Two yardsticks
Calories per dollar answers how much food a dollar buys; dollars per 10 g of protein answers what the protein costs. Both use the median price read on 19 September 2026 and the nutrition record for the item alone. By calories per dollar: Cheesy Bean and Rice Burrito at 252, Cheesy Double Beef Burrito at 187, Cheesy Toasted Breakfast Burrito at 176, Beefy Potato Loaded Griller at 172 and Classic Luxe Box at 166. By protein: 3 Cheese Chicken Flatbread Melt at $1.25 per 10 g, Cheesy Double Beef Burrito at $1.50 per 10 g, Crispy Chicken Nuggets at $1.51 per 10 g, Cheesy Toasted Breakfast Burrito at $1.53 per 10 g and Cheesy Roll Up at $1.74 per 10 g.
The meals
A combo buys more calories per dollar than most single items because the drink slot costs nothing to fill with a zero calorie choice and the fixed parts are summed: Meal for 2 at 206 calories per dollar, Veggie Meal for 2 at 202 calories per dollar, Classic Luxe Box at 166 calories per dollar and Supreme Luxe Box at 166 calories per dollar.
What value is not
A high calories per dollar figure is a measure of energy, not of anything else. The low sodium page ranks the same lines by sodium and the protein ranking page by protein density, and the three do not agree.
