Tender Greens' Grilled Chicken Plate matches Protein House's Power Plate on calories at 520 while listing 48g of protein, the same protein figure as the Lean & Mean Bowl. Mendocino Farms' Save Drake Farm's Salad with Chicken carries 45g of protein at 480 calories, and its Grilled Chicken Pesto Sandwich runs higher at 650 calories with 42g of protein. Sweetgreen's Chicken Pesto Parm lists 550 calories with 40g of protein, and Kreation Organic Juicery's Muscle Builder Scramble comes in at 450 calories with 35g of protein.

When you're comparing plates like these, check protein grams against the calorie total rather than the protein number alone — a smaller, lower-calorie plate can carry more protein per calorie than a larger one, so line up both figures on the label before you order.
