Hardee's Nutrition Calculator

Pick your order above and the calculator totals calories, protein, carbs, fat and sodium in seconds. It is free, there is no sign up, and it works on your phone in the drive-thru line.

1. 01

   Pick your items and sizes

   Open a category, then add each item you plan to order. For fries, Hash Rounds and Crispy Curls, choose the size you will actually get. A large and a small are very different numbers.

2. 02

   Match your customisations

   Most Hardee's items can be changed at the counter. If you order without cheese or sauce, remove that item in the calculator too so your total matches your tray.

3. 03

   Read your meal totals

   Check calories first, then protein and sodium. Those three tell you most of what you need to know about a fast food meal. Open Detailed breakdown for saturated fat, fiber and sugars.

One sandwich rarely tells the whole story. The side often adds as much as the burger itself.

The last row is close to a full day of calories against the 2,000 calorie reference used on US nutrition labels. The first row gives you more protein for less than half the calories.

The single Mushroom & Swiss is one of the better value picks here: 30g of protein for 560 calories.

Tenders without sauce are the leanest protein on the menu. Dipping sauce is extra, so add it separately if you use it. The two chicken sandwiches carry the most sodium of anything on the Hardee's menu.

The Big Roast Beef carries 29g of protein for only 6g of fat, the leanest sandwich here.

Crispy Curls come in lower than fries at every size. A small Curls saves 60 calories over small fries and a medium saves 80, though the Curls carry more sodium.

Fountain soft drinks are not listed in the nutrition data this calculator uses, so add them from the restaurant's own board if you order one.

The tenders meal is the lightest kids option and carries the most protein.

Breakfast is where Hardee's stands out, and it is also where calories climb fastest. The biscuit alone is 340 calories before anything goes inside it.

Biscuits

Platters, burritos and sandwiches

Breakfast sides

The lightest breakfasts are Grits at 100 calories, the Country Ham Biscuit at 410 with 16g of protein, and the Frisco Breakfast Sandwich at 450 with 24g. Swapping medium Hash Rounds for Grits saves 220 calories.

High protein picks

Tenders win on every measure. The 5-piece gives 41g of protein for 440 calories, close to 1g of protein for every 10 calories.

Meals under 500 calories

The source data lists 0g of protein for the Original Roast Beef Sandwich, which looks like a typo in the published chart, so we show it as not available rather than guess.

Low carb and keto notes

Hardee's is a hard menu for strict keto. The 3-piece tenders carry 13g of carbs and the 5-piece 21g, all from the breading, which works for low carb but not for keto. Biscuits are 41g before any filling and the breakfast platters are 75 to 76g. Many locations will wrap a burger in lettuce instead of a bun if you ask, which removes most of the carbs in a burger.

The US Daily Value is 2,300mg, and several single items pass it on their own: the Hand-Breaded Chicken BLT at 2,840mg, the Hand-Breaded Chicken Sandwich at 2,660mg, the 10-piece tenders and Monster Burger at 2,580mg each, and the Monster Biscuit at 2,370mg.

The lower sodium picks are the 3-piece tenders at 770mg, Grits at 320mg, small fries at 600mg and the Original Roast Beef Sandwich at 1,210mg. Choose smaller sandwiches over doubles, skip the gravy, and check your total in the calculator before you order.

Hardee's cooks in shared kitchens, so cross contact is always possible. Use this as a starting point, then confirm with Hardee's own allergen information or ask the staff before ordering.

Hardee's posts its official US nutrition chart as one large image, so on a phone you have to pinch, zoom and hunt for your item. We built a clean, printable version instead: all 69 items by category, with calories, fat, saturated fat, carbs, fiber, sugar, protein, cholesterol and sodium in rows you can actually read.

Not quite. Hardee's and Carl's Jr are owned by the same parent company, CKE Restaurants, and some burgers overlap. The menus are not identical though. Hardee's is found mostly in the Midwest and Southeast and is known for its made-from-scratch breakfast biscuits, while Carl's Jr sits mostly in the West with items you will not see at Hardee's.

Some nutrition sites mix the two menus together, so you see items your local Hardee's does not sell. Everything in this calculator comes from the Hardee's menu only.
