What double protein costs
A second portion of protein is a priced add-on to a burrito, bowl or salad: $4.00 for chicken or Sofritas at the median across 368 restaurants on 25 September 2026, $4.75 for carnitas, $4.60 for Pollo Asado and $6.00 for steak or barbacoa. The add-on tracks the protein premium: steak costs $2.00 more than chicken as an entree and $2.00 more as a second portion. The menu also sells the doubled build ready made: the Double High Protein Bowl was $13.80 at the median, exactly the chicken bowl ($9.80) plus the second portion ($4.00).
| Protein | Second portion, median | Range read | Restaurants | Calories of the extra portion | Protein, doubled | $ per 10 g of the extra |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|

| Steak | $6.00 | $5.35 to $7.10 | 368 | 300 calories | 42 g | $2.86 |
| Barbacoa | $6.00 | $5.35 to $7.10 | 368 | 340 calories | 48 g | $2.50 |
| Carnitas | $4.75 | $4.10 to $5.85 | 368 | 420 calories | 46 g | $2.07 |
| Sofritas | $4.00 | $3.35 to $5.10 | 368 | 300 calories | 16 g | $5.00 |

What it adds to the plate
The brand’s calculator records the extra portion as calories only: 360 calories for chicken, 300 calories for steak, 420 calories for carnitas. Protein doubles with the portion, 32 g of chicken becomes 64 g, and a build with double protein on this site is marked a partial sum because the extra record carries nothing but calories. Per 10 g of protein the second portion of chicken costs $1.25 at the median, against $1.25 for the High Protein Cup of chicken sold as a side; the double protein against the cup page weighs the two.
The free double protein days
The brand has run one-day free double protein offers; the terms of the most recent: “Valid 8/27/26 only, for one free double protein portion (meat or Sofritas) on one full-priced burrito, bowl or salad entrée. Must use code PROTEIN at time of redemption.” “Not valid on Chipotle’s High Protein Cup side items, tacos, quesadillas or kids’ meals.” “Mixed protein orders will be charged for the higher-priced protein.” That last line is also the rule for a half-and-half order on any day: two proteins on one entree are charged at the dearer protein’s price, not as double protein. The half and half guide has the arithmetic.
