I was hungry yesterday , so I bought a Burrito from Chipotle

[UndertheOcean]

Figured that's maybe 700 calories , so I can still remain within the limit I set myself , no worries.

well, went to www.calorieking.com today ,and to my horror I consumed 1300 calories in that one Burrito ! jeez .... do they cook the ingredients in Lard ?

1300 ? burning that amount on the treadmill won't be fun

2. I know, but I was very hungry and needed something filling

4. That's okay, I once had the Carl's Jr. Taco Salad

instead of a burger. the salad was 1000 calories!!! :banghead: and i was still hungry!!! :banghead: :rant:

3. It's probably the beans and sour cream...

both can contain lard in restaurant settings to make them smoother on the palate, extend shelf-life and ease of use.

5. Here's the ingredients page from the corporate site:

(Flash - hold cursor over ingredients for a pop-up description-balloon)

I get one of their burritos about once a week, vegetarian style, and love them :)
Plus, it's faster than "fast food" (and healthier without any cheese or sour cream) as I can walk in and out again in about 2 minutes. I go when they open and take it back to the office. So, I can then post here as I eat :P

8. I LOVE Chipotle

And am ecstatic that, since they are no longer owned by McDonald's, my conscience will let me eat there. I usually have four hard shell tacos with black beans, lime rice, grilled onions and peppers, guacamole, romaine lettuce, and tomatillo salsa. That's healthy. But then, I'm vegan. :D

10. We don't have Chipotle around here, but we do have Moe's

I made the mistake of looking up the nutritional value of their burritos, and they were pretty close to what you described. I was destroyed! I mean, I knew I was compromising my diet, but I had no idea how badly! Zoinks!

11. holy jeebus....what a website!`

I just checked the turkey burger I had last night at ruby tuesday (my dad likes the salad bar) and it was over 1000 calories - 24 points on WW - that is my daily allowance!!!


Thanks for the resource and I really need to start exercising so that I have points to eat at the end of the week - it's only tuesday... :scared:
