Chipotle Nutrition FAQ
How many calories are in a Chipotle burrito bowl?
A typical Chipotle chicken burrito bowl with white rice, black beans, fajita veggies, salsa, and lettuce contains about 665 calories. Adding cheese (+110 cal), sour cream (+110 cal), or guacamole (+230 cal) significantly increases the total. A fully loaded bowl with all extras can exceed 1,100 calories.
What is the healthiest thing to order at Chipotle?
The healthiest Chipotle orders include: a salad bowl with chicken, fajita veggies, fresh tomato salsa, and lettuce (around 400 calories); or a burrito bowl with cauliflower rice, black beans, and chicken without cheese or sour cream. Skip the tortilla, cheese, sour cream, and chips to keep calories and fat low.
How many calories in Chipotle guacamole?
A side of Chipotle guacamole contains 230 calories, 22g of fat, 8g of carbs, and 2g of protein. While high in calories, guacamole provides healthy monounsaturated fats, fiber, and potassium. Use it sparingly if counting calories, or skip it to save 230 calories.
Is Chipotle good for a diet?
Chipotle can be very diet-friendly because you control every ingredient. A low-calorie order (under 500 calories) is absolutely possible with a salad bowl or burrito bowl with cauliflower rice, chicken or sofritas, fajita veggies, salsa, and lettuce. Avoid high-calorie extras like cheese, sour cream, guacamole, and especially chips (540 cal alone).
How many calories are in a Chipotle burrito vs bowl?
The main difference is the tortilla, which adds 320 calories. So a burrito with identical fillings to a bowl will have 320 more calories. A standard chicken burrito with all toppings can easily reach 1,200-1,400 calories, while the same bowl would be 880-1,080 calories.
