    No we won't tell you it's ok to eat Taco Bell.

    I was thinking the same thing.

    I use to go to Taco Bueno because I liked their bean burritos. I would order a bean and cheese burito and a beef taco and thought that I was doing good. One day I looked up the calorie count and the freaking burrito is 604 calories!!!!! For ONE DANG BURRITO!!

    That's because Taco Bueno puts lard in their beans to make them so damn yummy!
    mmmmm, Bueno......

    If you "budget" for it, whatever you want...

    If I end up there with others (I don't like being "that guy" who refuses to go where others want to) and am just trying to do a reasonable meal, I usually get a crunchy fresco taco and either a fresco bean burrito or chicken soft taco depending on level of hunger (bean burrito seems more filling). The one near my office has diet Mtn Dew at the self serve soda machine, so I usually leave there with a major caffeine buzz...

    Oh yeah - old bigger me would order a combo with a chalupa and a couple of tacos or whatever. All their combos are about the same - one oversized high calorie item and 2 normal sized items.

    I haven't been to Taco Bell in 8 years. Never going back.

    This is coming from a guy who used to eat there for two meals a day in college. I probably spent more money at Taco Bell than I did on tuition. Now? I can't even hear "Taco Bell" without getting queasy. It's weird how things just change like that.

    Old me: 2 beef chalupas, mexican pizza, and 2 soft tacos. Plus a giant soda.

    New me: Can't eat there anymore due to great stomach upset and migraine headaches when I eat fast food in general.
    I miss it sometimes but I make my own tacos at home now (and they taste much better). :drinker:

    If I go to Taco Bell (or any other fast food place), I plan it and lower my calories during that week so then I can order what I would normally order without feeling guilty. I usually have the chilli cheese burrito with fries supreme. Anytime I do that, I still stay under my weekly calorie goal and it hasn't slowed my weight loss.

    However, I only do this on occasion... I wouldn't do it too often...

    Old me: The chalupa supreme meal with 2 tacos (all beef) and a dr. pepper.
    Beef Chalupa- 370 calories
    Crunchy taco - 170 calories each
    30oz Dr. Pepper - 380 calories

    Total: 1090 calories

    New me: I haven't eaten there since I've become the "new" me. ;-) If I had to choose, though, I'd say 1 doritos locos tacos, as others have said they are only 200 calories. :wink:

    Nacho Cheese Doritos Locos Taco- 170 calories. Pft. 920 calorie difference!

    My typical go-to meal is generally:

    Chicken soft taco
    Soft taco supreme
    Doritos taco supreme

    When I have more calories, I'll order Nachos Bell Grande, chalupas, quesadillas, double decker tacos, cantaina bowl/burritos, etc.

    When I used to go to Del Taco when I lived in CA I used to get the Macho Beef Burrito. Its HUGE and has almost 1200 calories in it by itself. Its so damn big, I used to call it a dead cat burrito.

    It was so heavy that I was convinced there was some small animal wrapped up in that giant tortilla.

    Three Dorito Locos tacos (regulars) and/or a Griller. If and when I rarely eat there anymore, it's only on a run day.

    Great, now I want some Taco Bell!

    I used to get the regular taco supremes with a side of cinnamon twists.

    Now I get soft beef tacos.

    Either way, I love a TON of the hot sauce on them.
