#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!!!”🥰🥰….
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.
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 !
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.
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 !!
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.
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.
