Tim Hortons High-Protein Menu Ranked by Protein per Calorie
Tim Hortons has plenty of menu items with protein.
But “has protein” and “good protein-per-calorie value” are not the same thing.
A 760-calorie flatbread pizza with 48g of protein is high-protein. But it is not as protein-efficient as a 130-calorie order of Spinach & Egg White Omelette Bites with 13g of protein. A large Protein Latte has less total protein than some lunch items, but it gives you a lot of protein for the calories. A breakfast sandwich may sound filling, but some versions carry a lot of calories for only moderate protein.
That is why this ranking uses protein per calorie, not just total protein.
The formula is simple:
Protein-per-calorie score = grams of protein per 100 calories
So if an item has 20g of protein and 200 calories, the score is 10g of protein per 100 calories.
This guide uses the official Tim Hortons Canada Nutrition Information document, which says its nutrition data applies to products served in Canadian restaurants and reflects products as of August 2025. Tim Hortons also notes that nutrition can vary because of suppliers, ingredient substitutions, recipe changes, restaurant assembly, seasonality, and limited-time or regional products.
This is not medical advice or a personalized diet plan. Protein needs vary by body size, age, activity, health status, and goals. As a general baseline healthy adults 19 and older need about 0.8g of protein per kilogram of body weight per day, though some people need more.
Quick answer: the best Tim Hortons high-protein choices
The best protein-per-calorie choices at Tim Hortons Canada are:
Protein Latte
Spinach & Egg White Omelette Bites
Original Protein Iced Latte
Bacon & Cheese Omelette Bites
Chicken Bacon Ranch Wrap
Habanero Chicken Loaded Bowl
Classic Chicken Wrap
Chili
Cilantro Lime Chicken Loaded Bowl
Turkey Melt or Ham Melt
The cleanest “protein efficiency” winner is the Protein Latte, especially if you count drinks.
The best food-only winner is the Spinach & Egg White Omelette Bites.
The best lunch-style order is probably the Chicken Bacon Ranch Wrap or Classic Chicken Wrap if you want fewer calories, or a Habanero Chicken Loaded Bowl if you want a bigger meal.
Overall ranking: Tim Hortons menu items by protein per calorie
This ranking includes Tim Hortons Canada items with meaningful protein, generally around 10g or more. Smaller items with less than 10g protein can still be useful, but they are not the main focus.
The numbers below are ranked by grams of protein per 100 calories.
1. Protein Latte, Small
Calories: 110
Protein: 13g
Protein efficiency: 11.8g per 100 calories
This is the most protein-efficient item in the ranking. It is not a full meal, but if you want a coffee-style order with serious protein for the calories, the small Protein Latte is the clear winner.
These protein coffees are a relatively new thing when it comes to chains. It’s nice to see innovation in such a tired space.
2. Protein Latte, Medium
Calories: 170
Protein: 20g
Protein efficiency: 11.8g per 100 calories
The medium Protein Latte is almost as efficient as the small version and gives you 20g of protein, which is more than many breakfast sandwiches.
3. Protein Latte, Large
Calories: 230
Protein: 27g
Protein efficiency: 11.7g per 100 calories
The large Protein Latte gives the biggest protein hit among the hot Protein Latte sizes: 27g for 230 calories. That is excellent protein density for a coffee order.
Tim Hortons lists the Protein Latte at 110 calories and 13g protein for small, 170 calories and 20g protein for medium, and 230 calories and 27g protein for large.
4. Spinach & Egg White Omelette Bites
Calories: 130
Protein: 13g
Protein efficiency: 10.0g per 100 calories
This is the best food-only item by protein efficiency.
It is small, but it is extremely efficient: 13g of protein for only 130 calories. If you want something light, high-protein, and easy to add to a coffee order, this is one of the strongest Tim Hortons choices.
Tim Hortons lists Spinach & Egg White Omelette Bites at 130 calories and 13g protein per serving.
5. Original Protein Iced Latte, Small
Calories: 160
Protein: 12g
Protein efficiency: 7.5g per 100 calories
If you prefer iced drinks, the small Original Protein Iced Latte is the best iced protein drink by protein efficiency.
It is not as efficient as the hot Protein Latte, but it still beats most food items on the menu by protein per calorie.
6. Original Protein Iced Latte, Large
Calories: 310
Protein: 23g
Protein efficiency: 7.4g per 100 calories
The large Original Protein Iced Latte gives more total protein than the small or medium version, but it also comes with more calories.
7. Original Protein Iced Latte, Medium
Calories: 230
Protein: 17g
Protein efficiency: 7.4g per 100 calories
The medium version lands close to the large version on protein efficiency, with 17g of protein for 230 calories.
Tim Hortons lists the Original Protein Iced Latte at 160 calories and 12g protein for small, 230 calories and 17g protein for medium, and 310 calories and 23g protein for large.
8. Latte, Medium
Calories: 140
Protein: 10g
Protein efficiency: 7.1g per 100 calories
A regular medium Latte is surprisingly protein-efficient because milk contributes protein without adding too many calories.
It is not a “protein” menu item, but the numbers are strong.
9. Unsweetened Iced Latte, Large
Calories: 140
Protein: 10g
Protein efficiency: 7.1g per 100 calories
The large Unsweetened Iced Latte has the same protein efficiency as the medium hot Latte: 10g protein for 140 calories.
This is a good pick if you want some protein but do not want a sweet iced drink.
10. Bacon & Cheese Omelette Bites
Calories: 210
Protein: 15g
Protein efficiency: 7.1g per 100 calories
These are higher-calorie than the Spinach & Egg White Omelette Bites, but they still rank well.
The Bacon & Cheese Omelette Bites are a solid breakfast choice if you want more protein and a richer option than the egg white version.
Tim Hortons lists the Bacon & Cheese Omelette Bites at 210 calories and 15g protein.
11. Latte, Large
Calories: 190
Protein: 13g
Protein efficiency: 6.8g per 100 calories
The large Latte gives 13g of protein for 190 calories. It is not as efficient as the Protein Latte, but it is still respectable.
12. Cappuccino, Large
Calories: 170
Protein: 11g
Protein efficiency: 6.5g per 100 calories
A large Cappuccino is another surprisingly decent protein-per-calorie drink.
Tim Hortons lists large Cappuccino at 170 calories and 11g protein, and large Latte at 190 calories and 13g protein.
13. Chicken Bacon Ranch Wrap
Calories: 420
Protein: 27g
Protein efficiency: 6.4g per 100 calories
This is one of the best lunch choices if you want a real meal with strong protein density.
At 420 calories and 27g of protein, it beats many higher-calorie sandwiches and breakfast items.
14. Habanero Chicken Loaded Bowl
Calories: 530
Protein: 34g
Protein efficiency: 6.4g per 100 calories
This is one of the best bigger meals on the Tim Hortons menu for protein efficiency.
It has more calories than the Chicken Bacon Ranch Wrap, but it also gives 34g of protein.
15. Classic Chicken Wrap
Calories: 380
Protein: 24g
Protein efficiency: 6.3g per 100 calories
The Classic Chicken Wrap is one of the best choices if you want a lunch item under 400 calories with strong protein.
It has less total protein than the Chicken Bacon Ranch Wrap, but fewer calories too.
Tim Hortons lists the Chicken Bacon Ranch Wrap at 420 calories and 27g protein, the Classic Chicken Wrap at 380 calories and 24g protein, and the Habanero Chicken Loaded Bowl at 530 calories and 34g protein.
16. Chicken Parmesan Flatbread Pizza
Calories: 760
Protein: 48g
Protein efficiency: 6.3g per 100 calories
This is one of the highest-protein items in the guide.
It is not low-calorie, but the protein-per-calorie ratio is still strong. If you are prioritizing total protein and eating a larger meal, this is one of the biggest protein hits at Tim Hortons.
17. Chili, Large
Calories: 430
Protein: 27g
Protein efficiency: 6.3g per 100 calories
The large Chili is one of the best comfort-food options for protein density.
It gives the same total protein as the Chicken Bacon Ranch Wrap, but with slightly more calories.
18. Cilantro Lime Chicken Loaded Bowl
Calories: 550
Protein: 34g
Protein efficiency: 6.2g per 100 calories
This is similar to the Habanero Chicken Loaded Bowl, just slightly less protein-efficient.
Still, 34g protein for 550 calories is a strong lunch or dinner option.
19. Chili, Regular
Calories: 310
Protein: 19g
Protein efficiency: 6.1g per 100 calories
The regular Chili is a good smaller meal or side-style protein option.
It is not as high in total protein as the large Chili, but the protein efficiency is still strong.
20. Turkey Melt or Ham Melt
Calories: 550
Protein: 33g
Protein efficiency: 6.0g per 100 calories
The Turkey Melt and Ham Melt tie here.
Both have 33g of protein for 550 calories. They are not as efficient as the best wraps or bowls, but they are solid high-protein sandwich-style meals.
Tim Hortons lists Chicken Parmesan Flatbread Pizza at 760 calories and 48g protein, large Chili at 430 calories and 27g protein, regular Chili at 310 calories and 19g protein, Cilantro Lime Chicken Loaded Bowl at 550 calories and 34g protein, and both the Turkey Melt and Ham Melt at 550 calories and 33g protein.
Food-only ranking: the best Tim Hortons meals by protein efficiency
If you do not want to count lattes and other drinks, here is the food-only version.

The big lesson: drinks dominate the protein-per-calorie ranking
The Protein Latte wins because it is basically a coffee drink built around protein-rich dairy.
The small, medium, and large Protein Lattes all score around 11.7 to 11.8g protein per 100 calories. That is far higher than the food items.
The Original Protein Iced Latte also ranks well, but it is less efficient than the hot Protein Latte. The small Original Protein Iced Latte has 12g protein for 160 calories, while the large has 23g protein for 310 calories.
The catch:
A drink may not keep you as full as a meal.
So the “best” option depends on what you need.
For pure protein efficiency, choose the Protein Latte.
For a small food item, choose Spinach & Egg White Omelette Bites.
For a real lunch, choose a Chicken Bacon Ranch Wrap, Classic Chicken Wrap, Habanero Chicken Loaded Bowl, or Chili.
The best breakfast picks
Tim Hortons breakfast is tricky because many items have decent protein but also a lot of calories from biscuits, bagels, sausage, bacon, cheese, and wraps.
Best breakfast overall
Spinach & Egg White Omelette Bites
130 calories
13g protein
10.0g protein per 100 calories
This is the clear breakfast winner.
Best higher-protein breakfast if you want more food
Bacon & Cheese Omelette Bites

7.1g protein per 100 calories
Still very efficient, but less lean than the egg white version.
Best classic breakfast sandwich
Egg & Cheese English Muffin
270 calories
14g protein
5.2g protein per 100 calories
Not as efficient as the omelette bites, but better than many biscuit or bagel breakfast sandwiches.
Best higher-protein breakfast sandwich
Steak & Egg Homestyle Biscuit
510 calories
25g protein
4.9g protein per 100 calories
This gives more total protein, but the calories are much higher.
Best breakfast wrap
Bacon Breakfast Wrap
400 calories
18g protein
4.5g protein per 100 calories
This is the most efficient standard breakfast wrap in the guide, but it is not close to the omelette bites.
Tim Hortons lists its breakfast sandwiches, wraps, loaded breakfast items, and omelette bites in the breakfast section of the official nutrition guide.
The best lunch picks
Lunch is where Tim Hortons gets much better for high-protein meals.
Best lower-calorie lunch

5.8g protein per 100 calories
It is higher-calorie than the wraps, but it has the most protein among the sandwich options listed in the official guide.
Best melt
Turkey Melt or Ham Melt
550 calories
33g protein
6.0g protein per 100 calories
Both are solid, but not quite as efficient as the best wraps and bowls.
Best flatbread pizza
Chicken Parmesan Flatbread Pizza
760 calories
48g protein
6.3g protein per 100 calories
This is the best high-total-protein flatbread, but it is also a large calorie commitment.
Tim Hortons lists its lunch sandwiches, wraps, bowls, flatbread pizzas, melts, soups, chili, sides, and limited-time lunch items in the official guide.

330 calories
17g protein
Bacon Breakfast Wrap
400 calories
18g protein
The Chicken Bacon Ranch Wrap and large Chili are the strongest under-500-calorie options by protein.
The highest-protein Tim Hortons items by total protein
Protein per calorie is useful, but sometimes you just want the biggest protein number.
These are some of the highest-total-protein items in the official guide.
Chicken Parmesan Flatbread Pizza
760 calories
48g protein
Hat Trick Flatbread Pizza
930 calories
46g protein
Bacon Everything Flatbread Pizza
780 calories
40g protein
Supreme Stack Sandwich
620 calories
36g protein
Pepperoni Flatbread Pizza
750 calories
36g protein
Habanero Chicken Loaded Bowl
530 calories
34g protein
Cilantro Lime Chicken Loaded Bowl
550 calories
34g protein
BBQ Loaded Chicken Loaded Bowl
580 calories
34g protein
Turkey Melt or Ham Melt
550 calories
33g protein
Bacon Grilled Cheese Melt
600 calories
33g protein
The key point:
The highest-protein items are not always the most calorie-efficient.
Flatbread pizzas can deliver a lot of protein, but they also come with significantly more calories. Bowls, wraps, chili, and omelette bites usually give a better balance.
Items that sound protein-friendly but are less efficient
These are not “bad” orders. They just are not the strongest if your goal is protein per calorie.
Many bagel breakfast sandwiches
Bagel sandwiches can have 22g to 26g of protein, but they often land around 480 to 630 calories. That lowers the protein-per-calorie score.
For example:
Bacon Everything Bagel Sandwich: 480 calories, 23g protein
Sausage 12-Grain Bagel Sandwich: 630 calories, 26g protein
Bacon 12-Grain Bagel Sandwich: 510 calories, 24g protein
They are filling, but not as efficient as omelette bites, protein lattes, chicken wraps, bowls, or chili.
Most muffins, cookies, donuts, and Timbits
Baked goods are not protein-efficient.
Some muffins have 5g or 6g of protein, and some donuts have 3g to 5g, but the calories are usually much higher than the protein return justifies if protein is your goal.
For example, the Chocolate Chip Muffin is listed at 420 calories and 6g protein, while many donuts sit around 200 to 360 calories with only a few grams of protein.
These can fit your day if you want them.
They just should not be confused with high-protein choices.
Veggie loaded wraps and bowls
The veggie loaded items may work for someone avoiding meat, but they are not the highest-protein options.
For example:
Cilantro Lime Veggie Loaded Wrap: 570 calories, 13g protein
Habanero Veggie Loaded Wrap: 540 calories, 13g protein
Cilantro Lime Veggie Loaded Bowl: 570 calories, 12g protein
Habanero Veggie Loaded Bowl: 550 calories, 12g protein
Those numbers are much lower in protein efficiency than the chicken bowls and wraps.
Sweet drinks
Iced Capps, Creamy Chills, lemonades, and quenchers are generally not protein plays.
Some have a few grams of protein, but many are mostly calories from sugar and/or fat. If protein is the goal, the Protein Latte, Original Protein Iced Latte, regular latte, or unsweetened iced latte are much better choices.

Approximate total:
430 calories
27g protein
Why it works:
It is one of the best non-wrap, non-sandwich protein options.
What to watch besides protein
Protein per calorie is useful, but it is not the whole nutrition picture.
Some of the highest-protein Tim Hortons items are also higher in:
Sodium
Saturated fat
Total calories
Refined carbs
Added sugar
Portion size
For example, many lunch items have more than 900mg of sodium, and some sandwiches, bowls, flatbreads, and melts go much higher. The Supreme Stack Sandwich is listed at 1,670mg sodium, the Habanero Chicken Loaded Bowl at 1,250mg sodium, and the large Chili at 1,270mg sodium.
That does not mean you cannot order them.
It just means “high-protein” does not automatically mean “healthy for everyone.”
A good order depends on your whole day, your goals, and your health context.
How to order better at Tim Hortons if protein is the goal
Choose protein drinks over sweet drinks
The Protein Latte and Original Protein Iced Latte are much better protein choices than Iced Capps, Creamy Chills, lemonades, or quenchers.
Choose omelette bites over baked goods
If you want breakfast protein, omelette bites beat muffins, donuts, Timbits, and most pastries.
Choose chicken wraps or chicken bowls for lunch
The Chicken Bacon Ranch Wrap, Classic Chicken Wrap, Habanero Chicken Loaded Bowl, and Cilantro Lime Chicken Loaded Bowl are among the strongest meal options.
Choose chili if you want something warm
Regular Chili and large Chili both score well for protein per calorie.
Be careful with “high-protein but huge” items
Flatbread pizzas can deliver a lot of protein, but they also bring a lot of calories.
Do not ignore sodium
Many high-protein fast-food items are also high-sodium. Protein is only one metric.
What this does not mean
This article does not mean:
Everyone should order a Protein Latte.
Drinks are always better than food.
Calories are the only thing that matters.
Protein is the only thing that matters.
Tim Hortons is automatically “healthy.”
Baked goods are bad.
Flatbread pizzas are bad.
Veggie items are bad.
High-protein items are always better.
These numbers will be exact at every location.
This is personalized medical or nutrition advice.
It means this:
If you are trying to get the most protein for the fewest calories at Tim Hortons Canada, the Protein Latte, Spinach & Egg White Omelette Bites, Original Protein Iced Latte, chicken wraps, chicken bowls, and chili are the strongest places to start.
