If so do you have any suggestions on what to get there.

Your best bet is to find the chipotle menu online and plan out what sounds best to you0

If you eat at a deficit still yes, if you eat too much then no.

Only if you buy this:
Sorry couldn't resist!
As far as suggestions- look at their menu and choose something that fits into your calorie goal.0 -
Everything in moderation. I eat half or less at a time.0

As long as you eat less calories then you burn you can eat everything you like.0

I've only gone once since counting calories and spread the salad over 2 meals... Portions are huge & calories to match! Salad was over 700 calories (whaaa? Ok - I did have cheese, sour cream, and guacamole...). Their site has a cool calorie calculator, based on what you get for toppings, etc. - helps with pre-planning.0 -
Avoid the chips and tortillas, they have the most calories.0

I get the build your own kid tacos. Much lower calorie and tastes just the same.0

No. If you eat Chipotle even one time, you will never ever lose weight for as long as you live, ever.0

My only issue with Chipotle or any other restaurant is that, unless you bring your scale, and have them weight each component by the gram, you don't really know how many calories you are eating. A serving of rice may be calculated at a half cup but they might spoon a full cup into your bowl. I eat Chipotle when I know I can afford extra calories so I don't worry too much that I've compromised my progress.0

I eat there often and have lost almost 3 lbs a week on average. I get light brown rice, chicken, mild salsa, corn and extra lettuce.0

If you go with a salad it's fine. I think it's best to forego the tortilla. I'd say do chicken or steak, barbacoa has more sodium in it. Pinto beans give you a lot of fiber. You can even split up your salad for the day too.0

Why forego anything if it fits in to the OPs calorie and macronutritional goals? Why is salad fine? Are salad calories different in some way?
Why arbitary rules about what can and can't be eaten?
OP. Make sensible choices, choose whatever you like that fits in to your daily calorie and macronutritional goals.0 -
I never ate at Chipotle0

I've never eaten there (none close to me) but I do eat out all the time and still lose weight.

I get a salad with lettuce, chicken and extra mild salasa (which serves as the dressing) - i do not use their salad dressing and this is only 240 calories - but filling:)0
-
I eat there once a week. I get a veggie burrito bowl with brown rice, black beans, fajita veggies, hot salsa, corn salsa, lettuce, and shredded cheese. Sometimes I get their spicy tofu on top as well. It's quite filling, so I usually only eat half for lunch one day, then eat the other half the next day. I also avoid the chips because they are too high in calories for my goal.0

One thing to note is that even if you stay within your calorie goals, food at Chipotle contains an enormous amount of sodium--you may experience some water retention due to that.0
