I know a typical Chipotle burrito is high in calories but if one were to be selective about what goes into the burrito or even opted to go with a burrito bowl would it be ok?

Here is what I propose:

Fajita burrito bowl with chicken
Black beans
Whichever salsa
a touch of guacamole
lettuce

I have no idea what the nutritional values would be as I cannot find any info on their website but is it at least sensible?
If I should just avoid at all costs then I will but I'd like not to. :D

Lets discuss.

Thanks,

IT can be okay if you are careful with it. Go search chipotle nutrition info on google and you can find a site that you can get calories from depending on what you put in it! My typical burrito is around 1300 calories...

If I'm eating Q'doba or Chipotle, I make sure it is after a workout or something, so I can put all those calories to use.

There's actually a site dedicated to figuring this out: ChipotleFan.com (http://www.chipotlefan.com/index.php?id=nutrition_calculator)

The link goes to their nutrition calculator. :tu:

I love Chipotlé burritos and will sneak one in occasionally as a cheat meal. Making a burrito bowl with salsa, meat, beans, and veggies can be every bit as healthy as one of my on-program meals but the cost is excessive when I could make an equivalent from fresh ingredients store-bought. Still, it's good to have around in a pinch.

Looks like the thing to do is eat half. There is also a petition asking them to offer smaller burritos.

Wow they have lots of sodium!

Thanks for the link/info guys.

yea, each burrito has like enough sodium for two days. and they can be up to 1300 calories or so.

the tortilla itself is 300 calories.

Another link to their nutritional info. I think they're opening one about a mile from my house. I've never been there, but I'll probably give it a try when they open.

If I'm in a pinch it's my fast food place of choice. I usually get their salads though.
