Nutrition coach · Macro & restaurant-nutrition specialist · Fort Worth, TX

I've spent years as a nutrition coach helping everyday people hit their calorie and protein targets without giving up the food they love. The question I heard most often was also the hardest to answer: how do you track a meal out? Texas Roadhouse — with its fresh-made plates, generous portions, and endless sides — was the one nobody could pin down. After pulling scattered numbers together for my own clients one too many times, I built this site so accurate Texas Roadhouse nutrition lives in one clear, reliable place. My experience is in macro coaching and restaurant-nutrition analysis, and I personally verify every figure here against its source.

Nutrition coach Macro & calorie coaching Restaurant-nutrition analysis

Welcome to Texas Roadhouse Nutrition — your simple, reliable guide to what you're really eating at Texas Roadhouse. Their food is fresh and hand-prepared, which is exactly what makes it so good — and exactly what makes it hard to track. Official numbers are often buried in a PDF that's a pain to read while you're standing at the host stand deciding what to order. That's the gap we fill: clear, honest nutrition facts, explained in plain English, so you can enjoy the steak and stay on top of your goals.

How this started

Hi, I'm Cody. I coach everyday people on eating for their goals without giving up the restaurants they love — and around here, that restaurant is almost always Texas Roadhouse. The warm rolls, the cinnamon-honey butter, a properly seasoned sirloin... I'm not giving those up, and I don't think you should have to either. The trick was never willpower. It was information.

Tracking a Texas Roadhouse meal was the part that drove me crazy. The food is made fresh, the menu is full of combos and sides, and the calories add up faster than most people expect once you factor in the bread, the butter, and a loaded potato. Every time I wanted to log a meal I was digging through PDFs, doing mental math, and second-guessing myself at the table. So I built my own clean reference — first as a spreadsheet for my coaching clients, then for the people who started finding me on Instagram.

The response was the same one I'd had: finally, a straight answer. So in 2026 I turned that spreadsheet into this website. I'll be honest with you — we're brand new and still growing. There's no big company behind this, no investors, no ads chasing you around the internet. It's just me: keeping the database current, explaining the numbers simply, and reading every single message that lands in the inbox. If this site helps you walk in knowing exactly what to order, then it's doing its job.

What you'll find here

Accurate, full-menu nutrition

Calories, protein, carbs, fat, and sodium for items across the whole menu — not just a handful of headline dishes.

Numbers in plain English

We don't just dump a table on you. Everything is explained simply, so it makes sense whether you're a seasoned macro tracker or brand new to all of this.

Smart swaps & hidden calories

We point out where the sneaky calories hide — sides, sauces, and extras — and show lighter alternatives that still feel like a real night out.

Plan before you go

Decide your order from the couch instead of under pressure at the table. Walk in already knowing what fits your day and your goals.

What's inside the nutrition database

Our Texas Roadhouse nutrition database is built to cover the menu the way you actually order from it — including the parts people forget to count:

  • Mains — steaks, ribs, chicken, seafood, and combo plates.
  • Starters & sides — appetizers, salads, baked potatoes, fries, veggies, and the famous rolls.
  • Desserts & drinks — the big shareable desserts plus sodas, teas, and other beverages.
  • Kids & special items — smaller plates and menu extras.

Each item is broken down into the numbers that matter most — calories, protein, carbs, fat, and sodium — so you always know exactly what's going on your plate.

Four things worth knowing before your next visit

A little real-world context from coaching people through steakhouse menus — so the numbers actually help you instead of stressing you out:

  • The rolls are the silent calorie sink. Warm, free, and the cinnamon-honey butter makes them disappear. Most "where did those calories come from" moments happen before the steak even arrives. Decide your roll budget up front instead of grazing on autopilot.
  • Your steak cut is the biggest lever. A leaner cut like sirloin sits very differently from a marbled ribeye, and portion size drives the rest. A lean cut at a sensible size is one of the easiest high-protein meals on the menu.
  • The side can out-calorie the entrée. A loaded baked potato or buttered fries can rival the steak itself. Steamed veggies, a plain or lightly-topped potato, or a side salad keep the meal in check without killing the fun.
  • Watch the extras. Dressings, butter, gravy, and sauces are easy to pour on without thinking — and they add up fast. Asking for them on the side gives you control without giving up flavor.

Who this site is for

This is built for anyone who loves Texas Roadhouse but still wants to know what they're eating. Specifically:

  • Beginners who are new to nutrition and just want clear, no-jargon answers.
  • Fitness-focused eaters tracking calories and protein for muscle gain, fat loss, or maintenance.
  • Keto and low-carb folks who need to know carbs before they order.
  • People watching sodium or calories for health reasons who want accurate, dependable numbers.
  • Anyone curious who simply wants to make a smarter choice on their next visit.

How we keep the numbers honest

People make real food decisions based on what they read here, so accuracy isn't a nice-to-have — it's the whole job. Every figure on this site is sourced, cross-checked, and reviewed before it goes live, and we lean on two things to get it right.

Texas Roadhouse official nutrition information

Our starting point for menu items, seasonal changes, and recipe updates — pulled from the official Texas Roadhouse nutrition information. The database is reviewed regularly and again whenever the menu changes.

USDA FoodData Central

For ingredient-level sanity checks, we cross-reference against USDA FoodData Central to confirm baseline macro and micronutrient profiles line up.

If a number ever looks off, tell me — reader corrections genuinely make this site better, and I'll always own up and fix it.

What we stand for

Accuracy over guesswork

If I'm not confident in a number, I'd rather flag it than publish it. Data goes live only after it's checked against a primary source.

Simple, never confusing

No jargon, no complicated terms — clear info that a complete beginner can use as easily as a seasoned tracker.

Free, and staying that way

No paywall, ever. Clear nutrition info shouldn't depend on your budget.

Useful over noisy

I don't chase clickbait. Every guide exists because a real person asked a real question, answered with real data.

A quick but important note
