Under 500, the most-protein meal is built on the Acai Dream Bowl (Regular) (445 cal), which leaves 55 calories for its sides and drink. One meal-sized entrée, up to two different sides and a drink — the MinMax app's meal and the best under the cap, drink included (water only where no published drink fits; the lightest meal takes a zero-calorie drink, or water). All 3 differ from the meals under 400.
