Opens on a brown rice and Harissa Honey Chicken bowl. Values: CAVA's Nutrition and Allergen Guide (March 2026 edition), checked October 8, 2026. Standard portions only, because that is all CAVA publishes. Full list in Sources below.
How it works
CAVA publishes nutrition for every base, main, dip, topping and dressing separately, so a bowl is just the sum of what goes in. Pick each part and the calculator adds CAVA's official values for each one. A pita swaps the base for a whole pita: 320 calories and 13g protein before anything goes inside.
The base is the biggest swing. Greens run 20 to 35 calories, while Black Lentils, saffron rice and brown rice are 270 to 310. Lentils are the standout: 18g protein and 15g fiber, against 7g and 5g for brown rice. Want every ingredient table and real orders broken down? Read the full CAVA calories guide.

What CAVA publishes, and what it does not
- Published: one standard portion of each base, main, dip, topping and dressing, plus sides, desserts and drinks in kids (12 oz), small (16 oz) and large (22 oz) sizes. Drinks are calculated without ice.
- Not published: half bases, light or extra scoops, and double mains. This calculator uses standard portions only rather than guessing at those.
- Left out on purpose: kids meal portions, and the milk and apple juice listed with kids drinks, so every option is an adult serving.
