Moe’s meal calories can vary significantly based on your ingredient choices:

• Simple Bowl (Rice, Chicken, Salsa): ~400-600 calories
• Standard Burrito (Tortilla, Rice, Beans, Meat, Salsa, Cheese): ~700-1000 calories
• Fully Loaded (Large Tortilla, Rice, Beans, Double Meat, Guac, Queso, Sour Cream): Can easily exceed 1000-1600+ calories

Pro Tip: Moe’s flour tortillas are substantial. Choosing a bowl instead of a burrito can instantly save hundreds of calories and carbs. Use our Moe’s calorie calculator for precise nutritional data!

For a healthier, lower-calorie Moe’s meal, consider these smart choices:

• Base: Salad bowl with lettuce, or a “Low-Calorie” bowl option.
• Protein: Grilled Chicken (130 cal) or Sirloin Steak (130 cal) are leanest.
• Grains/Legumes: Skip rice and beans, or opt for a small portion of Pinto Beans (110 cal) or Black Beans (120 cal).
• Toppings: Load up on fresh vegetables (grilled onions & peppers), pico de gallo, and other fresh salsas.
• Avoid/Minimize: Queso, sour cream, cheese, extra tortilla chips, large tortillas.

Best Healthy Combo: Salad with Grilled Chicken, grilled onions & peppers, pico de gallo, and fresh jalapeños = ~300-400 calories with good protein and fiber!

Moe’s offers a variety of protein-rich options to fuel your day:

• Grilled Chicken: 25g protein (130 calories)
• Sirloin Steak: 20g protein (130 calories)
• Pork Carnitas: 22g protein (190 calories)
• Ground Beef: 17g protein (170 calories)
• Adobo Chicken: 23g protein (160 calories)
• Organic Tofu: 14g protein (150 calories)

Adding double meat or tofu can easily boost your protein intake to 40-50+ grams, making Moe’s a great choice for post-workout or satisfying meals.

High-Protein Combo: Bowl with double grilled chicken, pinto beans, fresh pico, and cilantro = ~550 calories with over 50g of protein!

Moe’s can be very low-carb and keto-friendly with careful selections:

• Base: Opt for a Salad bowl with Romaine lettuce.
• Skip High Carbs: Avoid tortillas, rice, and beans.
• Proteins: Grilled Chicken, Sirloin Steak, Pork Carnitas, Ground Beef are excellent choices.
• Low-Carb Toppings: Shredded cheese (100 cal), sour cream (80 cal), guacamole (200 cal), grilled onions & peppers (20 cal), and most salsas (except corn salsa).

A “Keto Salad Bowl” with sirloin steak, extra guacamole, cheese, and a low-carb salsa can easily fit within your daily net carb limits, providing essential fats and protein.

Keto-Friendly Tip: Double meat and extra guacamole are key to hitting your fat and protein macros. Just be mindful of overall calories if that’s also a concern.

These popular additions are delicious but add significant calories and fat:

Adding both guacamole and queso can add over 350 calories and 30g of fat. Enjoy them in moderation or ask for smaller portions to manage your intake.

Portion Control Tip: Moe’s scoop sizes can be generous. Request “light” guacamole or queso to enjoy the flavor with fewer calories. Our calculator can show you the difference!

Sodium content can add up quickly at Moe’s, so choose wisely:

• Base: Opt for a salad bowl with lettuce. Avoid tortillas, which can be high in sodium.
• Lowest Sodium Proteins: Grilled Chicken (310mg) or Sirloin Steak (280mg) are generally lower.
• Salsas: Pico de Gallo (Fresh Tomato Salsa – 200mg) is often a better choice than some of the spicier, more processed salsas.
• Minimize/Avoid: Queso (580mg), shredded cheese (200mg), and especially the seasoned rice and beans, which can have higher sodium.
• Ask for Light: Request “light” portions of meats, cheese, and salsas if possible.

A simple salad with grilled chicken, fresh pico de gallo, and grilled onions & peppers would be among the lowest sodium options at Moe’s.

Sodium Tip: The daily recommended sodium limit is 2,300mg. Many Moe’s meals can easily exceed this, so be mindful of every ingredient, especially highly seasoned ones and cheeses.
