Why We Built This Calculator

Moe's Southwest Grill has over 700 US locations and one of the most customizable menus in fast casual dining. That flexibility is exactly what makes it hard to track nutrition — two people can order a "chicken burrito" and end up with meals that differ by 500+ calories depending on their toppings.

Moe's publishes official nutrition data in compliance with FDA labeling requirements, but it's a PDF buried in their website — not a real-time meal builder. We took that data, cross-referenced it with the USDA Food Data Central database, and built an interactive tool that gives you calories, protein, fat, carbs, fiber, and sodium for any combination you can order.

Whether you're counting calories, tracking macros for a fitness goal, managing carbs for diabetes, watching sodium for heart health, or just curious what's in the queso — this calculator gives you the answer in under 90 seconds.

Every number in this calculator comes from two primary sources:

• Moe's Southwest Grill Official Nutrition InformationThe nutrition data Moe's publishes for FDA menu labeling compliance. This is the primary source — it reflects what's actually served in Moe's restaurants and is updated when menu items change.
• USDA Food Data CentralThe USDA's comprehensive food composition database, used to verify and cross-reference ingredient-level nutrition values. Where Moe's official data and USDA data differ slightly, we use Moe's figures as primary.
• FDA Daily Reference ValuesUsed for the percentage daily value context shown for each nutrient (2,000 cal, 50g protein, 2,300mg sodium, 28g fiber daily reference).

We use an additive nutrition model — the same approach Moe's uses in their official documentation. Each menu component has fixed nutrition values. The total is the sum of every ingredient you select.

For example: a burrito tortilla (300 cal) + chicken (200 cal) + cilantro lime rice (210 cal) + black beans (130 cal) + cheese (110 cal) + pico de gallo (10 cal) = 960 calories total. Every topping is independent, and every calculation is transparent.

Important disclaimer: Actual nutrition at any restaurant varies based on portion size, cooking technique, ingredient freshness, and regional preparation differences. These calculations are accurate estimates based on official data — not certified clinical measurements. For medical dietary decisions, consult a registered dietitian and reference Moe's official in-restaurant nutrition guides directly.
