Healthy Restaurants in Boulder

We track five restaurants in Boulder: Flower Child, Fresh Thymes, Protein Bar, Wahoo's Fish Taco, and Whole Foods Market's hot bar, all with menu data logged.

Wahoo's Fish Taco has the highest-protein dish on our Boulder list — the Sunset Chopped Salad with Carnitas, at 871 calories and 61g of protein. Its Fajita Veggie Bowl with Carnitas is next at 814 calories and 52g of protein, matching Whole Foods Market's Athlete's Choice (580 calories, 52g protein) on protein but at 234 more calories. Fresh Thymes' Boulder Power Bowl is 450 calories with 42g of protein, and its Mountain Athlete Plate is 420 calories with 38g of protein, landing between the Boulder Power Bowl and Protein Bar's offerings on protein density. Flower Child's Altitude Protein Plate is 450 calories with 40g of protein — the same calorie count as the Boulder Power Bowl, 2g apart on protein. Protein Bar's own menu clusters near 35g of protein: its Power Performance Bowl and Flatiron Fitness Bowl are both 35g of protein, at 450 and 410 calories respectively, and its Boulder Breakfast is 380 calories with 32g of protein.

When two dishes match on protein but not on calories, as the Fajita Veggie Bowl with Carnitas and the Athlete's Choice do here, the lower-calorie option is the more efficient pick if your goal is protein per calorie rather than a bigger meal.
