Unnecessary put-down and a vindictive response by OP.
The implication that you and you alone have surpassed everyone else intellectually/spiritually, the implication that you have evolved beyond the "scope of average humans", serves only to separate you and lead you down the lonely path of self-righteous judgement which is betraying the very principles of Buddhism.

My breakfast (fruit) has 0 sodium. My lunch is often in the 500-1000 mg range, leaving me 1,300-1800 mg-ish for dinner.
The highest sodium menu items are as follows, with mg sodium in parenthesis: Tortilla (690), Sofritas (555), Barbacoa (530) Carnitas (500) Tomato Salsa (500) Red Tomatillo Salsa (500).
Higher Sodium_______________Lower Sodium
White Rice (375)______________Brown Rice (165)
Pinto Beans (300)_____________Black Beans (260)
Tomato Salsa (500)___________Green Tomatillo Salsa (250)
Those swaps save you 500 mg of sodium.
That was changed years ago. The pinto beans are vegan/vegetarian and free of meat.
Couple of comments:
1. I have been reading nutrion/diet websites with a zealous for past several months, in addition to other health related sites. I remember reading (either at US RDA data site or in one of the nutrition experts comments) that after age 40 or 50, the recommended sodium consumption goes down by nearly half. In other words, it is only 1000 or so !!!
2. If sodium data on chipotle was changed years ago, and if you are knowledgeable, could you put up a comparison / choices to be made, for selecting lower sodium, while at chipotle ? I still go there on rare occasion, after cutting out restaurant food completely. My efforts have dramatically reduced my weight and increased my health multiple fold within 1 year period. So, now i know that i will go to this restaurant (as the only restaurant), in a pinch. This seems to be the lesser of all evils that are called restaurants.
Poster was saying pinto beams not being vegetarian was changed years ago, not that sodium content has changed.
Op I am over 45 and I don't really worry about salt and I do not have any medical concerns.

Even though sodium isn't really an issue for most people. It makes sense that there is a high level of sodium in Chipotle's food. Almost all restaurant food has a high level of sodium. It's always better to make your own food at home!0
