Where these numbers come from

These restaurants don’t publish nutrition, so every number here is Estimated. My Fit Menu reads each restaurant’s own online menu and adds up typical restaurant portions of each dish’s ingredients. Estimates are always ranges: ±25% when the menu describes the dish, ±35% when it only names it. Tap a label to see the menu it came from.

“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.
