Short answer

QDOBA Grilled Steak has 360 calories in the documented 3.5-ounce serving. That row also lists 28 grams of fat, 10 grams of saturated fat, 600 milligrams of sodium, 5 grams of carbs, about 0.66 gram of fiber, 1 gram of sugar, and 20 grams of protein. These values describe the steak portion by itself, not a complete bowl, burrito, taco, quesadilla, nachos order, side, or meal deal.

The separate 1.75-ounce kids Grilled Steak row lists 180 calories, 14 grams of fat, 5 grams of saturated fat, 300 milligrams of sodium, 2 grams of carbs, and 10 grams of protein. It is useful for a documented smaller portion, but it should not replace the adult row merely because a restaurant scoop looks small.

Adult and kids steak portions are different rows

The adult serving is exactly twice the listed weight of the kids serving, and most displayed values scale accordingly. The calories move from 180 to 360, protein from 10 to 20 grams, fat from 14 to 28 grams, and sodium from 300 to 600 milligrams. Carbs are shown as 2 grams for the smaller row and 5 grams for the adult row because restaurant nutrition fields are rounded.

Choose the portion row that belongs to the menu format you are estimating. A standard custom entree generally starts with the 3.5-ounce ingredient row in this site’s calculator. A kids meal or a clearly documented half portion can use the 1.75-ounce row. If the actual amount is unknown, record the assumption instead of treating the visual size of one scoop as a measured weight.

  • 3.5 ounces: 360 calories, 28 grams of fat, 600 milligrams of sodium, and 20 grams of protein.
  • 1.75 ounces: 180 calories, 14 grams of fat, 300 milligrams of sodium, and 10 grams of protein.
  • An extra adult steak portion adds another full ingredient row unless a different serving weight is documented.

How steak changes a bowl or burrito total

Steak is only one part of a custom entree. Rice, beans, tortillas, queso, guacamole, cheese, sour cream, salsa, vegetables, and other extras each contribute their own nutrition. Start with the closest menu format, select one steak serving, and then add the actual components rather than attaching 360 calories to an otherwise unspecified order.

A burrito needs a tortilla row in addition to the filling. The site’s documented 12.5-inch flour tortilla is 300 calories before steak or any other filling is counted. A bowl omits that tortilla, but it is not automatically low in calories because larger rice, bean, queso, cheese, sour cream, or double-protein choices can close or reverse the difference. The bowl versus burrito guide explains how to keep that comparison consistent.

Double steak should be entered as two stated portions when the order truly contains two standard servings. That would make the steak contribution 720 calories before the rest of the meal. Restaurant scoops can vary, so this is a transparent planning calculation rather than a guarantee about the weight served in a particular order.

Steak in tacos and quesadillas

Taco totals depend on both the steak allocation and the number and type of tortillas. Do not automatically add a full 3.5-ounce steak row to every individual taco. If one adult protein portion is divided across several tacos, count that portion once, then add each tortilla and the toppings used across the set. The taco calorie guide provides a format-first way to build the estimate.

A Steak Fajita Quesadilla includes more than steak. This calculator’s documented default combines the 3.5-ounce Grilled Steak row with a 12.5-inch flour tortilla, fajita vegetables, and shredded cheese. Changing the tortilla, cheese, vegetables, sauces, or extras changes the complete result even when the steak portion stays at 360 calories.

When comparing menu formats, keep the same steak serving on both sides of the comparison. Then the difference comes from the shell, base, cheese, sauces, and toppings instead of an accidental portion mismatch. This makes the calculator useful for understanding what changed rather than only producing one final number.

Plan calories, protein, fat, and sodium together

The adult steak row supplies 20 grams of protein, but it also carries 28 grams of fat, 10 grams of saturated fat, and 600 milligrams of sodium. A useful comparison keeps all of those fields visible. Choosing steak for protein does not make the tortilla, rice, queso, chips, or drink disappear from the meal total.

Build the entree first in the QDOBA calorie calculator, review the subtotal, and then add sides and drinks separately. For sodium-focused planning, compare the finished order with the QDOBA sodium guide. For official ingredient, allergen, or current availability questions, use the current QDOBA resources linked from the nutrition page.

Published values and restaurant offerings can change after the saved source date. Portions can also vary during preparation. Use the documented row as a repeatable baseline, keep any extra or smaller portion assumptions visible, and verify important dietary or medical decisions with official information and a qualified professional.
