Chipotle Nutrition Tips

Choose Bowls Over Burritos

Skipping the flour tortilla saves ~300 calories. A bowl with all the same toppings is significantly lighter while being just as filling.

Pick Brown Rice

Same calories as white rice but with more fiber (3g vs 2g) and slightly more protein. It provides sustained energy without the blood sugar spike.

Load Up on Fajita Veggies

Only 20 calories but adds volume, flavor, and nutrients. They are free, so ask for extra to fill up your bowl without the guilt.

Use All Three Salsas

All salsas are very low in calories but pack tons of flavor. The corn salsa has the most calories at 80, but it is still reasonable for the portion.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the healthiest protein at Chipotle?

Chicken is the healthiest option with the best protein-to-calorie ratio (32g protein for 180 calories). Sofritas (tofu) is excellent for vegans at only 150 calories. Barbacoa and steak are also lean choices. Avoid chorizo if you are watching calories, as it has the most fat.

Is guacamole worth the calories?

Yes! Guacamole is high in calories (230), but it provides healthy monounsaturated fats, fiber, and essential nutrients. It keeps you full and adds satisfaction to your meal. The fat helps absorb vitamins from the vegetables in your bowl.

How many calories are in a typical Chipotle burrito?

A typical burrito with rice, beans, protein, cheese, sour cream, and guacamole ranges from 1,000-1,300 calories. That is more than half the daily calories for many adults. Choosing a bowl instead can cut this to 600-800 calories.

Are Chipotle Lifestyle Bowls actually healthier?

Many Lifestyle Bowls are nutritionally balanced. The Whole30 salad bowl (~500 cal) and Keto bowl (~600 cal) are good options. However, the vegan bowl can still be high in calories if it includes rice, beans, and guacamole together.

What should I order for weight loss?

Build a bowl with brown rice, black beans, chicken, fajita veggies, all three salsas, and guacamole. Skip the cheese and sour cream. This comes to around 600 calories with 40g of protein and 15g of fiber - perfect for staying full while losing weight.

How can I reduce sodium at Chipotle?

Chipotle items can be high in sodium. To reduce intake: choose fresh tomato salsa (lowest sodium), skip or go light on cheese and sour cream, ask for half portions of high-sodium items, and drink plenty of water. The easiest way is to avoid tortillas and extra salsas.
