Best Choices by Diet Goal
For Muscle Building (High Protein)
- Chicken Bake: 48g protein — the protein champion of the food court
- Chicken Caesar Salad: 40g protein with fewer carbs than the chicken bake
- Turkey & Provolone: 36g protein in a convenient handheld format
For Weight Loss (Low Calorie)
- Acai Bowl: 330 calories — the lightest option on the menu
- Latte/Mocha Freeze: 320 calories (but mostly sugar)
- Hot Dog (no bun): 370 calories, very low carb
For Keto / Low Carb
- Hot Dog (no bun): Only 3g carbs, 24g protein, 33g fat
- Chicken Caesar Salad (no croutons): Under 10g carbs with 40g protein
- Rotisserie Chicken (warehouse, not food court): 0g carbs, 38g protein
For Sodium-Conscious
Unfortunately, most Costco food court items are high in sodium. The acai bowl is the only truly low-sodium option at 40mg. If you're watching sodium, consider:
- Sharing a pizza slice instead of eating a whole one
- Skipping the hot dog and choosing fresh options from the warehouse
- Drinking plenty of water to help flush excess sodium
How These Compare to Fast Food
Compared to typical fast food, Costco's food court is surprisingly competitive:
- Hot dog combo ($1.50): 570 cal — comparable to a McDonald's Quarter Pounder (520 cal) but with more protein and at half the price
- Pizza slice: 700 cal — similar to a large slice of Pizza Hut pan pizza (680 cal)
- Chicken bake: 770 cal — comparable to a Chipotle burrito (1,000+ cal) with more protein
Bottom Line
The Costco food court isn't health food, but it offers solid value and surprisingly good protein content. For the health-conscious, the hot dog without the bun is a keto-friendly protein bomb, while the acai bowl offers a lighter option. The key is knowing what you're eating — and now you do.
