Questions people actually ask
What is the highest protein order at Chipotle?
A double-chicken bowl. Chicken carries 32g of protein per 4oz portion for only 180 calories, which is 17.8 grams of protein per 100 calories — the best ratio on the menu by a wide margin.
How much protein is in a Chipotle bowl?
The build above reaches about 77g of protein for 750 calories. A single-protein bowl typically lands near half that, depending on which protein and whether beans are included.
Which Chipotle protein is best for macros?
Chicken for protein per calorie, steak if you want the lowest calories per portion, and sofritas only if you need it plant-based — it carries noticeably less protein than the meat options.

Where these numbers come from
Every figure on this page is calculated from Chipotle's own published nutrition facts chart, captured 2026-09-14. Items are shown as normally served unless a build is spelled out. Real orders are assembled by hand, so treat these as close estimates rather than laboratory measurements — and if a number matters to you medically, confirm it with the restaurant.
