#2 KFC Chicken Pot Pie
One of the worst items on the menu is the KFC chicken pot pie. It includes “crisp bites of the world’s greatest chicken,” diced potato, peas, carrots, and a flavorful sauce. Although it started off as a regional dish with a limited release, a nostalgic marketing campaign helped it become a national staple in 2012. But it’s also very unhealthy. It has a whopping 1970 milligrams of sodium, 45 grams of fat, and 790 calories.
The optimal salt intake is less than 1,500 milligrams, according to the American Heart Association, which advises against exceeding the daily limit of 2,300 mg. The Pot Pie contains a startlingly high 25 grams of saturated fat, which is comparable to the amount of saturated fat in 17 KFC drumsticks, 25 Fried Wings with honey barbecue sauce, 5 large orders of popcorn nuggets, or nearly four entire Famous Bowls in just one pie.

I NEVER eat fast food. I eat only organic fresh and raw when possible. My BMI hovers around 16-17. I’m
6′ and weigh ~132pds and exercise daily in my work in the construction field. I’m 76 and could pass for 56.
The general population eating the standard diet will never be healthy and have pot bellies and huge butts.
The analogy would be like always adding water to the gas in the car and complaining to the mechanic about poor performance. We also have the influence of BigPharma on the protocols doctor’s must follow, for instance, a patient with diabetes will be put on insulin for life ($ to Pharma) with no consultation about food choices or exercise.
I fully agree with what Peter said. I recently had a physical with my doctor. I asked him if he has had extensive schooling in nutrition. He told me that he has only learned the basics of nutrition. Jerry
You are making good food food choices but are severely underweight. A healthy and optonal bmi is 20-22. You can gain more by adding more Protein suvh as nuts and seeds and beans. and avocado oil. Sprouted grain bread. At 6 feet it woikd be good to weigh 155-165. And do weights for more muscle.
“LOVE, LOVE, LOVE KFC!!!”🥰🥰….
Sorry to say, even healthy athletes die from working out n eating good nutritions.
So totally agree with we all have to die of something.
Enjoy n eat what ever suits you 🙌🏼
I’m glad you’re healthy and that’s good for you but your comment about diabetes was idiotic. Type one diabetics do not make natural insulin. Without insulin they will die. They cannot control their diabetes without insulin. They cannot Control it with diet. As for type two diabetics, there are many many options before we get to insulin, including diet controlled.
Peter, it looks like you are healthy by the description of working construction. I hope have been getting complete labs because your numbers indicate malnutrition that will lead to kidney issues, etc. I hope you don’t see conspiracies in getting labs but if so go to an independent lab.
Hooray for you! Why are you even here instead of out doing something wonderful that you can talk about later.
wow dude eat a burger…too thin at your age…live alittle
Best of good healthy life to you
Nothing like sniffing your own bum! Diabetes isn’t all diet! Maybe you should work on your intelligence as hard as you do your nutrition
Kentucky fried chicken has to much sodium in the batter , they stop selling the grill chicken with could be better for your health, the sides are very dry no spice
And I LOVE it!! I eat it often. I don’t care about a lot of meat, EVER, so I enjoy the sauce with the veggies and great tasting crispy crust. This won’t stop me from ordering it. In fact, now you’ve got me craving it. LOL We all gotta die sometime. I don’t drink, smoke, or do drugs, so I guess I’ll just eat myself to death eating the wrong things. I LOVE the POT PIE!!
Good for you, nobody is telling you what to eat. Its a health thing bro keep on munching, 😄
In total agreement with you Jerry, I will eat KFC until or if they go out of business… love me some KFC not to mention their sides that are quite delicious….mmmm mmm good !
I only like KFC the wings
I read your reply completely wrong and I had a pop-up helping me. I thought you typed ” I LOVE POT” oops wrong board for that. Talking about those potpies makes me wish they were open later.
There’s no way that gravy is made on site. It is a premade packet gravy. So, the tail of old oil is not true.
Karen you are correct. KFC changed their gravy over 40 years ago. It used to taste like the original herbs and spices. Nowadays the chicken doesn’t even have that flavor because to save money individual franchisees will only put a portion of the seasoning mix in when they complete the gravy process.
I used to work for Kentucky Fried Chicken back when things were done much better than they are done today. And I can say that they made the Gravy as well as the potatoes everyday and more than once a day. I can’t attest to what they may be doing now days in that regard. However, I believe that Col. Sanders is turning in his grave.
Sorry to read about the Famous Bowl. That WAS my favorite at KFC!
However we got two Chicken Pot Pies yesterday and No Carrots and No whole diced potatoes and Very little chicken and the crust wasn’t as done as other times that we have had them and yummy then plus it was t Hot enough
Very disappointed too
I love the last comment I see on this sight-Ha! I also love their chicken (original recipe) and their ‘Gravy’ and potatoes oh, and i love their coleslaw as well. As the person said in the last comment, we all have to die sometime !!
But “we all got to die sometime” is true but do you want to die of a heart attack or stroke at age 56 at age 82 or even 92 peacefully in your sleep, after living a happy and comfortable life?
Thanks
I REALLY wish they would put the GRILLED CHICKEN back on their menu. Now I go to CHICK Fa LA for grilled chicken.
Y R U ALL KNOCKING KFC?? ITS WHAT U CHOOSE TO EAT THAT DOES THE HARM, ITS NOT ALL BAD!
I quit eating kfc awhile ago when I tasted the salt in the breading, I used to enjoy it but that salt really turns me off. It used to be good once in awhile but have not tried it in the past couple years. They changed something in it.
Haven’t eaten KFC in about 50 years. I sent to visit a friend working at KFC and they had pulled out a refrigerator that held sodas, and pies. The found a very large dead rat. I admit this was a long time ago, but somethings stick with you.
Yes, in the last few years the salt is way too much. It was always salty- now it’s enough to see my blood pressure through the roof!
I do love their Cole slaw
The sad thing about KFC is that the majority of America thinks their false advertisement of Original recipient is true. Remember they originally would advertise their chicken as finger licking good. At least they stopped using that logo.
Fuck these stupid assholes that put this shit on here
There was no where to see what it’s were not good for you no link nothing just jumps to 18 comments on why it’s bad
Fuck kfc fuck you for wasting my time you fucking cunt
Wait their false advertisement of original recipient? What were you meaning to say?
Waayyy to salty. The chicken has so much salt it just overpowers everything else
I have an autistic son who is addicted to kfc strips. What do I do?
I always enjoyed the extra crispy 8 piece meal, their are only two problems 1) the cost of the 8 piece has gone up considerably and 2 ) there’s less chicken on the bone, more bone than meat. I switched to Popeyes better tasting and lots of meat.
Stopped eating KFC years ago, way too greasy, Popeye’s is better but Churches chicken is the best.
I wish they would bring their chicken livers back. I can’t find them anywhere except boulineaus here in North Myrtle Beach and they were awful the last time we got them there.
Haven’t had their chicken in a long time.
KFC is not inexpensive I hardly ever go there, but was going past one last week and wanted something fast to take home. I got an 8 pc bucket of dark meat, 4 thighs, 4 legs…that cost me $20 No sides…just the chicken. Not a frequent choice, but it’s now a never again choice. One of my pieces of the thigh, soaked the napkin I was holding it in, in grease. Ewww!
This is dumb! Where are the 6 bad choices. It used to good when I was about 20. Now crispy rubber chicken.
I ate at KFC today. I always order the Special Bowl when I do eat there. Maybe twice a year. I Love the Bowl it has just enough meat or nuggets. Love the Corn and Mashed Potatoes. I have a new KFC recipe for making my on homemade Bowl. Thanks KFC.
Never saw the bad items you shouldn’t eat. I hate this kind of post!
In KFC I love their mash potatoes with gravy but their chicken no longer good because it is not Original. The chicken in Popeye much better good taste than KFC.
What is safe to eat. I really like the Cole slaw, chicken breasts, are they safe?
I didn’t realize they had so many yummy things.
Love kfc!!! F tgis guy! 132#. My sister could take u.
Moderation in all things, including moderation. Kfc like all fast food is a treat. It’s not meant for me at least as a staple. That aside, you poked holes in all my favorite foods from there. So I will choose to ignore you. Especially about potato wedges, and the gravy.
Easy, vegan nuggets are awesome. Go vegan and stop torturing birds. Plant based whole foods is A winner, not eating rotting corpses.
