Healthy Restaurants in Houston

We track ten restaurants with nutrition data in Houston, covering everything from a burger and chicken-sandwich drive-thru to bowl-and-salad chains built specifically around protein counts. Individual menu items range from the low 30s up to 64 grams of protein.

The highest-protein dish on file is Original ChopShop's Chicken & Prosciutto, at 750 calories for 64 grams of protein. Two other Houston chains list an identical bowl: Local Foods' Grilled Chicken Power Bowl and Flower Child's Grilled Chicken Plate both come in at 480 calories for 45 grams of protein. Mendocino Farms' Grilled Chicken Pesto Sandwich lists 650 calories for 42 grams of protein — 170 more calories than the Local Foods and Flower Child bowls for 3 grams less protein. On the breakfast side, Chick-fil-A's Hash Brown Scramble Burrito lists 700 calories for 34 grams of protein, and Whataburger's Breakfast Platter with Sausage lists 750 calories for 37 grams.

Two dishes with the same calorie and protein numbers can still differ in sodium, fat, or fiber, so if a bowl and a sandwich look identical on paper, it's worth checking the full nutrition panel rather than assuming they're interchangeable.
