Anyone else have an issue with the severe differences in nutritional info for Chipotle in the MFP database and their website? Even within the database the same item ranges from 500 to over 1000 calories? WTF?

    Just use the online calculator and make your own entry. Do NOT click the checkbox that says to share the entry with other people. We don't need to have every permutation of the chipotle menu in the food database :)

    I'd assume it's because everyone's burritos are different? I'm not sure though. It would be nice if they broke down their ingredients and gave you the calories for each item kind of like Subway on their site. OH THEY DO!

    I just break down the items individually. I always get the same thing there - burrito bowl w/ grilled chicken, black beans, cilantro-lime rice, lettuce, and salsa. It makes it easy to calculate because they have the breakdown on their website under nutritional info.

    It all depends on what choices you make while building your meal there... I go piece by piece and add all the things I have in my burrito bowl and save it as a meal into "My Meals". Since I'm a creature of habit, I rarely change what I get there.

    I also noticed that unless I plan for Chipotle, I will mess up my diet every time I go there... so I try to stay away.
