Healthy Restaurants in Indianapolis

We track eight restaurants in Indianapolis, though three of them, Chipotle Mexican Grill, Sweetgreen, and True Food Kitchen, don't have menu items in our database yet, so we can't compare their macros. The other five all publish dishes in the 380 to 490 calorie range with 32 to 42 grams of protein.

Three dishes tie at 42 grams of protein: CAVA's Grilled Chicken + Steak Bowl (450 calories), First Watch's Protein Scrambler (460 calories), and The Med's Lemon Broiled Chicken Gyro Plate (480 calories). Of those three, CAVA's bowl delivers the same protein for 10 fewer calories than First Watch's scrambler and 30 fewer than The Med's gyro plate. Cafe Patachou's Grilled Chicken Grain Bowl (430 calories, 35 grams of protein) and Top Out Cafe's Grilled Chicken Protein Bowl (410 calories, 36 grams of protein) are both lower-calorie options if you'd rather trim total calories than chase the highest protein number.

When two dishes list the same protein number, the one with fewer calories is doing more work for you. It's worth lining the numbers up side by side rather than assuming a "protein bowl" label automatically means the best ratio.
