    I usually go with a girlfriend of mine and I get one of several things.

    If it's lunch, or I have been very good all day and have some room for carbs, I get a burrito bowl: barbacoa or carnitas (I'm weird about chicken), 1/2 brown rice, pinto beans, fajita veggies, tomato salsa, red tomatillo salsa (I love spicy), 1/2 sour cream, and lettuce. Calculated to less than 600 cals!

    If it's dinner, or I need to be very good, I'll order a salad (no vinaigrette) with carnitas (sometimes double), tomato salsa, spicy tomatillo salsa, 1/2 sour cream. Mucho protein.

    Either way, I get a side of chips and guac. I go easy on the chips (and split them with my friend) and usually put a spoonful of guac in my bowl. Gotta love healthy fats!

    I'm strange about cheese - if I'm getting something else that's creamy, then no cheese for me! And I feel like the sour cream really gets where I need it to go, cooling down the hot salsa, so cheese isn't necessary.

    The ones near me will let me order only two tacos, and charge a little bit less for it than for three tacos, so if I want a quick meal that's filling and less than 500 calories, I'll have two soft tacos with corn tortillas. One chicken, one steak, with beans, lettuce, a small amount of cheese, medium salsa.

    If I'm starving, I'll have a bowl but sometimes I ask them to put in 1/2 the beans and 1/2 the rice they usually do, to keep the calories down if I already ate quite a bit that day.

    3 Chicken Tacos with lettuce, (cilantro if they have it or cheese if they don't) and medium salsa. I then top my taco with the green hot sauce. Oh, and 2 oz of their cilantro rice :)

    That was then, when I first discovered Chipolte. Now I get a bowl with white rice, double beef, mild salsa and lettuce, YUM YUM!!!!

    Burrito bowl with black beans, fajita (pronounced fa-HEE-ta) veggies, barbacoa or steak (barbacoa has the fewest calories, carnitas has the most), pico and extra lettuce. No rice, cheese, guac or sour cream. It's delicious, and so filling!

    Vegetarian bowl with black beans, brown rice, hot and corn salsas, guacamole, lettuce, and a small bit of sour cream. I go when I have saved enough calories to really enjoy it, but most times I make a knock off, lower calorie burrito bowl/salad at home :wink:

    Bowl, brown rice, chicken, fajita veg, light pinto, tomato salsa, lettuce, cheese, sour cream and lots chipotle Tabasco.

    They are building a Chipotle by me. I tested the route by bicycling. I put a hard minimum of 30 minutes of exercise and the new Chipotle is exactly 30 minutes. So I can earn my Chipotle and enjoy it. May even get a burrito if I can spare it!

    Sorry to say it, but I went there once (got a steak burrito) and wasn't all that impressed. I wanted to try it again on the 4th of July, but they were closed that day. Based on my one and only experience, I have to say I definitely prefer Salsaritas (which I believe is only in SC, NC, and TN). Or even Moe's, but definitely Salsaritas. Mmm, ground beef nachos.

    If I were to go again, I'd get a burrito bowl - chicken, brown rice, black beans, cheese, mild, a bit of lettuce....and some sour cream and/or guac if I had the macros for it.

    Do you believe the calorie calculator on Chipotle's website? seems to me that a bowl has far more calories than they estimate.
