Chipotle is Giving Us Too Much Food

Haha, I mean I'm trying to lose weight. Isn't that why everyone is on here?

Some are here to lose, others are here to maintain, or gain. There's tons of people here for many different reasons :-)

Nope. Maintaining (over a year) and ensuring I'm adequately fueled for running/racing. When I was losing, I didn't have access to a Chipotle, so I made do with Qdoba, and I understood that no two bowls were the exact same. Some days you go under, some days you go over.

I always pad an additional 250 calories to my diary as a quick add over the listed calories anytime I eat out for this reason. I allow a few meals out a week because I love them I usually do them at lunch and because the portions/calories are so generous, find I'm not all that hungry come dinner and do with a light meal of a salad or something. At home, I weigh everything. I got fat from years of over-estimating, over-consuming. This way has been working for me, and I don't feel that eating out is off-limits.

I'm sticking to Whole Foods where everything is weighed.

I'll eat at that place too. I'll also eat at Chipotle. Maybe even in the same day, I know, scary right?

ahhhhh this guy! Love it.

inorite? meanwhile he has me fantasizing I'll get this guy at my next Chipotle visit....



Don't be stingy JUNIOR keep it coming!

yes we are here to lose weight and eat healthy. If you go in with the knowledge you can watch to make sure they are careful with the servings. and don't eat the whole thing

You'd think, in the WEIGHT LOSS forum, but no.

Many are here to brag about how much they can eat, apparently. I've never wanted to eat a burrito the size of my arm in minutes, but I guess some envy that skill?

I think Chipotle is careful with their quac servings but probably overdoes the cheap stuff-- rice and beans.

Pretty much all restaurant food is going to be a rough estimate only. I remember when I was a teenager and I worked at Sonic I'd always put more ice cream in the shakes and more syrup in the slushes, because more is better, right? I thought I was doing the customers a favor. If you're eating out somewhere it's generally a good idea to assume you're getting more calories than the nutritional information tells you.

If I had just strictly been on a Chipotle diet and planned on losing half a pound a week, I would actually be gaining weight. Not cool.

Good thing this isn't a new diet craze

It should be. It so should be...

And still losing weight. :bigsmile:

I don't know why I manage to do that? I think it's all the prior and after planning. I'm not bragging that I can do it, just stating the facts. I mean, I can do that. I don't even know why. They are magical burritos that defy the laws of physics. Pretty sure my actual stomach inside me is not even that big? I think they metabolize on contact with my mouth? Only explanation I have.
