Raising Cane’s meals are generally calorie-dense due to the nature of fried chicken and sides:

• The 3 Finger Combo: ~1000-1100 calories
• The Box Combo (4 Fingers): ~1200-1300 calories
• The Caniac Combo (6 Fingers): ~1700-1800 calories
• Individual Chicken Fingers: ~130-150 calories each
• Cane’s Sauce: ~190 calories per serving

Pro Tip: Most of the calories come from the fried chicken, crinkle-cut fries, Texas toast, and especially the Cane’s Sauce. Being mindful of sauce portions and side choices can help manage calorie intake. Our calculator helps you customize!

For a healthier, lower-calorie Raising Cane’s meal, consider these choices:

• Chicken Fingers: While fried, they are the core. Limit the number of fingers you order.
• Sides: Opt for coleslaw over fries. Coleslaw has fewer calories and fat than the crinkle-cut fries.
• Sauce: Use Cane’s Sauce sparingly or ask for no sauce. This is a significant source of calories and fat.
• Texas Toast: Consider skipping the Texas Toast or only eating half to reduce carbs and calories.
• Drinks: Choose water or diet soda instead of sugary sodas.

Best Healthy Combo: 2-3 Chicken Fingers (no sauce), plus a side of coleslaw and a water can bring your meal to around 500-600 calories, a significant reduction from a standard combo.

Raising Cane’s chicken fingers are a good source of protein:

• Each Chicken Finger: Approximately 14-16g of protein.
• The 3 Finger Combo: Roughly 42-48g of protein (from fingers alone).
• The Box Combo (4 Fingers): Roughly 56-64g of protein (from fingers alone).

While they are fried, the chicken fingers do offer a substantial amount of protein per serving, which can contribute to satiety. Combining them with coleslaw (which has a small amount of protein) can further boost protein intake slightly.

Protein Tip: If your goal is high protein, the chicken fingers are your primary source. You can maximize protein while minimizing excess calories by reducing or skipping fries, Texas toast, and Cane’s Sauce.

Raising Cane’s is generally challenging for strict low-carb or keto diets, but modifications are possible:

• Chicken Fingers: The breading on the chicken fingers is high in carbs. While you can eat them, they won’t be strictly keto-friendly. Some might choose to remove the breading.
• Fries: Avoid entirely, as they are potato-based and very high in carbs.
• Texas Toast: Avoid entirely.
• Coleslaw: This is a better side option, but still contains some sugar in the dressing. Check specific nutritional info if available.
• Cane’s Sauce: This sauce is high in carbs and sugar. Avoid or use a very small amount, if at all.
• Drinks: Stick to water or diet soda.

A truly keto-friendly meal at Raising Cane’s would be very limited, essentially consisting of a few chicken fingers (perhaps with breading removed) and potentially a very small amount of coleslaw, with no sauce. It’s difficult to fit into strict carb limits.

Keto-Friendly Tip: If following strict keto, it’s best to consider Raising Cane’s an occasional treat or choose another restaurant. If you do visit, focus on the chicken fingers, and accept the carbs from the breading, or try to scrape it off. Skip all other sides and sauce.

Common allergens at Raising Cane’s primarily include:

Raising Cane’s typically fries all items in the same oil, leading to potential cross-contamination for some allergens. Always inform staff about severe allergies.

Allergen Tip: If you have a severe allergy, it’s crucial to consult the official allergen guide on Raising Cane’s website or contact the restaurant directly. Given the limited menu, it can be challenging to avoid certain common allergens like wheat and dairy.

Fat and sodium are inherently high in fried fast food, but you can make choices to reduce them:

• Limit Portions: The easiest way is to order fewer chicken fingers and smaller side portions.
• Cane’s Sauce: This is a major contributor to both fat and sodium. Ask for no sauce, or a very small side portion, and dip sparingly.
• Fries: High in fat and sodium. Substitute with coleslaw, which is lower in both.
• Texas Toast: Contains fat (from butter/margarine) and sodium. Consider skipping or eating only a small portion.
• Drinks: Choose water over sodas, which can add significant sodium.

Focus on reducing the number of fried items and cutting back on or eliminating the Cane’s Sauce to significantly impact fat and sodium levels. Even small changes can help.

Healthier Choices: A 2-finger meal with coleslaw and no Cane’s sauce, along with water, would be your best bet for managing fat and sodium while still enjoying the chicken.
