Drop your city + your go-to high-protein restaurant order. I travel a lot for work and eating out used to stress me tf out. Now I've got a mental database of safe orders and I want to build it out. I'll start:

Chicago: Portillo's chopped salad with grilled chicken. Skip the pasta add extra chicken. Like 45g protein and actually delicious.

Houston: Chipotle bowl — double chicken, black beans, fajita veggies, pico, lettuce. Skip the rice and sour cream. Easily 55g protein and I get it like 3x a week, no shame lol

NYC: Any halal cart — chicken over salad instead of rice. Literally everywhere, cheap, and you're looking at 40+ grams. White sauce on the side because it's basically mayo but I'm not a monster I still want some.

LA: Sweetgreen harvest bowl with double protein. Overpriced? Yes. Delicious? Also yes. Instagram-worthy? Obviously. We're in LA. 😂
