Healthy Low Calorie Menu Options at IHOP
IHOP is pretty much known for its heavy and high-calorie breakfast options, so eating there on a low calorie diet might seem totally out of the question.
Surprisingly though, there are actually a ton of healthy options at IHOP, you just have to know what to look for. And that's exactly why I put this guide together. I wanted it to be as easy as possible for everyone to find the best healthy orders without thinking twice.
So, below you'll find every order on the IHOP menu that rings under 500 calories. Plus, I'll even give you some tips on how to make their combos work for your calorie needs. Also, just so you know, I used IHOPS online nutritional calculator to calculate all of the calorie totals for the list.
So grab your low calorie pancake syrup, and let's get into the list!
1. Fresh Berry Salad with Grilled Chicken
Nutritional Info for a serving w/o dressing:
- 310 Calories
- 19g Fat
- 22g Carbs
- 21g Protein
The lowest calorie option at IHOP doesn't come from their breakfast offerings but from their underrated salad menu.
This fresh berry salad features crisp lettuce tossed with strawberries, avocado, and red onion, plus some seasoned grilled chicken breast for protein.
You can add their balsamic vinaigrette, ranch, or honey mustard for dressing, which will add 160-170 calories per serving. Or, you can get it to-go and use one of these low-calorie salad dressings instead.
2. 2 x 2 x 2 with Egg Whites and Turkey Bacon
Nutritional Info for a serving:
- 440 Calories
- 21g Fat

Coming in second on this list is the 2 x 2 x 2 combo - with some tweaks.
The original combo comes with two eggs, two buttermilk pancakes with whipped butter, and a choice of either bacon strips or pork sausage links. All you have to do to make this a healthy IHOP option is to choose scrambled egg whites and turkey bacon for your proteins instead of the default options. Then, you'll get to enjoy those buttery pancakes and the rest of the combo all for under 450 calories.
3. Short Stack Original Buttermilk Pancakes
Nutritional Info for a serving w/o syrup:

Speaking of IHOP pancakes, you'll be glad to know you can dig into a 3 stack of their iconic buttermilk pancakes with whipped butter for just 450 calories. Just make sure to go light on the syrup - it can add up to 100 calories per serving. Or, better yet, top it off your stack with some sweet banana slices or strawberries and you'll still keep your meal under 500 calories.
4. Quick 2-Egg Breakfast Combo
Nutritional Info for a serving with sides:

The whole meal comes to just 450 calories, and you can make it even healthier with a fresh fruit add-on, rounding the meal out to around 500 calories.
5. Classic Benedict
Nutritional Info for a serving:

Start your day like a king with a hearty plate of classic eggs benedict, featuring two poached eggs and black forest ham slices over a toasty English muffin drenched with creamy hollandaise sauce.
It's a delicious alternative to the usual breakfast sandwich and comes to only 450 calories when it's ordered without any sides. For a boost of fiber and nutrients, add a side of fresh fruit for just 60 calories extra.
6. Roasted Turkey Breast
Nutritional Info for a serving with sides:
- 470 Calories
- 26g Fat

While IHOP might not be the first place you think of for dinner, they've got some tasty and healthy dinner entrees well worth checking out, like their roasted turkey breast, which comes with turkey gravy and two sides.
For the lowest calorie order on this meal, you'll want to pair it with broccoli and yellow & green beans. You can also opt for the side salad plus broccoli for 510 calories or treat yourself to one side of red-skinned mashed potatoes for 520 calories total.
7. T-Bone Steak Meal
Nutritional Info for a serving with sides:
- 480 Calories
- 25g Fat

- 54g Protein
For just 480 calories, you can get a high-protein complete steak dinner with a grilled 10 oz. T-bone steak plus sides of steamed broccoli and yellow & green beans with garlic butter.
If you're a classic steak and potatoes fan, you can also opt for just one side of red-skinned mashed potatoes instead, which will bump the meal up to 530 calories.
8. Atlantic Salmon
Nutritional Info for a serving with sides:
- 480 Calories
- 28g Fat
- 13g Carbs
- 46g Protein
The Atlantic salmon is another great healthy low calorie IHOP entree option you can choose. It's not only a great way to get in some protein, but also some healthy fats too.
The grilled 6 oz. salmon is 250 calories on its own, and you can pair it with any combination of steamed broccoli, house salad, or yellow & green beans as your two sides for a total of 480 calories or less.
9. Build Your Own Omelette
Nutritional Info for a custom omelette (example):
- 480 Calories
- 34g Fat
- 7g Carbs
- 37g Protein
The customizable omelette option offers plenty of room to build a filling and healthy breakfast that fits right into your calorie needs.
I recommend starting with the egg white omelette at just 90 calories since the regular omelette with whole eggs automatically adds 400 calories. Then, pile on your choice of proteins, veggies, and even cheese.
Just keep in mind, the nutritional info listed here is for an omelette with egg whites, four cheese blend, diced bacon, sauteed spinach, and fresh tomatoes. Of course, you can build yours however you like!
10. Pesto Veggie Egg White Omelette
Nutritional Info for a serving with fruit side:

If you prefer one of IHOP's prepared omelette choices, the best low calorie pick is their Pesto Veggie Egg White Omelette. It's a healthy choice for a savory breakfast, packed with flavor, nutrient-dense veggies, and a decent amount of protein.
This vegetarian favorite is stuffed with sauteed mushrooms, roasted cherry tomatoes, avocado, and nut-free pesto. It also comes with seasonal mixed fruit on the side for 480 calories total.
