Chipotle!~!

What does everyone order when they go?

I felt bad for the woman in front of me. She was literally about twice my size and everything they were giving her, she would say "A little more" The meals they provide are easily enough for two servings, or in this case three.

I used their website to calculate what my bowl was. I am on a moderate carb diet, so I got 1/2 black beans, 1/2 pinto beans, 1/2 chicken, 1/2 steak, cheese and a tad of sour cream and hot sauce.

530 Calories
21.5g fat (10.5 sat fat)
905g sodium
28g carbs
16g fiber
4g sugar
49g protein

But it got me wondering... what does everyone else get? Can you eat it all in one sitting?

What do you all get??

Why is it relevant what the lady in front of you got? Seems like you just wanted to be able to write a post bashing the fat lady that asked for extra in her bowl, and couldn't figure out a polite way to do it (cause it's rude) so you figured you'd ask what people order and throw that in.

But, if you really care, I get black beans (no rice), fajita veggies, hot salsa, and a small amount of cheese and sour cream when I go (which is maybe once per month).

On the same token, you posted just to bash her post, so you guys are even-steven.

I have never been, but yours has more fat than I can have all day! I think there is no way to stay low fat and go out to eat. Boo

WOW... No. I didn't sit in the line thinking "OMG I can't wait to get back to my computer and bash her on MFP" but when is "enough enough?" Like when you want to help, but it's clearly not your place. I think we take our portion sizes way out of control.

You eat less than 21g of fat all day? Do you stay full all day? Please share your secrets!!

We (most of us) live in America and portion control has been out of control for a very long time. Some people don't care, it is what it is...

I regularly eat at Chipotle for lunch, since it is right next to my building at work, and I often get lazy about packing a lunch.

I get the salad with chicken, black beans, fajita veggies, mild salsa, and cheese. No dressing. 460 calories, 17g fat, 50g protein. Heavenly and super filling. Unfortunately, the sodium level is high, but it is what it is.

(burrito bowl) i get veggies, extra meat, no beans, no rice.. sour cream and guacamole and red chili sauce.

other than that, it varies - but i can eat it in one sitting because i cut out rice/beans

myfitnessval

i get a burrito bowl.

brown rice, blackbeans, carnitas (even though they're awful for you this is something i'm not willing to compromise), light cheese, and lettuce. mmmm mmm! i think its around 560

BARBACOA, BROWN RICE.
350 CALORIES. I eat half.
WINNER

Thank God I don't have a Chipotle within driving distance!! This place almost single-handedly added 20 pounds!

I ALWAYS ALWAYS order a steak burrito with rice, pinto beans, mild salsa, extra cheese and sour cream. In the beginning, I could only take half of that. Eventually, I evolved/expanded to be able to eat the entire massive thing plus chips and a large drink!

I get the vegetarian burrito...

Brown rice, black beans, fajita veggies, sour cream, cheese, lettuce, pico, and a ton of hot sauce.

The burrito runs me about 1000 calories, but I eat it in one sitting and usually don't eat much for the rest of the day.

...I would eat it every day, but I don't like forking out 7 bucks for a burrito.

chocolateandvodka

i eat it almost daily. i admit, i'm an addict. but it's organic and healthy and yummy and yes... one bowl often = 2 meals for me.

How do you know she wasn't getting extra so she could eat the other half for dinner? That's what I do.

Double chicken all the way across the sky ~

I haven't had chipotle in like forever but I can say I used to be one of those who asked for extra of this and extra of that...

Same here! It's two blocks away, and cheap. It's hard to pack lunches with my schedule. But with the sodium, I drink a ton more water and am more conscious of my other two meals in regards to sodium!

Is this kind of like a Moes?

At Moes I like the Jr burrito with black beans, steak, fajita veggies, pico, and lettuce. Yummy, and keeps me full forever!!

I always get the same thing. Burrito bowl with brown rice, black beans, fajita peppers and onions, mild salsa, corn, lettuce, and guacamole. It's like 500 calories or something from when I looked it up once. And I usually ask for less rice.

_Wits_

White rice, chicken, mix of mild and medium salsa, and lettuce. It's around 470 cals. I eat the whole thing. It generally takes like a hour to do so lol but I'm pretty much done eating for the day after that.

A few weeks ago worked with a very large person. Constantly eating little pre packaged snack cakes, totinos pizza's cold, 1000 Calorie McDonalds meals, cokes, etc. I did feel bad for him, and no I am not bashing. This web site is a great eye opener to serving sizes, portion control, etc. My progress started with a good bathroom, and kitchen scales.
