    Gawd, I used to eat some 1100 calorie burritos from that place...with steak. Good thing NYC has the rule where chain restaurants have to put calorie counts on the menus. Boy did that change my mind fast!

    I REALLY want to find out how to make their tomatillo hot salsa at home. I love everything at Chipotle and have trimmed down to the bowl and no sour cream or cheese but my weakness is the hot salsa. I get two servings on my bowl and then take three cups home to enjoy on salt free tortillas.

    Pretty sure salsa has basically no calories. The tub I just bought from costco (jack's fresh garden or something like that) is 10 cals a tbsp. At that rate you could eat 1.25 cups for about 100 cals.

    my fave: burrito bowl (meat choice varies), rice, black beans, corn and tomato salsas, a pinch of cheese and a small dollop of sour cream. tons of lettuce. yummm. i had it last night!

    Their ingredients may be fresh but once I saw how many calories I was consuming there I stopped going. Even if you get a bowl, no cheese, guac, or sour cream you would be alarmed at how much sodium is in their food.

    Build your meal on that site and prepare to be amazed. And stay away from their chips if you still plan on going.

    I love that place too!! I've always gone for the chicken or veggie bowl, but I used to get the chips to dip in it. Over 500 calories in the chips alone!! Bye bye delicious chips. :(...

    they do a kid sized bag of chips since they have kid's meals now! if you ask, they should ring it up for you as a side. that way you get some glorious chips without them being more caloric than your entire bol :)
