Chipotle Calorie Calculator!

Check this out, guys!  An individualized calculator for whatever you get at Chipotle's! 

It did give me info for three soft tacos and I only had one, so I just divided the numbers by 3.  But stll this was pretty cool!  I had one soft shell taco, with chicken, black beans, fajita vegetables, and tomato salsa - 200 calories!  It will calculate whatever you put on yours - guacamole, sour cream, etc.

Qdoba has the same thing at their web page - I loved finding out that getting your burrito "Naked" saves 300 calories!

OMG I love Chipotle - I wish they had it in the UK.

Seriously? I find their burritos bland and just not worth it. I guess I am spoiled by some of the "whole in the wall" places I found locally.

Everyone loves Chipotle, but their pinto beans aren't vegetarian and their black beans are just really bland.  I much prefer Rubio's.  There's no lard or any gross stuff in their burritos.  That's the only place I feel safe eating a burrito.  They put chicken broth in their rice, though, which I don't eat anyways.

890 calories for what I usually order.  That actually isn't as high as I though it was.  I thought it would be at the very least 1,000 calories.  Of course if I ate this there would only be about 610 calories left for the day, but that's doable now and then, don't you think?  Of course if I really wanted to not worry about it, I should probably make it a cheat day or maintenance day when I decide to eat at Chipotle.

I've discovered many chain-type food establishments have websites that include the nutritional information for their food.  I wanted a grilled cheese sandwich, so went into the Jack-in-the-Box website and found I could get the Kid's Meal that included the sandwich, a very small order of fries and a drink.  Total calories:  About 550.  It left me with about 700 calories for the day, and I didn't have the cheese and bread in the house to tempt me later.  Though, since then I've discovered a decent Sara Lee 45-calorie-per-slice bread.  But I digress. 

I'm going to see friends where I used to work for lunch tomorrow.  The boss is ordering subs from subway.  Again, I went online and found their nutrition info.  I'm having a 6" BLT on 9-grain roll.  Total cals:  About 360.  Just another example of going online and finding nutrition info.

Hope this is somewhat helpful.

I like it in the salad - I just don't know anywhere else that you can get something like that.  And I love mixing it all up in the bowl with the guac and yum yum yum.

I love Chipotle! Usually either get 4 soft tacos or a burrito with double meat and no rice :).
