As of October 2026, 75 of the 88 Taco Bell single orders we track come in at or under 600 calories, and the most protein in a complete Taco Bell meal under 600 is 37 g (A 5-piece Crispy Chicken Nuggets, a Cheesy Roll Up, a side of Black Beans, and a 16-ounce Diet Pepsi).

Three complete Taco Bell meals under 600 calories

Under 600, the most-protein meal is built on the Crispy Chicken Nuggets (5) (320 cal), which leaves 280 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). The lightest meal is unchanged from under 500; the others use the extra 100 calories.
