Arby's calorie calculator: build an order under your cap
Set a calorie cap from 200 to 1,500 and build a Arby's order from 90 single orders — 60 entrées, the rest sides and drinks — using Arby's's own published figures. The lightest meal-sized order is the Steak Nuggets (5) at 140 calories; the heaviest entrée, the Angus Half Pound Cheesesteak, is 1,110. The most protein in a complete meal under 500 is 46 g.
