200 calories over the breaded, fried version.
- Watch the “double” and “triple” naming. Doubling a burger or shake size rarely doubles the calories cleanly it’s usually worse, since bun, cheese, and sauce portions often scale up too.
- Frozen yogurt over premium ice cream. Same case, same scoop size, consistently fewer calories and a bit more protein.
- Salads aren’t automatically “light.” A Waldorf Crispy Chicken Salad at 730 calories can outweigh a Quarter lb. Cheeseburger at 530 the salad label doesn’t guarantee the lower number.
- Shakes and malts are dessert-sized calorie bombs at large sizes. A large premium shake can carry more calories than an entire meal, so treat size selection here as seriously as flavor selection.
