Moe's Nutrition Calculator & Calorie Facts

This Moe's nutrition calculator adds up calories, protein, carbs, fat, and sodium for any Moe's Southwest Grill order as you build it — burrito, bowl, salad, quesadilla, or tacos. Since almost the entire menu is build-your-own, there's no single "Moe's nutrition facts" number that applies to everyone; the same burrito can be 350 calories or 1,100 depending on what goes in it. Build your exact order above to see real numbers, or check the full Moe's nutrition chart for every item.

Unlike a fixed nutrition-facts label, this Moe's nutrition calculator is interactive by design — every base, protein, topping, sauce, and side you add updates the totals instantly, so you can compare a Homewrecker against a lighter bowl, or see exactly what adding queso does to your sodium count, before you order. It draws on the same per-ingredient data used throughout this site — see our sources and methodology for how those figures are compiled and kept current.

Something most calculators don't mention: Moe's includes a side of chips and salsa automatically with most entrées — it's a nice perk, but it adds roughly 400–600 calories, ~20–28g of fat, and 400+mg of sodium to your total whether you planned on eating them or not. If you're watching numbers closely, that free side is worth factoring in deliberately rather than by default. Full breakdown →

The Complete Guide to Moe's Nutrition

Eating well at a fast-casual restaurant like Moe's comes down to one thing: understanding what goes into your meal before you order. A burrito can range from a lean 400-calorie source of protein to a 1,200-calorie sodium-heavy meal depending entirely on the ingredients you choose. The calculator above removes the guesswork, but knowing the principles behind the numbers is what lets you make confident choices on repeat visits — not just this one.

How a Moe's meal is built

Every order starts with a base: a burrito wrapped in a 12-inch flour tortilla, the same fillings as a bowl without the tortilla, a salad, tacos, or a quesadilla. From there you layer on a protein, then toppings — rice, beans, cheese, guacamole, salsas — and finally sauces and sides. Each layer adds calories, macros, and sodium in fairly predictable ways. The tortilla is the single biggest swing factor: a 12-inch flour tortilla adds roughly 310 calories and 49g of carbs before a single filling goes in, which is why switching from a burrito to a bowl is the fastest calorie cut available without giving up any flavor. Proteins vary — adobo chicken is lean and high-protein, while steak and ground beef carry more saturated fat, and tofu is the lowest-calorie option. Toppings are where meals quietly grow: rice, cheese, sour cream, and guacamole are calorie-dense, while fresh vegetables, pico de gallo, and salsa add volume for almost nothing. Sides and queso are the classic trap — a basket of chips with a cup of queso can add 900+ calories on their own, often more than the entrée itself.

Understanding calories and macros

The numbers this calculator tracks map directly to how your body uses food. Protein (4 calories/gram) builds and repairs muscle and keeps you full. Carbohydrates (4 calories/gram) are the main energy source, coming mostly from tortilla, rice, and beans here. Fat (9 calories/gram) is the most energy-dense nutrient, coming from cheese, sour cream, guacamole, and fattier proteins. Sodium isn't a calorie source but matters for blood pressure and fluid balance — Mexican-style fast-casual food tends to run high in it thanks to seasoned meats, cheeses, and salsas, and general dietary guidance suggests most adults keep sodium under 2,300mg/day, meaning a single high-sodium order can eat up a large share of that daily limit. Translate these into a personal target with the BMR, TDEE, and macro calculators.

Building a meal for your goal

There's no single "healthy" order — only the order that fits what you're trying to do. For weight loss: choose a bowl over a burrito, pick a lean protein, load up on vegetables and salsa, and skip or halve the rice, cheese, and sour cream — this typically keeps a filling meal in the 400–600 calorie range (see our weight-loss ordering guide). For muscle gain: prioritize protein with a double portion, keep rice and beans for training fuel, and add guacamole for healthy fats (see our muscle-gain guide). For maintenance: a standard burrito with one protein, moderate toppings, and salsa instead of creamy sauces fits most people, saving chips and queso for an occasional add-on rather than a default. Whatever the goal, small substitutions — bowl over burrito, salsa over sour cream, beans over chips — save hundreds of calories without leaving you hungry.

How we source our numbers

The nutrition values in this calculator are compiled from publicly available nutrition data for Moe's Southwest Grill menu items, cross-checked across sources for consistency. Because restaurants adjust recipes and portion sizes over time, and real-world servings vary by location, treat these figures as close estimates for planning rather than exact laboratory measurements — see our full sources and methodology page for detail. For medical, allergy, or clinical needs, confirm values directly with the restaurant; this site is an independent resource and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Moe's Southwest Grill.

Popular items at a glance

Curious about specific menu items before you build a full order? A fully loaded Homewrecker burrito with rice, beans, protein, and toppings typically lands around 900–1,100 calories. The Stack — two crunchy shells, queso, beans, cheese, and protein — runs roughly 900–1,000 calories in a standard build (see our full Stack breakdown). A side of chips alone is about 390 calories before any dip (see our chips breakdown). For every other item on the menu, the full nutrition chart has exact figures broken out by base, protein, topping, sauce, and side.

Frequently Asked Questions

Got questions about your meal? We have answers.

What is the Moe's Nutrition Calculator?

It's a free, independent tool that lets you build a Moe's order — base, protein, toppings, sauces, sides — and see the running calorie, protein, carb, fat, and sodium total update live as you add each item. Use the calculator at the top of this page to get started.

How does the calculator work?

Select a base, then add a protein, toppings, sauces, and sides using the panels above. Each item you tap adds its nutrition data to the running total shown in the order panel on the right — no submit button, no page reload, the numbers update instantly.

Is this the official Moe's Southwest Grill website?

No — this is an independent, unofficial fan resource. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated on behalf of Moe's Southwest Grill or its parent company. See our disclaimer for full detail.

How accurate is the nutrition information?

Figures are compiled from publicly available nutrition data and cross-checked across sources, but real-world portions can vary by location, especially for hand-scooped items like guacamole, sour cream, and queso. See our sources and methodology for the full picture.

What's the healthiest thing to order at Moe's?

Generally a bowl or salad base with a lean protein (chicken, fish, or tofu), beans, pico de gallo, and salsa instead of a creamy dressing — this style of build typically lands under 350–450 calories. See our weight-loss ordering guide for a full worked example.

Can Moe's fit into a weight-loss or muscle-building plan?

Yes, for both — the menu's build-your-own structure makes it easy to hit a specific calorie or protein target once you know the numbers. See our diet-specific ordering guides for keto, low-carb, weight-loss, and muscle-gain templates.

Does Moe's really include free chips with every order?

Most entrées come with a complimentary side of chips and salsa by default — a genuine perk, but one that adds roughly 400–600 calories you may not be accounting for. See our full chips breakdown.

Does this calculator work on mobile?

Yes — the calculator is fully responsive and works the same way on phones, tablets, and desktop, with a sticky calorie total at the bottom of the screen on mobile so you can keep building without losing track of your total.
