So I went to Chipotle last night, (had planned to go for a dinner and movie and planned to splurge a little bit--so not all was lost--and making up some today) so went to chipotle thinking the burritos should be not sooo bad in terms of fast food, but was curious of course wanting to log it correctly and looked it up online and was amazed at how many calories are packed into those things! I got a black bean veggie burrito, and granted if I was being really good I would have skipped the sour cream, guac and cheese, but given that I planned to splurge a little got those anyway...but a whole burrito would have been 1050 calories! That's as many calories as I generally eat in a day!!! Luckily I can only eat half of their burritos! But still! I'll be ordering differently next time for sure! It's just kind of gross when I think about it too much...I mean almost 300 calories just in the tortilla...eesh! burrito bol next time! anyway that's my half-rant for the day.

oh yeah! burritos are always the worse. imagine how much you/anyone can pack into them. Im mexican it was hard for me to quite them, but now I order fresh corn tortillas, tacos, not fried stuff... i've never been to that rest before though. But hey good thing is you planned for your splurge AND you only ate half! good for you!

Thanks for the support Cindy! Yeah at home I only eat the 96% fat free tortillas if I eat flour ones. The restaurant is owned by the McDonalds company though slightly better that eating big macs and fries but still I wasn't totally surprised that there were so many calories packed into the burrito.... I'm not sure I can totally quit burritos though...but am willing to make sacrifices to what goes in them. I can forego sour cream guac and cheese if i need to, I am pretty content with a rice, bean and veggie burrito...but looking at the menu even just removing the tortilla would be loads helpful.

Use this site for future visits to any restaurant : http://www.dwlz.com/restaurants.html
The worst fast food mexican place out there is Baja Fresh. It is ridiculous how many calories they cram into their menu. Even eating 3 point Taco Bell Tacos is better than Baja.
Have a great weekend and hope the site helps.
