How to read this table

One row per menu item, in its standard size (Grande, Medium or 16 fl oz for drinks where the menu has it). When an item comes in several sizes, the row says how many, and the item page lists them all. Sauces, single toppings, add-ons and catering sizes are left out. Numbers are exactly as printed in the guide. Rows whose calories do not add up from protein, carbs and fat were dropped as likely misprints.
