Buffalo Wild Wings Nutrition Calculator
Ten wings sounds like a snack until you do the arithmetic: ten traditional wings are about 700 calories before any sauce touches them, and the sauce is a separate decision with its own price. Buffalo Wild Wings publishes nutrition figures for its menu, but they are presented per piece and per 2-ounce sauce portion, which is not how anyone actually orders. Nobody eats one wing and a thimble of sauce.
First, an honest description of the tool below, because it matters for how you use it. This is not the full Buffalo Wild Wings menu in a database, and it is not a generic calorie estimator with a brand name on it either. It is a focused meal builder holding a small set of the chain’s core items: 9 foods with their published per-piece or per-order figures stored in the tool, plus 13 sauces stored as calories per 2 ounces. Pick an item, pick a sauce, enter how many pieces or orders, and it totals calories, protein, fat, carbs, and sodium for that one item, with the share of a 2,000-calorie day.
Stored figures are the per-piece and per-order values held in this tool, described by the tool as drawn from Buffalo Wild Wings published nutrition guides. Sauce contributes calories only in this tool, one 2-ounce portion per piece or order. Values vary by location and preparation. This page is not affiliated with Buffalo Wild Wings, and the brand’s current official nutrition guide is the authority: check it for anything this tool does not cover.
Quick Answer
Read this before you trust the total
- This tool covers 9 items and 13 sauces. Salads, desserts, drinks, dips, dry rubs, and most of the menu are not in it. For those, use the official Buffalo Wild Wings nutrition guide linked in the references.
- Sauce adds calories only here. The sauce's own fat, carbs, and sodium are not stored, so the macro totals for a sauced order are understated, especially for sodium. The official guide lists sauces in full, including sodium over 1,000mg per portion for several of them.
- The tool applies one 2-ounce sauce portion per piece or per order. A real kitchen does not toss six wings in six separate 2-ounce portions, so treat sauced wing totals as an upper-bound estimate, not a lab figure.
- One item at a time. To total a mixed order, run each item separately and add the results, which is also how the copy button is designed to be used for a food log.
Exactly what is stored in this tool
These tables reproduce the tool's stored data, value for value, so you can see the whole database at a glance and check any result by hand. Nothing has been added, rounded differently, or filled in from other sources.
| Item (unit) | Calories | Protein | Fat | Carbs | Sodium |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Traditional Wings (per wing) | 70 | 7g | 4.5g | 0g | 200mg |
| Boneless Wings (per wing) | 80 | 5g | 4g | 5g | 210mg |
| Naked Tenders (per tender) | 130 | 20g | 4.5g | 1g | 330mg |
| Crispy Tenders (per tender) | 160 | 13g | 9g | 9g | 440mg |
| Classic Chicken Sandwich | 640 | 31g | 33g | 55g | 1,800mg |
| Nashville Hot Sandwich | 780 | 38g | 40g | 64g | 2,060mg |
| Cheeseburger | 760 | 40g | 43g | 53g | 1,140mg |
| Whiskey Burger | 890 | 48g | 51g | 58g | 1,580mg |
| French Fries (per order) | 430 | 6g | 20g | 58g | 720mg |
| Sauce (calories per 2 oz, as stored) | Cal | Sauce (calories per 2 oz, as stored) | Cal |
|---|---|---|---|
| Buffalo Medium | 60 | Teriyaki | 130 |
| Hot | 90 | Honey BBQ | 140 |
| Mild | 100 | Mango Habanero | 160 |
| Sweet BBQ | 100 | Garlic Butter | 170 |
| Wild | 100 | Asian Zing | 170 |
| Original Buffalo | 220 | Parmesan Garlic | 260 |
| Lemon Pepper | 300 |
The arithmetic itself is simple multiplication: the item's per-unit figures times your quantity, with the sauce calories added to the item's calories before multiplying. Calories are the only figure the sauce changes. Two comparison points from the stored data are worth noticing. The Whiskey Burger at 890 calories is the heaviest single item in the tool, ahead of the Nashville Hot Sandwich at 780. And per piece, traditional and boneless wings are close: 70 against 80 calories, with the boneless wing's breading showing up as 5g of carbs where the traditional wing has none.
How the totals are built, and where they bend
The formula is: total calories = (item calories + sauce calories) x quantity. Protein, fat, carbs, and sodium are each the item's per-unit value x quantity, with nothing added for sauce. The daily-value line is total calories / 2,000 x 100, using the same 2,000-calorie reference the US Food and Drug Administration uses for percent Daily Value on nutrition labels, as its interactive Nutrition Facts label guide explains for fat and the other nutrients.
Three bends follow from that design, and a straight account of this tool has to name them. First, the sauce portion scales with quantity: six wings get six 2-ounce portions in the maths, which overstates how a tossed order is actually sauced. Second, the sauce's sodium never lands in the sodium total, and sauce sodium is not trivial: the brand's published guide lists several sauces above 1,000mg of sodium per portion, against a Daily Value of less than 2,300mg per day in the Dietary Guidelines for Americans. Third, the stored sauce values were checked against the brand's current official nutrition guide (the edition dated August to November 2026 on the Buffalo Wild Wings nutrition page) and corrected where that guide states a different figure for the same 2-ounce serving. Lemon Pepper is the clearest case: the wet sauce is stored at 300 calories per 2 ounces in line with the current guide, which is a different product from the Lemon Pepper Dry Rub, listed in the guide at 5 calories. Guides are revised between editions, so treat the tables here as this tool's data, and the official guide as the authority.
Worked example: six traditional wings in Buffalo Medium
The calculator is pre-filled with this order, and every figure is reproducible from the tables above.
| Step | Maths | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Calories per wing with sauce | 70 + 60 | 130 |
| Total calories | 130 x 6 | 780 |
| Share of a 2,000-calorie day | 780 / 2,000 | 39% |
| Protein | 7g x 6 | 42g |
| Fat | 4.5g x 6 | 27g |
| Sodium (wings only, sauce excluded) | 200mg x 6 | 1,200mg |
For contrast, run the same tool with no sauce on three naked tenders: 130 x 3 = 390 calories with 60g of protein, the most protein per calorie of anything stored here. That contrast is the practical use of a tool like this: not a verdict on one meal, but a fast way to see which version of an order fits the day you are planning. Readers comparing brand tools should know the same pattern appears on our black rock nutrition calculator and daves hot chicken nutrition calculator: a stored subset of a chain's items, useful for the items it holds, with the official guide as the backstop for everything else. And if the question flips to burning a meal off rather than counting it, the bicycle calorie calculator prices the ride.
What other BWW nutrition pages miss
Search this topic and you mostly find two kinds of page: the official guide itself, a long per-serving document built for reference rather than for an actual order, and third-party nutrition databases that list fixed serving sizes, usually a whole restaurant portion of 10, 15, or 20 wings. Both are accurate in their own terms and awkward in the same way: neither lets you state your order, six wings, this sauce, and get your total.
Gap 1: your quantity, not their serving. This tool multiplies per-piece figures by the quantity you enter, so a 6-count and a 15-count are both first-class cases instead of a division exercise.
Gap 2: the sauce as a separate choice. Fixed-serving pages bake one sauce assumption into each listing. Here the sauce is its own input with its own stored calories, which makes the cost of switching from Hot at 90 to Parmesan Garlic at 260 visible before you order: on six wings, that switch is 1,020 calories of difference in this tool's maths.
Gap 3: a log-ready summary. The copy button produces one line with calories, daily-value share, and all four macros, in the format a food log actually wants. The honest counterweight, repeated because it matters: the official guide covers the full menu with full sauce nutrition, and this tool does not. Use each for what it is.
Frequently Asked Questions
In this tool's stored data, 70 calories per wing before sauce, with 7g protein, 4.5g fat, 0g carbs, and 200mg sodium per wing. Sauce is where the total moves: the stored sauces run from 60 calories per 2 ounces for Buffalo Medium to 300 for Lemon Pepper, and the tool adds one portion per wing. Ten plain wings are 700 calories; ten wings with Hot at 90 calories of sauce per wing total 1,600 in this tool's maths, which overstates a real tossed order, as the honesty notes explain.
Nine items: traditional wings, boneless wings, naked tenders, crispy tenders, the Classic Chicken Sandwich, the Nashville Hot Sandwich, the cheeseburger, the Whiskey Burger, and fries. Plus 13 sauces as calories per 2 ounces. It does not cover the rest of the menu: no salads, desserts, drinks, dips, dry rubs, or limited-time items. For anything outside those 9 items, use the official Buffalo Wild Wings nutrition guide linked in the references.
Per piece, traditional wings are slightly lighter in this tool's data: 70 calories against 80 for boneless. The difference is the breading on boneless wings, which adds 5g of carbs per piece where a traditional wing has none. Traditional wings also carry more protein per piece, 7g against 5g. Per piece is not per order, though: compare the counts you actually eat.
Because the tool stores sauces as calories only. The sodium, fat, and carb figures for each sauce are not in its data, so the results add nothing for them. That understates a sauced order's true sodium, and the understatement can be large: the brand's published guide lists several sauces above 1,000mg of sodium per portion. Use this tool for calories and for the item's own macros, and the official guide for a sauced order's full sodium picture.
The Whiskey Burger, stored at 890 calories per burger with 48g protein and 51g fat, followed by the Nashville Hot Sandwich at 780 calories. The lightest stored items per piece are the traditional wings at 70 calories, and the strongest protein value is the naked tender: 130 calories for 20g of protein.
Its arithmetic is exact: it multiplies the stored per-unit figures by your quantity. The stored figures themselves are described by the tool as drawn from Buffalo Wild Wings published nutrition guides, and they are estimates: restaurant preparation, portioning, and how heavily an order is sauced all move the real numbers. The stored sauce values were verified against the brand's current official guide: Lemon Pepper sauce, for example, is stored at 300 calories per 2 ounces, the current guide's figure for the wet sauce, not the 5-calorie Lemon Pepper Dry Rub.
Pieces for wings and tenders, orders for sandwiches, burgers, and fries. The menu item label in the dropdown states the unit for each choice. If you order a 10-count of wings, enter 10. If you order one burger and one fries, run the tool twice, once per item, and add the two totals.
Yes, by running it once per item and adding the results. There is no multi-item basket in this tool. The copy button helps: calculate each item, copy each one-line summary into your notes or food log, and add the calories and macros across the lines.
