1 sandwich (~143 g) has about 400 calories.
Why estimates miss: McChicken is a multi-ingredient dish. The breaded fillet plus mayo drive most of the fat, not the chicken itself. Generic calorie apps undercount the hidden oil, sauce and portion — CalDesk AI's photo estimate is tuned to catch exactly this.
