Healthy Restaurants in Raleigh
Updated weekly · Last refresh: September 7, 2026
Raleigh has five restaurants with nutrition data in our database: CAVA, Chipotle Mexican Grill, Happy+Hale, Sweetgreen, and True Food Kitchen. Chipotle's Double Chicken Bowl carries the most protein on file for the city, at 640 calories and 68g of protein. True Food Kitchen's Grass-Fed Burger is next, with 51g of protein at 620 calories, followed by Sweetgreen's Hot Honey Chicken Plate at 490 calories and 49g of protein.
CAVA's Harissa Honey Chicken Bowl and Happy+Hale's Chimmi Steak Bowl both list 38g of protein, at 470 and 440 calories respectively — nearly identical protein for a 30-calorie difference. True Food Kitchen also lists a Citrus Salmon Salad at 420 calories with 36g of protein, the lowest-calorie option among the higher-protein dishes here. Across all five restaurants, protein on the dishes we have on file ranges from that 36g up to Chipotle's 68g — a 32g spread within a calorie range of 420 to 640 calories.
When protein numbers are this close between two dishes, the calorie total is the detail worth checking before you decide — a 30-calorie gap, like the one between CAVA's and Happy+Hale's bowls, can be the deciding factor.
