Frequently Asked Questions
Our calculations are based on Moe's official nutrition information and USDA Food Data Central. However, actual nutritional values can vary slightly based on portion sizes, preparation methods, and ingredient sourcing. For official Moe's nutrition information, consult their website or ask at your local restaurant. This tool provides estimates for comparison and dietary tracking purposes.
Yes! This calculator helps you build meals according to various dietary needs. You can track macronutrients for low-carb, high-protein, or low-fat diets. Simply adjust your selections and monitor the nutrition outputs. Always verify with Moe's about allergen handling and cross-contamination risks.
Yes, Moe's menu contains common allergens including wheat, dairy, soy, and nuts. The calculator doesn't specifically flag allergens, so always check with Moe's directly about your allergies. Staff can provide detailed allergen information and advise on safe preparation to avoid cross-contamination.
Steak and chicken tie as the best protein choices at approximately 28-30g of protein per serving. Pork comes in close with 26g, followed by ground beef at 24g. Tofu offers 12g of protein and is the best plant-based option for vegetarians and vegans.
Guacamole adds about 160 calories but provides 14g of healthy unsaturated fats, 6g of fiber, and beneficial nutrients like potassium and vitamin K. If you're tracking macros, guacamole is nutrient-dense and pairs well with protein for satiety. Compare against your daily calorie goals.
A salad base with chicken, no rice, no beans, and light toppings (just pico and lettuce) would be around 200-250 calories. Alternatively, a bowl with chicken, rice, black beans, and pico is around 450 calories. The calculator lets you experiment to find your ideal low-calorie combination.
The calculator covers standard Moe's toppings. If you add extras like extra cheese, double meat, or specialty items, those won't be reflected here. Speak with Moe's staff about nutrition for customizations, or estimate using our topping values as a guide.
Most Moe's meals contain 1,000-2,000mg of sodium depending on ingredients and preparation. This can represent 50-85% of the FDA's daily recommended limit of 2,300mg. If you're on a low-sodium diet, inform Moe's staff so they can prepare your meal with minimal added salt.
Absolutely! Moe's excels at customizable, protein-rich meals. Combining a protein with beans and rice easily gives you 40-50g of protein per meal. Choose lean proteins like chicken, add beans for additional protein and fiber, and you'll have a balanced, macro-friendly meal.
We focused on the major base items, proteins, and toppings that make up most of your meal's nutrition. Salsas and dressings vary by recipe and would only add a small amount. For precise nutrition with all extras, check Moe's official nutrition database or ask in-store.

Moe's Nutrition Guide: Building the Right Meal
Moe's is a genuinely flexible menu if you know what each component contributes. Here's what the data tells us about the most common nutrition goals people bring to Moe's.
Lowest-Calorie Options at Moe's
The lowest-calorie path through Moe's starts with a salad or bowl base (0–15 cal), tofu or chicken protein (120–200 cal), no rice (saves 210 cal), black beans for fiber, and free toppings like pico de gallo, lettuce, and jalapeños. Skip queso (80 cal), sour cream (60 cal), and guacamole (160 cal) if you're going ultra-low. A tofu bowl built this way comes in around 370–420 calories with 25g protein and 14g fiber — more filling than it sounds, thanks to the bean fiber.
If you still want cheese (worth it for 7g protein), a chicken salad with black beans, cheese, and pico runs about 465 cal — solid for a full restaurant meal. Use the moes calorie calculator above to test different combinations before you order.
Best High-Protein Meals at Moe's
For maximum protein, start with a bowl or burrito base, choose chicken or steak, add both rice and pinto beans, and include cheese. That combination delivers 53–58g protein depending on the base. Steak edges out chicken in fat and calories but gives you comparable protein at 28–30g per serving.
The beans are doing real work here — 8–9g protein per serving with almost no fat. Don't skip them for high-protein builds. Check out our guide on the best high-protein meals at Moe's for full macro breakdowns across different protein + topping combinations.
Watching Sodium at Moe's
Sodium accumulates fast at Moe's. The burrito tortilla alone contributes 480mg — over 20% of the AHA's 2,300mg daily limit. Add steak (280mg), rice (420mg), pinto beans (280mg), cheese (220mg), and queso (160mg), and a single meal hits 1,840mg before any salsa. A quesadilla base is the sodium red flag at 720mg for the shell alone.
Lower-sodium strategies: bowl base (no tortilla, 0mg base sodium), tofu protein (80mg), pico de gallo (20mg), and lettuce (10mg). A low-sodium tofu bowl with black beans and pico clocks in around 620mg total — well within a manageable range. Read our full Moe's sodium guide if this is a key health consideration for you.
Who Should Use This Calculator?
This tool is useful for anyone who eats at Moe's and cares about what they're eating — which is a lot of people.
Fitness and macro trackers use it to pre-log Moe's meals in apps like MyFitnessPal or Cronometer before going to the restaurant — it's easier to plan ahead than to measure at the counter. People managing diabetes or blood sugar find the carbohydrate total especially useful; a burrito with rice and beans can push 120–130g carbs, which is significant for insulin planning. Heart health patients watching sodium can instantly see which menu items to avoid or modify to stay under 1,000mg per meal.
Moe's frequent diners — especially those who eat there multiple times per week — benefit from understanding the cumulative nutritional impact of their go-to orders. And parents feeding kids at Moe's can use the kid-sized portion logic (half servings of most items) to estimate children's meals.
