Healthy Restaurants in Boston
Updated weekly · Last refresh: September 7, 2026
We track 17 restaurants in Boston, spanning fast-food chains, seafood, and Mediterranean-style grill counters, and all of them have menu-level nutrition data on file.
The highest-protein dish in our Boston data is Whole Foods Market's Rotisserie Chicken (1/2 Bird), at 540 calories and 72g of protein. Atlantic Fish Company's Grilled Swordfish (10oz) is close behind at 520 calories and 62g of protein — the same protein count as Chipotle's Chicken Bowl (No Rice, Double Protein) at 485 calories and 62g of protein, though the Chipotle bowl gets there for 35 fewer calories. Pollo Lounge and Grill's 1/2 Grilled Chicken with Side Salad is 450 calories with 55g of protein, and b.good's Jalapeno Ranch Chicken Burger is 623 calories with 51g of protein. Dig's Hot Honey Chicken Bowl is 850 calories with 48g of protein, and Shake Shack's Double ShackBurger, ordered with no cheese and no sauce, matches that 48g of protein at 470 calories — 380 fewer calories for the same protein count.
Across a list this size, the calorie range at any given protein level is wide — two dishes can match on protein and still differ by dozens or even hundreds of calories, as the Dig bowl and the Shake Shack burger show here. It's worth checking both numbers side by side rather than assuming higher protein always means higher calories.
