Nutrition Facts & Calorie Information

574 E Main St, Ventura, CA 93001

48items analyzed
"Overall this menu is balanced — it offers many lean, high‑protein choices (shrimp, chicken, fish, soups) plus several calorie‑dense fried and meat dishes for higher‑energy needs. For cutting, go with Marinated Jumbo Shrimp (≈150 kcal, 24 g protein) or Grilled White Fish and ask for a salad/steamed vegetables and skip chips and rich sauces. For bulking, choose the Big Meat Platter (≈1200 kcal) or Stuffed Lamb (≈700 kcal) and add rice/naan or a legume side to boost calories."
