I Think A Better Question Is Who DOESN’T Want More Chipotle Themed Entries?

So, PTK provided me with two brilliant Chipotle-related links. The first is a music video starring a cowboy and what appears to be a barbacoa burrito and I’m not gonna lie, this one made me feel a tad frisky.

The second is a Chipotle nutrition calculator. I’m glad the previous video put you in a good mood, because this information will not.  All but one of my recommended burritos is over 100% of your daily sodium…

Nutritional value for my recommended burritos (for full details) : 1. (Dbl Carnitas/fajita/guac):  1245 calories, 54 g of fat, 120 mg of cholesterol, and a whopping 4700 mg of sodium.

2. (Barb/Pinto/Guac): a more reasonable 1033 calories, 32 g of fat, 55 mg of cholesterol, and still  3361 mg of sodium.

3. (4 tacos): What appears to be the healthiest of my recommendations, but unequivocally the least filling: an even 500 calories, 23 g of fat, 95 mg of cholesterol, and a reasonable 1120 mg of sodium.

4. (bol, bb, faj, chicken/steak): 825 calores, 30g of fat, 95mg of cholesterol, and 3145 mg of sodium.

*please note the last two are approximations as the website doesn’t account for splitting meats

With the exception of the sodium content, the burrito bol is a relatively healthy option, all things considered. Unfortunately, all of those Chipotle “haters” have a legitimate argument about the health content of the regular burritos, especially if you want to make it have “taste.” Will this deter me from eating there for lunch? Hell no! But I might go easy on the corn/cheese.
