Cava Nutrition Calculator
Pick what you ordered and how many. This calorie calculator totals the calories, protein, carbs and fat from Cava's own US nutrition guide.
Log this 1240 calorie order in NutriScan. Take a photo of your order and the app adds the calories, protein, carbs and fat to your day.
How to use it
Choose a menu section, choose an item, and press Add to order. The item drops into the order list, where the plus and minus buttons set the quantity. Take an item to zero and it leaves the order.
The calculator opens with a sample order of a Chicken + Rice Bowl, Pita Chips and a small Classic Lemonade, which comes to 1,240 calories with 50g of protein, 154g of carbs and 50g of fat. Remove those three lines and build your own.
Cava lists its ten curated bowls and three curated pitas as finished items. Everything else in the guide is a single serving of one ingredient: a base, a main, a topping, a dip, a dressing, a side or a kids meal item. To count a bowl you build yourself, add one line for the base, one for the main and one for each topping, dip and dressing. Kids meal items are listed the same way, one at a time.

These are US menu values. Cava says it relies on supplier information and that ingredient substitutions can occur. The guide counts self-serve juice and fountain drinks without ice. The Pita Crisps row is left out because its fat figure does not fit its calories. Menus outside the US differ, so use the local Cava page if you order elsewhere.

Where do the numbers in this Cava calorie calculator come from?
Every value is read from the Cava Nutrition and Allergen Guide PDF linked from cava.com/nutrition, read on October 14, 2026. The guide prints no edition date and the file was created on June 15, 2026. Cava says it relies on supplier information and that ingredient substitutions can happen. The guide counts self-serve juice and fountain drinks without ice. This calculator leaves out the Pita Crisps row because its fat figure does not match its calories, and it does not use Cava's separate grocery items guide.
