QDOBA nutrition (lowest calories first)

Calories and macros for the 84 QDOBA rows this page lists: the 25 single orders plus 3 desserts, 12 kids' items, 38 sauces, toppings and add-ons and 6 rows kept out of meals (sold only at some stores, or not on the chain's own menu). The other 65 rows we track (51 drinks, 9 sauces, toppings and add-ons the display filter leaves out, and 5 kids' items the display filter leaves out) are left out of this table and kept in the JSON. Not included yet: its quesadillas, tacos, salads you build, mini bowls, kids' meals, breakfast, the seasonal Loaded Tortilla Soup and chips-and-dip orders (the brochure prints no portion that adds up to them); bowls, burritos and nachos with the limited-time Spicy Tequila Lime Steak, the Impossible or the Cholula Hot & Sweet Chicken protein, or with other rice, beans, salsas or toppings; the Quesabirria Burrito and Quesadilla (their fat contradicts their calories); the Keto Bowls and the Cholula Hot & Sweet Chicken Burrito (not on qdoba.com's menu); the Southwest Steak Burrito, the Double Protein Post-Workout Bowl with Steak and the Chocolate Chunk Cookie (qdoba.com's menu prints calories too far from the brochure's); the drinks qdoba.com's menu does not sell, its unsweetened iced tea (not named in the brochure) and its breakfast-only orange juice; and its Canada-only items. QDOBA publishes its build-your-own ingredients beside its Signature Eats, so its bowls, burritos and nachos here are built the way the MinMax app builds them, from those published figures: one 3.5 oz protein with cilantro lime rice, black beans and roasted tomato salsa, a burrito adding the 12.5-inch flour tortilla, and nachos of the 4 oz tortilla chips and 4 oz Three Cheese Queso, as its menu board prices them. Also available as JSON.
