Sodium: the top 14 have a median of 2,155 mg (94% DV), the other 28 have 1,760 mg (77% DV). The FDA Daily Value for sodium is 2,300 mg for the whole day.
Saturated fat: 13.5 g median in the top 14 against 10 g in the rest (Daily Value 20 g).
Calories: 705 median in the top 14 against 650 in the rest. Here the best protein for the calories does not mean the smallest meal, so check the calories column.

How we ranked

We took every item in the Arby's nutrition guide dated 2026-10-05 and kept the numbers exactly as printed. Food items with at least 20 g of protein and 200 to 1,600 calories, ranked by protein per 100 calories, so a bigger portion does not win just by being bigger. Drinks, sauces, add-ons, single toppings (a slice of cheese, a grilled chicken topping) and catering sizes are left out of the main list. When an item comes in several sizes, the table shows one size and says how many there are. Items whose calories do not add up from protein, carbs and fat were dropped as likely misprints in the guide.

Custom orders change the numbers: a sauce, a dressing, a bun or a side can add more than the item itself. The guide does not list ingredients or allergens, so this page does not either. Menus change, so check the guide date above against the one at the restaurant.
