From the chain's own published numbers: web.aw.ca, checked November 11, 2026. Menus change; treat this as a snapshot.
This is the drive-through order for when nothing else is open. It's not a healthy meal. It's the least bad one I found.
The logic: if I'm going to eat fast food, I want the most food for the least saturated fat. The Chubby Chicken Burger and a regular fries get me there better than anything else on the board.
The numbers, from A&W Canada's own menu pages:
- Chubby Chicken Burger: 490 kcal, 3 g saturated fat, 1,100 mg sodium
- Russet Thick-Cut Fries, regular: 340 kcal, 1.5 g saturated fat, 320 mg sodium (source)
Together: 830 kcal, 4.5 g saturated fat, 1,420 mg sodium. The sodium is the price, so the rest of the day's meals should be the low-salt kind.
