Healthy Restaurants in Denver

We track five restaurants with a Denver listing: Root Down, True Food Kitchen, Vital Root, Wahoo's Fish Taco, and Whole Foods Market. Full nutrition data is only on file for two of them so far, Wahoo's Fish Taco and Whole Foods Market; the other three are listed without a filled-in menu yet.

Of the meals we do have, the highest-protein item is Whole Foods Market's Rotisserie Chicken (1/2 Bird), at 540 calories for 72 grams of protein — more protein and fewer calories than Wahoo's Fish Taco's Double Protein Chicken Burrito Bowl, which lists 620 calories for 52 grams. Whole Foods Market's Grilled Salmon Fillet (8oz) comes in at 480 calories for 48 grams of protein, and its Hot Bar Turkey Breast Slices are a lean option at 155 calories for 33 grams. Wahoo's Charbroiled Fish Bowl lists 480 calories for 32 grams of protein.

If a menu offers a whole cooked protein alongside a bowl version of the same protein, compare the grams of protein per 100 calories rather than the serving size alone — smaller, simpler preparations often carry more protein per calorie than mixed bowls with rice, dressing, or bread built in.
