Protein per dollar

How to read the ranking

The figure divides the median pickup price by the protein on the record and scales it to 10 g. An entree row is the protein alone at the entree’s price, so a chicken bowl reads as 32 g for $9.80; the classic build carries 52 g for the same price, because the beans and the cheese add protein at no charge. The High Protein Cups are the cheapest protein sold on its own: High Protein Cup - Pollo Asado $4.60 for 37 g ($1.24 per 10 g), High Protein Cup - Chicken $4.00 for 32 g ($1.25 per 10 g) and High Protein Cup - Steak $6.00 for 21 g ($2.86 per 10 g).

Double protein per dollar

A second portion buys 32 g of chicken for $4.00, $1.25 per 10 g, 21 g of steak for $6.00, $2.86 per 10 g, 24 g of barbacoa for $6.00, $2.50 per 10 g, 23 g of carnitas for $4.75, $2.07 per 10 g, 8 g of Sofritas for $4.00, $5.00 per 10 g and 29 g of Pollo Asado for $4.60, $1.59 per 10 g. The brand’s own hacks page puts double protein first: “Some favorite protein hacks for building high protein Chipotle meals include asking for double protein (Chicken, Steak, Barbacoa, Carnitas), adding both beans for extra plant-based protein, choosing a protein bowl instead of a burrito to fit more ingredients, adding fajita veggies for volume and nutrients, or pairing your meal with high protein sides like beans or extra protein.”
