Carl's JR. NO-NO-NO

Yup. I went there. My family and I went to Carl's Jr. I hadn't eaten anything, so I was kinda hungry and in the mood for "mexican". So, what did I order. I ordered a Bean and Cheese Burrito Combo. Which came with a Bean and Cheese Burrito, Tortilla chips, rice, and refried beans. I luckily didn't eat all of it, but still I know I ate too much. Here's what I did eat:

2/3 burrito
5-6 tortilla chips
All the refried beans
two small bites of rice.
1/2 Med. coke which also had about 2/3 ice.

So while I know I didn't eat it all, and therefore spared myself a few calories, I can't seem to find how many calories are in the meal all-together. Can anyone help me out. I attempted to go to the website several times, but for some reason my computer doesn't want me on that site. So, if anyone can help me out I'd greatly appreciate it, all I need to know is how many calories are in the meal all-together. Thanks everyone. I'll keep trying myself in the meantime.


BAD ME! :explode: :mad: :blushing: :devil:

    I found the nutrition info, but I couldn't find your meal.

    http://www.carlsjr.com/menu/

    Carl's Jr has a sister company called Hardee's around here. I used to stop there three times a week for breakfast.:noway: No wonder I ended up like this. Some times I just want to kick my own *kitten*..but I've been doing a lot of that.
  • I tried, but I don't see that meal on the menu, sorry I can't help you more.:frown:

    Isn't Hardee's a fast food, not Mexican.... If I am thinking of the right Hardees....

    Carl's and Hardees have low carb, low fat, low calorie and no gluten options. They have gone way beyond to provide these healthy choices!

    You guys need to read the menu before you go and make wise choices. Don't blame it on the restaurant when you make bad choices! They also have a nutrition calculator that you can use to find the healthiest options.


    Don't eat what you want and then blame it on the place you eat at...let's make smart choices people!

  • I wasn't exactly blaming them. I was simply saying, that it sucks that they have to make their food so good. I blame myself for having eaten there. And as far as having used their calculator to calculate exactly what I would be eating before eating it, I would have, had I #1 known about it and #2 known before pulling into the parking lot that I would be going there, and #3 had all the time in the world to gaze at their marvelous menu options--hard to do with a hungry hubby and 2 kids under three in the back seat screaming and crying cause' they want their food--NOW, plus having a BUNCH of people behind me waiting on me wasn't helping either. SO I am sorry to Carl's Jr. for having made it seem like I blame you for my problems. Better?

    Mm, I tried as well, sorry, but I couldn't find any of that...

    What I did see, though, kind of impressed me. While some of their foods were outrageous in the cals dept. (ie a side if chili cheese fries weighing in at 990cal!) There were some really good choices too! It says on their site that they can wrap any burger or sandwich in lettuce, cutting some of their sandwiches down under 200cal! Or you can swap for a honey and whole wheat bun, which makes them between 350 and 400. And the fried zuchini looks really good too, for only 330 cals, it would be alright as a treat, especially if you split it with someone :)

    Sorry haha, that just really excited me :blushing:

    AND

    Thank you to everyone else for all the comments and websites. I tried everyone's but again, this darn thing wouldn't go to them, not until I copy and pasted AOFSTEDAHL's post that I FINALLY got what I needed. THANKS AGAIN TO EVERBODY!!!

    In marketing preception is reality. Since they spend millions of dollars advertising Colossal "Thick" Burgers; on the rare occasion I do eat out, they don't even cross my mind.

    Meanwhile Subway has embraced the "fitness and healthy" eating market. Just like not every thing at Hardee's/Carls is bad for you, not every thing at Subway is healthy, but they have spent millions of dollars for me to think that way, and just getting me in the door is half the battle.

    Because like you said, our choices are our own.

    I do believe we all got your point, our point to you, was simply that you were coming across as WAY to harsh. We all know our choices are our own, if we choose to eat 2,000 calories, it's our choice. Just like it's our choice not to. And yay for me, I managed not to go over my calories today. Thanks to excecise, and that was my choice on how to deal with what I HAD done. Like I said, I don't REALLY blame fast food places, or any other place for that matter, for making delicious food that I sometime crave. Nor for my lack of self-control.

    I do hope that this whole mess can be put to rest, I so appreciate your comments, and love reading them. Until next time.

    In my town it's called Hardee's/Red Burrito. I've never eaten any of the Mexican stuff...I like Taco John's myself! And apparently no one knows what that is....:laugh:

    That's strange how it's the same thing, but different name Carl's Jr./Green Burrito vs. Hardee's/Red Burrito. Sounds like a Celebrity Death Match battle. lol. :laugh: I crack myself up. :happy:

    Oh! BTW no clue what "Taco John's" is. :indifferent: BUT IT SOUNDS YUMMY! :devil: :happy:

    I do a Hardee's Country Steak Biscuit once in a while, but I have to plan my whole day around it. I do it on a day when I'm doing at least an hour on the bicycle,,, Hehehe. Delish,, but man it's spendy calorically. (620 cals, 370 from fat, 14 grams protein).


    I love Subway's Black Forest ham sub on Wheat. I get a 12", tons o'veggies, S&P, no mayo. 1/2 now, 1/2 for lunch tomorrow. 340 calories each, 14 grams protein.

    It's best to know what you're eating BEFORE you eat it, huh?


    Good job taking the time to find and and learn Amber. Won't do that again, will we? :smile:

    Celebrity death match haha...war of the big a** burgers.

    Taco John's is fast food Mexican euphoria...a billion times better than Taco Bell, and they have these things called potato olés that are tater tots covered with a ton of tasty spices :love: Too bad the nearest one to me now is 2 hours...I think they're located selectively in the south, and by selectively I mean not everywhere, just a few blessed places haha
