147 orders under 600
35g most protein in one item
38g protein in a full meal
18 entrées over 600

As of September 2026, 147 of the 237 Sonic Drive-In items we track fit under 600 calories, and the most protein in a complete Sonic Drive-In meal under 600 is 38 g (CRISPY TENDERS (5 PC.), a HOT CHILI, and a water).

Three complete Sonic Drive-In meals under 600 calories

Under 600, the most-protein entrée — the CRISPY TENDERS (5 PC.), 430 cal — leaves 170 calories for a side. Entrée first, then a side, then a drink if there is room — the same greedy order the MinMax app uses (water unless a shake adds 10 g of protein). All 3 are the same as under 500: nothing between 500 and 600 calories beats them on their goal.
