Under 600, the most-protein meal is built on the Classic Caesar Salad with Grilled Chicken without Dressing (357 cal), which leaves 243 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 are the same as under 500: nothing between 500 and 600 calories beats them on their goal.
