Hello, I use a site called MyFitnessPal.com to estimate calories and nutritional macros (protein/carbs/fats/fiber, etc). It is very helpful when sites - for example, Subway.com - allow you to customize your menu choices and see the calorie/macro count as you add or subtract ingredients. The coding should not be all that difficult, and many many people would benefit from it. Since you are interested in pure food and offer healthy options (Thanks for the Brown Rice!), this would be a great step and in your best interest to add a "Calculate Your Meal" option to the site. Right now I usually avoid Chipotle, but if I had the information easily at hand to make a quick, healthy lunch choice, I'm sure I would go more often, as you are very close to me and I love your food I realize you already list your nutritional information on the site in detail, but a Meal Calculator would make things much easier as we would be able to see protein, fat, carbs, and calories without having to add them all together separately. Thank you, Christy

You are my hero :flowerforyou:

That would be nice! I live dangerously and eat there anyway.

I love Chipotle. I could eat it everyday, but I can't. Haha! This is going to make it so much easier for me when I decide to treat myself. Thank you!!

Awesome! Thanks for campaigning!

I love Chipotle. According to their nutritional content information, my bowl that I get is 700 calories so if I eat half, which I do, it's only 350!

Good idea.

In the meantime though, here's what I do:

http://www.chipotle.com/en-US/menu/nutritional_information/nutritional_information.aspx

Get out my handy dandy calculator, and just add up the foods I'm gonna eat.

It works, for now

Good idea sending them the email, though! It's nice to have a CSR email you back and acknowledge you have a good idea and it will be implemented!

I Chipotle.

Yeah, I mentioned that in my comment to them, "I realize you have the nutrition info up, but it would make things easier so we don't have to add everything" heehee. I'm just glad an actual person responded. Even better, in the header of their email, you could see where they CC'ed a bunch of other Chipotle employees. I think that's their way of saying "Hey, pay attention to this comment, we're actually doing this one"

DUDE.
Holy crap, my old Burrito Bol was 900 calories... Plus the coke I always got with it, oh my.

I believe every restaurant should post their calories next to the prices. Make it a little easier to choose the right food for our body.
You can always make good choices or splurge occasionally, but it will still be our choice. Kudos to Panera Bread for doing it.

OH MY GOSH! I LOOOOOOOVE CHIPOTLE!
In fact, I now have the nutrition calculator app on my smartphone!

It's my FAVE.

yessss!

I love Chipotle - but seriously one of the worst places to eat because of the amt of food they place in the burritos! When I was at my goal weight I could only eat 1/4 of the burrito because so much food is packed into it. Even if they have a calculator, I probably wouldn't trust it. Just my humble opinion. For those that feel comfortable eating there, kudos! Hopefully it will help.

That's awesome! I was pretty much spot on on my Veggie Burrito with cheese and sour cream and they always over do it on those! (895) My guess was 900 haha. Thanks for posting!

imthelobster

Are those 'serving' sizes (like the 4oz of beans) what they put in the bowls by default? I've always had an issue with knowing exactly how MUCH of stuff they're putting in there.

You guys got me in a Chipotle mood! Wife is grabbibng some tacos on the way home :-)

So happy to see this! You are my hero!
