Quick answer: the Chipotle high protein menu runs from a chicken protein cup (32 g protein, $4.00) to the Double High Protein Bowl (81 g, $13.80). Best value per gram: the High Protein Cup – Pollo Asado.
Chipotle high protein menu prices
None of these items are new ingredients — they are named builds with fixed fillings, so the price is the regular price of the parts. A protein cup costs what an extra portion of that meat costs; the Double High Protein Bowl is a chicken bowl plus extra chicken; the Low Calorie Bowl is a chicken salad base with guacamole. That also means their prices change from city to city like the rest of the menu.

Two of the bowls carry a "GLP-1 friendly" tag on Chipotle's menu: the High Protein-High Fiber Bowl (46 g protein, 14 g fiber, 540 calories) and the High Protein – Low Calorie Bowl (36 g protein, 470 calories).
Grams in every meat and sofritas
For this kind of order the choice of meat matters more than the format. Chicken gives the most grams and the most per calorie; carnitas the least per calorie because of its fat. Sofritas is the plant-based option with 8 g — a sofritas bowl with black beans gets to about 26 g in total.
Grams per 4 oz portion
| Meat or tofu | Grams | Calories | g per 100 cal |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chicken | 32 g | 180 | 17.8 g |
| Steak | 21 g | 150 | 14 g |
| Barbacoa | 24 g | 170 | 14.1 g |
| Carnitas | 23 g | 210 | 11 g |
| Sofritas | 8 g | 150 | 5.3 g |
Build your own order
You do not need the named presets to eat this way at Chipotle. Any entrée with chicken and black beans has about 40 g before you add anything; extra chicken ($4.00) adds another 32 g. A few builds and their prices at the typical restaurant:
Builds of your own
| Order | Typical price | Grams | Calories |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chicken bowl + extra chicken | $13.80 | 82 g | 835 |
| Chicken burrito | $9.80 | 58 g | 975 |
| Steak bowl + extra steak | $17.80 | 60 g | 775 |
| Chicken salad (with vinaigrette) | $9.80 | 48 g | 680 |
| Two chicken protein cups | $8.00 | 64 g | 360 |
The best value per gram on the whole menu is a regular chicken entrée: about $1.96 per 10 g in a chicken bowl, against $1.25 in a chicken cup on its own.
Cups as a snack or add-on
The cups are simply a side of meat, and at $4.00 for chicken they cost the same as adding extra chicken to an entrée. They suit two situations: a post-workout snack without rice or tortilla, and topping up a kids meal or a salad someone else ordered. Pollo asado gives the most per cup (37 g), steak the least (21 g) and is the dearest at $6.00.
