Chipotle as a Cheat Meal and You

Chipotle is delicious
and
I think it makes a great cheat meal if you’re out with a friend or something…
heres the deal.

I just did a chipotle burrito nutrition calculator to see what you get from eating it… and here’s what I read.

My specific burrito reads…

Obviously its not something you should eat regularly, but if you wanted something really spicy and large… wouldn’t this be a good cheat meal

Did I mention its delicious?

I dont eat this stuff anymore… but if I do pick a cheat meal I think I’m shooting for this.

hell ya this stuff is delicious!

Where did you find this link to figure out the nutrition facts? Im kinda interested in the burrito i normally get. Mind pming it to me.

My burrito is 1287 calories and I use it often as a post workout meal.

can i see a picture of your burrito joburnet ;p no pun intended. -_- I love getting a full cup of the house hotsauce and drinking that with my burrito. hmm melting my face never felt so good.

Hangarbaby, I browsed through your other thread and there’s no way you are close to needing/earning “cheat meals.” The burrito is detrimental to your goals, period.

If you want to lose the weight, man up and stop thinking about fucking fast food.

mmm Chipotle. That better not be fast food quality for what you pay for a burrito.

Personally I dont see it as a cheat meal if you get the burrito bowl and skip the sour cream. Just a bit high in calories, but the protein is high, good fat from the gauc, veggies, iz all goooood.

Yeah, if you make a burrito properly it’s not necessarily a cheat meal. Just do it healthy. I have a breakfast burrito most mornings and I don’t consider it a cheat.

Salad + Steak + Guac + Hot Sauce = Yummy

Every time I see the words ‘cheat meal’ it’s something like this. Unless you’re dieting down, why is this bad? It makes me wonder how people ever make gains when a tortilla filled with beans, rice and meat falls so far out of bounds of their diet as to be considered ‘cheating.’

Don’t get me wrong, I don’t cheat… not yet anyways.

However, given the opportunity to eat one of these bad boys I can say safely that I probably wouldn’t turn it down for health reasons

(before dieting I averaged 1 to 2 burritos a month)

since it’s only $1.50 extra, you prob have to get double meat with anything you order at Chipotle.

double meat + lettuce + fajita veggies + cheese in a salad (no dressing) is almost AD friendly.

For the curious: http://www.chipotlefan.com/index.php?id=nutrition_calculator

PozzSka, why is it ALMOST AD friendly?

A chipotle burrito bol (or salad) with double meat, cheese, tomato salsa, and fajita veggies has only 13 carbs.

70Protein, 31g Fat, 13 carbs (take away the salsa and you have ony 10carbs).

If the rest of your diet was pretty strict carb-wise, you could fit that into the AD.

Why ask me to explain it? You have the link, you could have figured it out yes?

I worked at a chipotle for over a year, there is NO way I would call it “fast food”

maybe quick service sure.

the meats are marinated and grilled or actually COOKED

the fajitas are ACTUALLY sauted(sp?)

the salsas are hand made

the guac is from FRESH avocados that we skin and mash up ourselves multiple times a day.

if anything gets to be low quality (example: fries from mcdonalds after they’ve sat there for two hours) the food is weighed, marked down and tossed out.

omg. chipotle is my first love, i didn’t think anybody ever went there on this site.

ahhhhhh

make it a little healthier, skip the burrito and rice. get fajita bowl.

ahhh. sorry about the poor grammar/punctuation/capitalization of letters etc. i’m way too tired

(Edit: Oh, by the way, my steak burrito (steak, fajitas, rice, mild salsa, hot salsa and cheese) makes for 16-24oz of post workout nutrition lmao. My recommendation if you get a burrito, ask them to cut it in half, makes two full meals.)

My cheatmeal is usually hardees mushroom and swiss burger, or a 5 cheese pasta or a huge fucking monstrous peanut butter and chocolate sauce sandwich with chocolate milk and cookies.
