How this order was chosen
We tried every Taco Bell order a person would realistically order from the published menu (tacos, burritos and specialties, side) and kept the ones with 750 calories or fewer. Among those, the order with the most protein wins, but an item only earns its place if it adds at least 1g of protein for every 100 calories. Without that rule the winner fills up with sides that add a gram or two of protein and a lot of calories. Drinks are left out; pair the meal with a zero-calorie one.
- Hot, mild, fire and diablo sauce packets are listed at 0 calories, so use as many as you like.
