Percentages are the share of calories from each macronutrient.

Wendy'spublishes this item's nutrition but not what it weighs, so the portion above is worked back from the energy density of chicken nuggets (307 kcal per 100 g). That assumption moves the energy-density and sodium figures; the protein, fibre and craving parts of the score are ratios of calories and are unaffected.
