Eliminate the chicken, cheese and sour cream to make it more healthy. Their mild salsa is really good, too.

Double chicken. Every time.0 -
i think its pretty healthy. they have a calorie calculator on their website
double black beans, fajita veggies, white rice, double barbacoa, triple mild salsa, double hot salsa, corn salsa, medium salsa,and lettuce is only 880 cals and its is ****ing huge
you can get as much of anything you want, except meat, for free
i double down on beans, use 4+ of the salsas, get peppers and onions
additional salsa bumps the vegetable content and adds a lot of micronutrients
if you get a burrito, you've entered the Chipotle hall of fame when they need two tortillas to wrap your burrito
Guac is extra. :flowerforyou:0 -
heeeeey, stop picking on the vegan options!!!
It's still delicious without the meat, cheese and sour cream......
Its actually an awesome place for vegans, especially now with the sofritas, but I don't really like the sofritas....
ANNNND if you just get the veggies you don't have to pay for guac, it's amazing.
I wouldn't have said that last comment of mine, had the OP been a vegan... It may taste good without meat and cheese, but it's infinitely better WITH them. :P0 -
The fact that you've gone to a bowl is a huge step in the right direction. Those tortillas are hugely unhealthy.
If you can learn to love beans and fajita veggies, and forgo the rice all-together, you can eat the whole bowl in one sitting for a meal.
why re the tortillas unhealthy?
why eliminate the rice?
edited to add: a whole bowl as he orders now is about 805cals. thats a decent meal in itself.
your advice is poop.

I hit Chipotle 3-4 x/week for lunch. Recently moved from double to triple meat. Is Chipotle "healthy"? Not sure that is the right question.0

If it fits your macros, then it's healthy. As for me, I prefer Mexican food that tastes good, but each to their own...
chipotle is awesome...GTFO with your elitest taste buds and enjoy the nature of less options ready to go.
Freebirds is better, but only the fortunate have those in their towns...
You are crazy! Freebirds is NOT better. Chipotle is food of the GODS!!!!! Freebirds is an expensive, blander copy. They dispense their guac out of a gun!!!!
The Titans prefer real Mexican food.0 -

Chipotle gets a solid rating of double rocket ships.

Chipotle needs a white meat chicken option...their steak is as lean as the chicken.
I thought their chicken was grilled chicken breasts (white meat).
They use chicken thighs.0 -

I will usually do two tacos instead of a full burrito, which cuts down on the calories if you want something in a tortilla. I don't do cheese or sour cream, but I do add guac and a ton of salsa.0

Definitely check out Chipotle's nutrition website. You can add/delete specific items, i.e., salsas, cheese, etc.
Rather than getting an opinion from an MFP member, you'll get accurate numbers.My Chipotle meal below has to be better than my former usual carb-laden lunch and dinners, right? I love eating out and I am a very picky eater so finding healthy options at restaurants is tough for me.
Chipotle
Bowl with Brown Rice
Extra Chicken
Hot salsa - good for the metabolism
Cheese
Sour cream on side, add very little
eat half for lunch an the rest for dinner.0 -
