Calories in 8, 12, 14, 16 and other counts
Wendy's sells Wendy's Chicken Nuggets in boxes of 4, 6 and 10. Any other count means ordering more than one box, so the total depends on which boxes you pick. Each row names the exact order, and every figure is Wendy's own published number for those boxes, added together — nothing here is estimated.

Where a count has two rows, both are real orders and both totals are correct — Wendy's box figures don't scale exactly per piece, so different ways of reaching the same count land a few calories apart. Some counts can't be ordered at all: nothing adds up to 2, or to any odd number. The smallest box is the 4-piece, at 170 calories. A dash means Wendy's doesn't publish that figure for at least one of the boxes in the order, so the total isn't known.
