Best setup

Order two Tacos al Carbon with a side of pinto beans. Great protein-to-calorie ratio with fiber from the beans.

Why this is a strong fit

Steady default for a normal day

Best bet

Protein stays meaningful here, so the meal still feels like it counts without forcing a huge portion.

Watch-out

The main watch-out is still pace. Even a good fit can feel like too much if you keep going after fullness shows up.

Backup move

Backup move: if this starts to feel heavier than expected, switch your next meal to a gentler protein option with fewer extras.
