DIG meals are built differently from a typical fixed fast-casual menu. A plate may combine rice or greens with chicken, salmon, steak, tofu, roasted vegetables, mac and cheese, grain salads, and a sauce, while seasonal ingredients rotate throughout the year.
Use the DIG Nutrition Calculator above to compare complete plates or combine individual proteins, bases, market sides, and sauces into the meal you actually order.
Think of a DIG Meal as Four Parts
A useful way to calculate a custom DIG order is:
Base + protein + market sides + sauce
For example, you might start with brown rice, add charred chicken, choose roasted sweet potatoes and broccoli, then finish with garlic aioli.
Another plate could use greens, salmon, tomatoes and cucumbers, and pesto.
Even when the protein stays the same, changing the base, sides, or sauce can noticeably alter calories, carbs, fat, fiber, and sodium.
Chef-Curated Plates Can Be Calculated as Complete Recipes
DIG also offers ready-built meals where the components have already been combined.
Current examples include Classic DIG, Hot Honey Chicken Bowl, Spicy Salmon Bowl, Cheesy Cauliflower Chicken Plate, Vegan DIG Classic, and seasonal chef selections.
If you order one of these meals without making major changes, the complete recipe nutrition is more useful than manually adding every ingredient.
The current official menu lists approximately:
Classic DIG: 800 calories, 38g protein
Hot Honey Chicken Bowl: 850 calories, 48g protein
Spicy Salmon Bowl: 860 calories, 33g protein
Cheesy Cauliflower Chicken Plate: 660 calories, 38g protein
If you customize the recipe, ingredient-level calculation becomes more useful.
Protein Choices Have Very Different Profiles
DIG offers several proteins, and each contributes a different mix of calories, protein, and fat.
Current menu choices include items such as herb roasted chicken, charred chicken, crispy chicken, seared wild salmon, crispy tofu, and char-grilled steak.
For example, DIG currently lists:
Char-grilled Steak: 240 calories and 34g protein
Herb Roasted Chicken: 260 calories and 36g protein
Charred Chicken: 270 calories and 33g protein
Seared Wild Salmon: 270 calories and 23g protein
Crispy Tofu: 280 calories and 19g protein
This makes it useful to compare protein relative to calories rather than assuming every protein portion contributes about the same amount.
The Side Can Be as Important as the Protein
DIG’s market sides range from simple vegetables to rice, potatoes, grain salads, and mac and cheese.
That produces large differences between combinations.
Current official a la carte values include approximately:
Tomatoes & Cucumbers: 37 calories
Sheet Tray Carrots: 120 calories
Charred Broccoli with Lemon: 150 calories
Brown Rice: 315 calories
Herb Rice: 360 calories
Roasted Sweet Potatoes: 390 calories
Jasper Hill Mac & Cheese: 585 calories
A plate with two vegetable sides will therefore look very different from one using rice and mac and cheese, even when both contain the same chicken.
Portion Context Matters for Market Sides
DIG sells ingredients in more than one context.
A side used inside a custom plate may not always represent the same portion as an a la carte side or a larger family-style serving.
That means a nutrition calculator should distinguish between:
Plate portion
A la carte serving
Large family serving
instead of attaching one value to every appearance of the same food.
This is particularly important for rice, mac and cheese, chicken, tofu, vegetables, and other items that appear across several parts of the menu.
Sauces Can Change a Simple Plate
Sauces may look like a small part of the meal, but they still deserve their own calculation.
The current menu includes options such as:
Sriracha: 20 calories
Hot Honey: 50 calories
Pesto: 130 calories
Other sauces and dressings can contribute additional fat, carbohydrates, sugar, or sodium.
If a chef-created plate already includes its standard sauce, avoid adding it twice. If you order extra sauce, add the additional serving separately.
A Vegan Plate Is Not Automatically Lower in Calories
DIG offers several vegan ingredients and complete vegan meals, including crispy tofu and vegetable-focused sides.
But vegan does not automatically mean low calorie.
For example, a meal can combine tofu, rice, sweet potatoes, avocado, cashew-based dressing, and sauce. These foods may all fit a vegan diet while still producing a substantial calorie total.
The current Vegan DIG Classic is listed at about 940 calories and 31g protein .
Diet labels and calorie totals answer different questions, so compare the nutrition of the complete recipe rather than judging it by the vegan label alone.
Seasonal Ingredients Make Freshness Especially Important
DIG changes parts of its menu seasonally.
Its current summer menu includes newer items such as Smoky Sweet Chicken, Cowboy Caviar, Dill Pickle Potato Salad, Heirloom Blue Cornbread, and seasonal chef plates .
This means an older DIG nutrition database can remain numerically accurate for some core foods while still missing current menu choices.
Seasonal items should ideally be labeled with their availability or reviewed date so users can distinguish current products from older recipes.
Family Meals Need Separate Serving Logic
DIG also sells larger sides and family meals designed for multiple people.
These should not be treated as one-person portions.
If nutrition is available only for the full container, divide the total by the number of servings actually eaten. If the exact nutrition has not been published, the calculator should show that the value is unavailable rather than displaying zero.
This is especially important for large-format rice, chicken, vegetables, mac and cheese, and other family-style sides.

Build the DIG Plate You Actually Eat
The most useful DIG nutrition result comes from matching the calculator to the way the restaurant actually builds meals.
Choose the exact base, protein, market sides, and sauce , or select the complete chef-created plate if you order it unchanged.
NutritionSolver can then show a more meaningful estimate of the calories, protein, carbs, fat, sodium, fiber, and other available nutrients in your complete DIG meal.
