Salad and Go calories: the best order for every goal

Salad and Go publishes a full per-item calorie and macro chart, and its core salads land in a notably low-calorie band. Every standard salad with pulled chicken and no dressing is 490 calories or fewer, with several around 280 to 310 calories while still delivering 25 to 39g of protein. The trade-off is in the wraps and breakfast burritos, where tortillas push items to 740 calories and up.

What Salad and Go publishes

The most reliable answer to “how many calories is this?” comes from Salad and Go’s own nutrition data. Chains revise recipes and portions, so we anchor every figure on this page to the chain’s current publication and link directly so you can verify before ordering.

  • Salad and Go publishes a full per-item nutrition chart (calories, fat, sodium, total carbs, fiber, sugar, protein) plus dietary flags for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-friendly, and dairy-friendly.
  • Salad nutrition is listed with one portion of pulled chicken and no dressing, and the chart gives the swap math: tofu adds 30 calories, steak adds 50, and no protein removes 90.
  • Allergen transparency follows the FDA's 9 major allergens; the chart notes the restaurants are not gluten-free or dairy-free and cannot guarantee against cross-contact.
