Where the calories come from

At 460 cal for 57g protein, the chicken by itself runs about 12g of protein per 100 calories, behind only plain Grilled Chicken Breast among Ono's proteins. What pushes a plate past 1,100 is the sides: two scoops of rice (380) and a scoop of mac salad (300) add 680 calories, more than the chicken. The chicken isn't the problem here. The mac salad is.

Swap math: about 420 calories off, same protein

Trade the macaroni salad for a scoop of fresh mix salad and you save around 265 calories. Swap the second scoop of rice for cabbage and that's roughly 155 more. Do both and the full plate drops from about 1,140 to around 720, with all 57g of protein still on it. No swap at Ono saves more.

Sizing it down

BBQ Chicken also comes as a Mini Meal (230 cal / 29g), an Aloha Plate pick-one portion (307 cal / 38g), and a Gourmet Salad add-on (230 cal / 29g) you can set over fresh mix instead of rice. The Aloha portion gives you the most protein per calorie of the three.

Sodium runs moderate

The plate carries 1,260 mg of sodium, moderate by Ono standards. That lands just under Teriyaki Chicken (1,290 mg at the same calories) and less than half of Island Fire Chicken (2,987 mg). Among the sauced chickens, BBQ is the safer call.
