Wichita, KS – As the new year begins, many are setting their sights on healthier lifestyles, with high-protein diets leading the charge. Delano BBQ Co., a cornerstone of Wichita’s dining scene for more than 20 years, helps locals achieve their health and fitness goals with flavorful, protein-packed menu options perfect for January’s health resolutions.

​

Smoked meats with a savory rub makes sticking to the plan a bit easier. So does your option to buy it by the pound. Protein plays a crucial role in maintaining energy levels, supporting muscle recovery, and fueling an active lifestyle. According to Dr. Emily Carter, a nutrition expert at the Heartland Health Center, “High-protein diets can be especially effective in promoting weight loss and building lean muscle mass. Protein not only helps repair tissues but also keeps you feeling full longer, making it a valuable tool for managing hunger and achieving fitness goals.”

​

At Delano BBQ Co., fans can enjoy a variety of smoked meats like brisket, turkey, chicken, and pulled pork—all excellent sources of protein. For those following keto or low-carb lifestyles, these dishes pair perfectly with controlled amounts of our sauces and hearty sides like coleslaw (without the dressing, add a touch of Hawg Sauce) or a simple salad.

​

But healthy eating at Delano BBQ Co. isn’t just about modern trends—it’s steeped in history. Cowboys driving cattle along the famous Chisholm Trail relied on protein-rich meals of beef and beans to fuel their rugged days of physical labor. “The work those cowboys did was no joke,” says Lisa, longtime q-slinger of Delano BBQ Co. “They spent long hours in the saddle, herding cattle across the plains. Beef and beans were their staples, keeping them strong and energized. Today, we’re bringing that same spirit to our menu—flavorful, hearty meals that work as hard as you do.”

​

With a commitment to quality and flavor, Delano BBQ Co. is making it easier than ever to enjoy healthy, delicious meals. Customers can dine in, order takeout, or even meal prep with bulk orders of smoked meats and sides.
