Why this filter combination matters

Filtering on the word "chicken" catches grilled plates, bowls, sandwiches and wraps alike. Sorting by density rather than raw protein means a 50g-protein, 500-calorie chicken bowl outranks a 55g-protein, 900-calorie one — the more efficient order for most people's macros.
