At la Madeleine, the name of a dish does not always tell you how much food is included in the published nutrition.
A breakfast can include eggs, croissant, meat, and potatoes. A sandwich may be available as a half or whole serving. Soups come in cups and bowls. A Café Sampler combines several smaller items, while a pastry or coffee drink can add a completely separate nutrition total.
Use the la Madeleine Nutrition Calculator above to match the serving you actually order and compare calories, protein, carbohydrates, fat, sodium, and other available nutrients.
Start by Checking What the Meal Includes
Serving definitions matter especially at la Madeleine.
The Country French Breakfast, for example, combines eggs, a Potato Galette, breakfast meat, and a butter croissant rather than representing eggs alone. The current menu describes the American Breakfast similarly, with eggs, bacon or sausage, and a butter croissant.
Before adding sides separately, check whether they are already included in the nutrition entry.
Otherwise, it is easy to count the same croissant, fruit, potatoes, or breakfast meat twice.
Breakfast Plates Can Contain Several Separate Foods
The current NutritionSolver database lists approximately:
American Breakfast: 650 calories and 32g protein
Country French Breakfast: 890 calories and 38g protein
Croque Madame: 890 calories and 51g protein
Classic French Toast: 800 calories and 23g protein.
Those are complete menu preparations, not isolated ingredients.
When comparing breakfast choices, look at the full plate and its sides rather than judging the meal only by eggs, toast, or meat.
Build Your Own Breakfast Sandwich Needs Ingredient-Level Math
La Madeleine's current Build Your Own Breakfast Sandwich lets you choose:
Bread
Meat
Cheese
and a side .
Current bread options include Brioche, Croissant, and Sourdough, while protein choices include ham, sausage, and turkey bacon. The sandwich is served with Fresh Fruit Salade or a Potato Galette.
That makes this menu item ideal for a calculator.
Instead of one universal calorie number, NutritionSolver should calculate:
Egg + bread + meat + cheese + side
according to the customer's selections.
Egg Preparation Can Change the Breakfast
The current NutritionSolver data includes separate entries for scrambled eggs, egg whites, and several cooked egg preparations.
For example:
Scrambled Egg: about 90 calories per listed serving
Scrambled Egg Whites: about 50 calories
Other egg preparations are around 110 calories per listed egg serving.
If you change a Custom Omelette from whole eggs to egg whites, use that actual version rather than continuing to calculate the standard omelette.
A Butter Croissant Is a Significant Part of Breakfast
The classic Butter Croissant currently contains about:
280 calories
6g protein
29g carbohydrates
16g fat .
That means a breakfast plate that includes a croissant can be substantially different from the same eggs and meat without it.
The croissant should not be added again if it is already included in the published complete breakfast nutrition.
Soup Size Matters
La Madeleine's soups are commonly sold as a Cup or Bowl , and those should remain separate calculator entries.
Current NutritionSolver examples include:
Tomato Basil Soupe, Cup: about 300 calories
Tomato Basil Soupe, Bowl: about 500 calories
French Lentil Soupe, Cup: about 140 calories
French Lentil Soupe, Bowl: about 230 calories
Country Potato Soupe, Cup: about 240 calories
Country Potato Soupe, Bowl: about 420 calories.
Always match the portion size rather than using one generic soup number.
Tomato Basil Soupe Is Richer Than a Typical Tomato Soup
La Madeleine's Famous Tomato Basil is a cream-based soup.
The current Bowl entry contains around 500 calories and 44g of fat , while the Cup contains approximately 300 calories and 26g of fat .
This is a useful reminder that menu names alone do not tell you the calorie density of a dish.
Compare the actual recipe and serving size.
Café Samplers Need Component-Level Calculation
The current Café Sampler lets you choose:
Half a quiche or friand
Petite salade
Cup of soupe .
There is no useful single calorie value for every possible Café Sampler because the total depends on the three components selected.
NutritionSolver should calculate the sampler from those choices rather than assigning every combination the same total.
Salade Samplers Work the Same Way
La Madeleine also offers a Salade Sampler where customers choose three featured salads or soups.
NutritionSolver already has petite sampler portions for foods such as French Lentil Soupe, Tomato Basil Soupe, Original Caesar, field greens, Strawberries Romanoff, Strawberry Bacon Spinach, and Tomato Basil Pesto Pasta Salade.
That is the correct approach.
Use the sampler portion , not the full Bowl or full Salade value, when building one of these meals.
Salad Dressing Can Be a Major Part of the Total
Dressings should not be treated as a small detail.
The current NutritionSolver database lists approximately:
House Dressing: 380 calories
Light Caesar Dressing: 110 calories.
That creates a large difference between two otherwise similar salads.
If the standard salad value already includes a specific dressing, do not add it twice. If the customer changes the dressing, use the selected dressing instead.
Protein Add-Ons Should Be Added Separately
La Madeleine allows protein to be added to several salads.
The current public menu advertises options such as balsamic-marinated chicken, salmon, or shrimp for an additional charge.
These add-ons change more than protein.
They can also affect:
Calories
Fat
Cholesterol
Sodium
Use the exact selected protein rather than treating every salad with added protein as the same dish.
Half and Whole Sandwiches Must Stay Separate
Several la Madeleine sandwiches can be ordered in different portions.
For example, NutritionSolver currently lists:
Croque Monsieur, Half: about 370 calories
Croque Monsieur, Whole: about 730 calories.
The live menu also lists items such as Toasted Caprese with separate Half and Whole calorie values.
Serving size should therefore appear directly in every sandwich title.
Instead of:
Croque Monsieur
use:
Croque Monsieur, Half
or
Croque Monsieur, Whole
Sandwich Nutrition May Exclude the Side
This is especially important on your current NutritionSolver dataset.
The source category note states that sandwich nutrition does not include the side .
So a sandwich served with soup, salad, fruit, or another side should be calculated as:
Sandwich + selected side
unless a specific bundled record clearly states otherwise.
That information should be visible near the calculator, not hidden only in the dataset category label.
Chicken Salade Croissant Is Its Own Recipe
The Chicken Salade Croissant combines la Madeleine's chicken salad with lettuce and tomato on a butter croissant.
NutritionSolver currently lists the Whole serving at approximately:
620 calories
20g protein
35g carbohydrates
42g fat
930mg sodium .
Because the chicken salad and croissant both contribute substantially, it should not be estimated from plain chicken plus a generic bread value.
Entrées Can Include Fixed Sides
Your current source notes that Chicken la Madeleine includes fixed sides , while the current official menu describes it with balsamic chicken, creamy mushroom sauce, seasoned wild rice, and steamed broccoli.
This means the nutrition should be interpreted as a complete plated entrée.
Do not add rice and broccoli again unless they are genuinely extra portions.
Pasta Serving Definitions Need Current Verification
The current live menu includes dishes such as:
Chicken Cordon Bleu Baked Pasta
Four-Cheese Baked Pasta
Creamy Pesto Pasta .
These recipes can include cheese sauce, meat, pesto cream sauce, tomatoes, and bread depending on the dish.
Use the current exact recipe rather than applying an older pasta calorie number to a newer formulation.
This menu category is particularly important to keep updated because recipe changes can shift calories significantly.
Quiche Is More Than Eggs
La Madeleine's Quiche Lorraine combines egg with ham, bacon, onion, Swiss custard, and buttery pie crust.
Quiche Florentine uses egg, spinach, Swiss custard, and the same style of buttery crust.
NutritionSolver currently lists the breakfast servings around:
Quiche Florentine: 750 calories
Quiche Lorraine: 810 calories.
The pastry crust is part of the dish, so quiche should not be compared with a plain omelette simply on the basis that both contain eggs.
Bakery Items Need Individual Nutrition
La Madeleine's bakery is a major part of the menu.
Current core and rotating products include:
Butter Croissant
Pain au Chocolat
Almond Croissant
Chocolate Almond Croissant
Danish pastries
and seasonal dipped croissants and pâtisserie.
NutritionSolver currently lists examples such as:
Chocolate Croissant: about 290 calories
Chocolate Almond Croissant: about 490 calories
Dark Cherry & Greek Yogurt Danish: about 360 calories.
Each pastry should remain its own menu record rather than being grouped under one generic bakery calorie value.
Whole Loaves Need Clear Serving Context
NutritionSolver currently contains whole bread products such as a Baguette and Seven Grain Loaf with calories for the entire loaf .
These are much larger serving units than one restaurant bread side.
The item title should make this explicit:
Baguette, Whole Loaf
Seven Grain Bread, Whole Loaf
so users do not mistake the total for one slice or small café serving.
Coffee Customizations Belong in the Drink Total
La Madeleine also has a substantial coffee and espresso menu, and your current NutritionSolver page contains separate coffee customization records.
Plain brewed coffee may contribute very few calories, but milk, cream, syrups, chocolate, whipped toppings, and other additions can substantially change the finished beverage.
A useful drink calculator should follow:
Drink + size + milk + flavor + other additions
rather than providing one generic coffee calorie number.
Seasonal Bakery and Brunch Items Need Freshness Labels
La Madeleine rotates seasonal bakery items and introduces new brunch dishes.
The current menu includes newer French Toast preparations, BYO Breakfast Sandwiches, Bacon Bon-Bon items, and seasonal pastries such as Strawberry Dipped and Pistachio Dipped Croissants.
NutritionSolver should distinguish:
Core Menu
Current Seasonal
Historical / No Longer Available
so older bakery records do not look like permanent menu items.

Calculate the la Madeleine Meal You Actually Eat
Start with the exact breakfast, soup, salad, sandwich, sampler, entrée, quiche, pasta, or bakery item you order.
Then check its serving definition carefully.
Choose the correct Cup or Bowl, Half or Whole, standard or sampler portion , and account for any side, dressing, protein, coffee customization, pastry, or dessert that is not already included.
That gives you a much more meaningful la Madeleine nutrition total than relying on one average calorie number for a café meal.
