Grams vs protein per 100 calories

Ranking by grams of protein favours the biggest meals: a large platter will always beat a small wrap. So this guide also shows protein per 100 calories, which tells you how much protein you get for the calories.

Above about 10g of protein per 100 kcal is very lean; 10 items here reach it. The leanest is Chicken, with 32g of protein for 180 kcal. Sort the table by the last column to see the rest.

How much protein do you need?

Nutrition labels use 50g of protein a day as the Daily Value for an average adult on 2,000 kcal; individual needs vary with body size, age and activity, and people training or trying to stay full often aim higher, spread across meals. Every item here has at least 15g (30% of that reference), and the top pick, High Protein Cup - Pollo Asado, has 37g (74%).

Watch the sodium

High-protein restaurant meals are often salty. The median item on this list has 350 mg of sodium, which is 15% of the 2,300mg Daily Value. If that matters to you, check the sodium column on each item page.
