Macaroni salad is the calorie bomb
At 300 calories and 24g fat per scoop, macaroni salad is the heaviest side at Ono. Trading one scoop for fresh mix salad (35 cal) cuts 265 calories in a single swap. A double scoop is 600 calories; the 4-scoop family size is 1,200.
Rice vs cabbage
Steamed rice is 190 calories and 40g carbs per scoop (380 / 80g for the standard two). Swapping a scoop for cabbage (35 cal / 6g carbs) saves about 155 calories and 34g of carbs. Pair that with the mac-to-fresh-mix swap and a standard plate drops roughly 420 calories, protein untouched.
The fresh mix salad sizes
Fresh mix salad comes in three portions: a 4 oz side (35 cal), the 5 oz Aloha Plate portion (60 cal), and a 12 oz plate base (105 cal) you can build a Gourmet Salad on. All three run low-calorie and low-sodium; the dressing (63 cal / 1 oz) is where most added calories come from.
The default plate math
An Ono plate comes with two scoops of steamed rice and one scoop of macaroni salad: 680 calories of sides before the protein. That's why a 460-calorie BBQ Chicken plate eats like 1,140. Learn the side numbers and you control the plate.
