Today at lunch I overheard someone comment that Chipotle meals can contain enough calories for one day’s worth of eating. I though “Hog wash!” they don’t know what they are talking about. Boy was I wrong. Take a look at their nutritional info, which incidentally was not easy to find. Do they have something to hide? Maybe. I roughly estimated my typical Chipolte burrito (13″ tortilla, rice, black beans, carnitas, salsa, cheese and lettuce) at somewhere over 1000 calories. Considering that the average male diet is suggested to be about 2500 calories, that seems like a bit much, especially if the average diner also purchase chips and a drink. I’m sure that Chipotle is not the only burrito joint guilty of upping our caloric intake, but I’m happier knowing what I’m eating instead of just assuming that if I hold off on the cheese and guac I’m having a much healthier meal.
