Texas Roadhouse Macros: The Macro-Counting Client's Order Guide
A steakhouse sounds like a macro minefield, but Texas Roadhouse can be one of the easier sit-down spots to stay on plan. Lean steaks and grilled chicken are protein-dense and low-carb. The biggest calorie traps are the rolls, loaded sides, and butter.
Coaches: a steakhouse is where clients usually fall off. With MacroFuel, clients can ask Max what to order based on the macros they have left for the day — rolls included or skipped.
Macros are approximate, based on published and third-party nutrition data for standard menu items. Portions and preparation can vary by location. Always check current restaurant nutrition info if needed.
