Three phones showing Pleit answering high-protein DoorDash questions, with picks like Swiss Chalet's Quarter Chicken Dinner, St-Hubert's butter chicken and a Dairy Queen triple hamburger

The top high protein option on DoorDash at a big chain is Swiss Chalet’s Quarter Chicken Dinner with white meat, at 63g of protein and 540 calories. St-Hubert’s butter chicken and Little Caesars’ wings also clear 55g.

This guide is for anyone ordering on DoorDash who wants a real protein hit in one meal. You’ll get 10 high protein options with 40g or more at 750 calories or less, plus the biggest orders and what to watch.

What are high protein options on DoorDash

High protein options on DoorDash are meals you can order on the app that give you a big share of your day’s protein at once. For this guide, that means 40g of protein or more in one meal.

We also capped it at 750 calories, so the protein doesn’t come with a whole day’s food. Out of 1,004 meals in Pleit’s database, 225 have 40g or more, and 42 of those stay at 750 calories or less.

DoorDash shows calories when restaurants post them, but protein is rarely on the menu. Pleit pulls it from each chain’s own guide so you can compare across restaurants.

Rotisserie chicken wins again

Swiss Chalet and St-Hubert top this list because rotisserie chicken is mostly protein. The Quarter Chicken Dinner gives you 63g of protein, and the price of that is 1,450mg of sodium.

If you want even more, the Half Chicken Dinner has 109g of protein in 970 calories. It’s a lot of food, so plenty of people split it into two meals.

The biggest protein orders on DoorDash

Two meals in our data reach 109g: Swiss Chalet’s Half Chicken Dinner and KFC’s 20 Hot Wings. The difference is calories, with the wings at 1,520 compared to 970 for the chicken dinner.

Little Caesars’ wings are an easy win if you skip the pizza. Eight Oven Roasted Caesar Wings have 56g of protein in 560 calories.

Watch the sodium on high protein orders

Big protein often comes with a lot of salt. Freshii’s Protein Power Bowl has 57g of protein and 3,420mg of sodium, and Little Caesars’ Buffalo wings have 3,390mg.

Osmow’s Lamb On The Salad (Regular) is the outlier, with 41g of protein and only 452mg of sodium. If salt matters to you, it’s worth a look.

How Pleit finds high protein options on DoorDash

Ask Pleit something like “40g protein for dinner” or “most protein under 700 cal”. It checks every meal in its database and gives you three picks with the numbers.

Each pick tells you why it’s there, like the most protein or the most protein per calorie. You can add limits like sodium or budget in the same sentence.

Pleit doesn’t deliver. Once you’ve picked, you order it on DoorDash or any app you like. See Pleit vs DoorDash for how they fit together.
