Low-carb, if you skip the standard sides

The pork is 4g carbs and 50g protein. The default plate then piles on two scoops of rice (80g carbs) and mac salad (17g), turning a 4g-carb protein into a 100g+ carb plate. Order it over cabbage and fresh mix salad instead and a full meal stays near 550 calories and under 20g of carbs, rare for a plate lunch.

The fat trade

Low carb comes with high fat: 30g total and 13g saturated per plate portion, since the pork is fatty by nature. You get 50g of protein either way, so it works as a keto-leaning pick but not a lean one. The Family Meal (serves 4) is 1,100 cal / 106g protein / 26g saturated fat.

Plate and Aloha portions are identical

Kalua pork is unusual: the Plate Lunch and Aloha Plate pick-one portions are the same 480 cal / 50g protein, and the source lists no smaller Aloha portion. There's no calorie saving in the format, so the sides are where you cut.
