Where these numbers come from

Nutrition values here are Estimated, not verified restaurant nutrition. They are based on menu descriptions or dish names and assumed ingredients and portions. The displayed ranges use a fixed margin of ±25% for a described dish and ±35% when only its name is available; they are not measured confidence intervals, and actual values may fall outside them. A source label links to the menu used when available, which may not provide nutrition information.

“Best” means the most protein inside a moderate calorie range: 400–650 calories and a 40 g protein target, the same formula as the app’s Fat-loss goal. Portions vary and menus change, so confirm with the restaurant, and never rely on these for allergies.
