How healthy is Chipotle for you?

[wpr101]

I eat Chipotle a fair amount and was wondering how healthy you think it is? The cheese and the meat might be semi-unhealthy. But the vegatables are def healthy. Thoughts?

There was a thread about this a while ago. I think a simple google search will tell you that Chipotle is full of fat and has far too many calories for a single meal. But common sense should tell you the same thing.

Since you started eating it have you gained weight?

The tortilla is probably the worst part for you. It's like 300 calories IIRC. So cutting that out and getting the burrito bol is a decent move if you're concerned about that.

Are you eating half of it for lunch and half of it for dinner? This will be okay every once in a while. You could do a lot worse. The problem is that not too many people can treat this sort of thing as an occasional treat.

The sour cream and guacamole are pretty bad as well. Just used the nutrition calculator thing and the burrito I get is about 1700 calories but if I got it with sour cream and guacamole its almost 2000.

Edit: The chips seems to add the most, about 500 calories.

Cool calculator. I wondered.

If you get the bowl, no cheese, no sour cream, no guac, it comes to around 650 calories. When isn't too bad for a lunch.

The biggest problem I think is just physical size. 1/2 a burrito would do me most of the time, but of course I eat the whole damn thing.

Now, add the tortilla, cheese, and sour cream and you've got a 1000+ calorie overload.

Moes>Chipotle

ck,

No tortilla, no cheese, no sour cream, no guac. That sounds like some delicious Mexican food!

Anyway, I feel sorry for all you guys who think Chipotle is good stuff. Must suck not to have real burrito places to go to.
