The Halal Guys is workable. The chicken platter and chicken sandwich are standout high-protein options, and the regular chicken platter lands at 648 calories with 59g of protein. That is one of the better protein ratios at any fast-casual chain.

• →Order on the app if your location supports it, or at the counter.
• →Ask for sauces on the side. The white sauce is 450 calories per full serving and the amount poured on by default can double the fat count.
• →The regular chicken platter is the most protein-dense full meal on the menu. 59g of protein at 648 calories is hard to beat at this price point.
• →For lower calorie, the chicken sandwich delivers 41g of protein without the rice.
• →Water and diet sodas are both zero-calorie and work well here.

In your first few months, the chicken sandwich with sauces on the side is the easiest call. It is simple, lower calorie than the platters, and you can control exactly how much sauce goes on. Add the rice component once your appetite returns to normal.
