Restaurant Calorie Calculators
By Alec Zakhary Updated
Three build-your-own bowl calculators — Chipotle, CAVA, and Sweetgreen. Pick your base, protein, and toppings; see the official calories and macros from each chain's own nutrition data, plus a realistic portion-variance range most calculators hide. The Chipotle range is built from a published 75-bowl portion audit, not a guess.
Pick a chain
Each calculator is built from that chain's own published nutrition data. The realistic range is the differentiator — a single "official" number assumes every scoop is the exact standardized serving, which real portions rarely are.
Chipotle Calorie Calculator
Audit-based rangeBuild any bowl and see official calories plus a per-ingredient realistic range built from a published 75-bowl portion audit and 200 customer reports — rice and protein scoops swing far more than salsas.

CAVA Calorie Calculator
Official + bandBuild any bowl and see official per-ingredient calories and macros, plus a documented portion band (−15% to +20%) for real-world scoop variance. No invented chain-specific numbers.

How these calculators work
Every official calorie and macro number comes straight from the chain's published nutrition data Brand. We do not re-estimate the baseline.
The realistic range is sourced differently depending on what data exists:
- Chipotle uses a per-ingredient variance model User built from a published 75-bowl portion audit and 200 aggregated customer reports, so rice and protein scoops swing more than salsas. See the underlying research.
- CAVA and Sweetgreen have no published portion study, so they apply a documented fast-casual portion band Est. (−15% to +20%) on top of the official numbers. We don't invent chain-specific variance figures where the data doesn't exist.
