How we rank and where the numbers come from

“Healthiest” here means the most protein inside a moderate calorie range. It’s the same formula as the app’s Fat-loss goal: 400–650 calories, a 40 g protein target, protein per calorie, fiber, and a small preference for better-sourced numbers. It doesn’t weigh sodium, sugar or allergens.

Every number carries a label. Published is the restaurant's own figure for that exact item. Calculated is added up from the restaurant's published ingredient values for a standard build, shown as a likely range. Estimated means no published figure exists, so it is estimated and always shown as a range. Tap a label to see its source.

Menus change and portions vary. My Fit Menu never verifies allergens, so confirm ingredients with the restaurant. Spotted a wrong number? Email support@myfitmenu.health.
