Healthy Restaurants in Irvine

We track nine restaurant listings with published nutrition data in Irvine, and protein numbers here run high. Panini Kabob Grill's Combo Kabob lists 95 grams of protein at 945 calories, the most protein of any dish in our Irvine data.

For leaner high-protein options, Urban Plates' Grilled Chicken is 230 calories with 35 grams of protein, and its Grilled Steak is 250 calories with 37 grams of protein. Cava's Double Protein Chicken Bowl is 445 calories with 52 grams of protein, and Healthy Protein Spot's Double Chicken Power Bowl is 620 calories with 76 grams of protein. True Food Kitchen and Tender Greens both carry large menus in Irvine: True Food Kitchen's Grass-Fed Burger and All-American Burger each list 51 grams of protein, and Tender Greens' Fried Chicken Sandwich tops its list at 992 calories and 53 grams of protein.

With this many options on one menu list, it's worth checking calories and protein side by side rather than picking on protein grams alone. A smaller, simpler plate, like a grilled protein without heavy sauces or bread, often gets you close to the protein of a bigger sandwich for a fraction of the calories.
