Lowest calorie meals
Meal items ranked from the fewest calories. Drinks and condiments are excluded.
How this ranking is built
Meal items from every chain we cover, ranked and limited to the top 200. Drinks, desserts, condiments, toppings and bulk takeaway sizes are excluded, as are items under 150 kcal and small à-la-carte dishes — a single piece of sushi or one prawn tempura is not a meal. Sushi chains have their own ranking. The top entry is “砂肝のにんにく旨塩” at nosh with 150 kcal.
The chains appearing most often in the top 50 are 7-Eleven (10), Lawson (7), nosh (4), Watami Takushoku Direct (4), Anrakutei (4).
