    Everyone needs to calm down a little bit about omitting meat lol. You can be fantastically healthy without it, and still get plenty of protein. YouTube "vegan body builders". You'll be amazed.
    It tasteS good.
    It's a natural source of healthy protein.
    It tastes good.
    What are you not getting?

    I haven't been, but looking at the nutrition online definitely convinced me not to check. Even their chicken has a ridiculous amount of fat, they probably cook it in oil or something...

    All of their meats are cooked in oil (and yes, it's the expected "vegetable" oil) *except* the pork/carnitas.

    please don't report me.....i've never been to chipotle :frown:

    Then how did you get on my FL???


    (Oh wait...you aren't...

    ...and that is why.)


    :never been to chipotle indeed: pshaw

    well...I didn't want to be friends anyway ***walks away in a huff**

    As you can see from my profile, I completely agree.

    Check those out. I'm in no way trying to dictate how other people should eat...I'm the last person who would do that. I personally have done a lot of reading on this debate, and am starting to realize that it may be healthier to eat a diet lower in meat and dairy. On the political side, many people don't eat meat because most of it comes from factory farms where animals are treated terribly and inhumanely, and the process of factory farming contributes very much to the destruction of our planet.

    I try to keep an open mind. Just some friendly food for thought.

    No doubt. But if your only reason for skipping meat is to cut calories, replacing it with beans is just nonsensical.

    Everyone, I am NOT advocating cutting the meat and REPLACING with beans. I am saying, get beans anyway (like most people do) and skip the meat. The reason I do this personally is because I have issues with meat grossing me out midway through a meal and not being able to keep eating, and I found that that was the aspect of Chipotle that was putting me off. Also, if you get beans AND meat, that's a lot more calories than just beans isn't it? If you want meat and no beans, to each his own, but don't make it seem like I am saying meat is a high calorie poor source of protein or something stupid like that.

    There is absolutely nothing wrong with not eating meat at every single meal.

    I get mine without rice. Just black beans, double the fajita veggies, no meat, all the salsas including corn, and guacamole. Then I add more Chipotle Tabasco than is really necessary, but oh my goodness, I love that stuff.

    That is only when I'm watching my calories. If I'm cheating, I'll get: White rice, black beans, fajita veggies, steak, all the salsas, cheese, sour cream, and guac. The chipotle tabasco goes without saying.

    I am a huge fan of the vegetarian burrito bowl, with brown rice and salsa....I can skip the sour cream/cheese/guac and it is still yummy!

    Since I've joined MFP I've been feeling like a tiny little "meat only compliments my diet occasionally" fish swimming in a sea filled with meat obsessed ultra carnivores. I'm scared. Please don't eat me. Eat some kale and quinoa instead.

    I saw Chipotle and thought this was about the wonderful smoked jalapenos in adobo sauce... need to make another viniagrette from some chipotle peppers and EVOO... Mmmmm! I don't really care to eat out that often its always possible to find a decent choice at most places especially chains with nutrition facts available online. Look it up before you go and prepare to succeed

    Eat your cat first. A healthy, natural source of protein right there in your own home.

    I eat kale, quinoa, and meat. I don't discriminate against tasty things.

    Oh, and am I the only one that prefers barbacoa over the chicken and steak?

    Funny. That's EXACTLY what I get whenever I go to Chipotle. I realized a long time ago that I prefer the vegetarian option there. It tastes much better.

    My preference would be steak > carnitas > barbacoa > chicken > meatless.

    No meat. Skip the meat. It adds calories. You're going to get a ton of protein from the beans. There's just no reason for it. No meat.

    Uh, there is plenty good reason for it. It tastes good. It tastes very good. I'll take the meat over their shredded cheese and rice any day, thank you. I understand skipping out on the meat if you're a vegetarian, but your reasoning seems to be "omg the evil calories", which amuses me because rice. :tongue:

    Thanks for sharing, though. :flowerforyou:

    lol Did you forget to tell us how many grams of fat on purpose?

    I go with a salad (no dressing)- Lettuce, EXTRA fajita veggies, steak AND chicken (MEAT!! Its what's for dinner!!) and mild salsa (The salsa works well in place of dressing)

    430 Cals, 14g fat, 13g carbs, a *kitten* ton of sodium, and 65g protein

    Take THAT holy grail! :drinker:
