Fast food items with the most protein, by chain

Values converted by script from official files; text drafted with AI assistance From 24 chains’ official nutrition information Latest check How pages are made

2,483 menu items at all 24 chains on this site meet this list’s rule. First is the Chick-fil-A Chick-n-Strips (10 ct), with 96 g of protein, at 1,020 calories.

Rule: every single serving with a published protein value, highest protein first (ties: fewer calories first). One row per item, at its size that ranks highest; at most three items from any one chain in the main table, so no single menu fills it.

Protein per serving follows portion size, so the top of this list is mostly large burgers, chicken orders and bowls; they are also high in calories and sodium, shown alongside. The Daily Value for protein is 50 g, so a serving with 25 g gives half of it. For protein with fewer calories, see the protein-per-calorie list.

Values are per serving as each chain publishes it. Portions differ between chains, so compare the serving column as well as the figures. Catering and party sizes, whole cakes, multi-packs, orders of 12 or more pieces, values given per piece and published figures that cannot all be right are left out.
