CAVA specializes in customizable Mediterranean bowls, pitas, and salads featuring grilled meats, fresh greens, and dips inspired by Greek and Middle Eastern flavors at its multiple New York locations including Wall Street and Union Square. For the single best macro-friendly order, build a SuperGreens base bowl with double grilled chicken (56g protein), RightRice (18g protein), tzatziki, and yogurt dill dressing, delivering high protein around 80g total while keeping carbs moderate under 60g and calories around 750 by skipping high-fat toppings. The highest-protein item is the Chicken + RightRice curated bowl at 46g protein for 750 calories, combining grilled chicken with high-protein RightRice. Watch out for the garlic dressing at 180 calories per serving, mostly from 20g fat with zero protein, which can quickly inflate bowl calories without nutritional benefit.
This approach maximizes lean protein from grilled chicken and RightRice while using low-calorie greens and dressings to control macros effectively for fitness goals.
