What I Order: Chipotle

I’ve become a huge fan of Chipotle lately since there is a convenient location right around the corner from the Barre studio I teach at. But I try not to eat out that often because I enjoy cooking at home, saving money, and knowing exactly what I’m consuming for nutrients.

The guilt-free benefit of Chipotle is it’s a larger chain that provides nutrition options across the web so when I’m busier and don’t have time to stop at home to cook lunch or I’m getting home late, I know I have a healthy option in reach. Here are three of my personal favorite orders:

• Lighter = Steak Salad:
  • Order a salad with steak, black beans, fajita veggies (I order a double order), and tomatillo-green chili salsa. If you’re looking for extra fat – add a small scoop of guac.
    • Calories: ~325
    • Protein: 31 g
    • Sodium: 955 mg
• Protein Packed = Chicken Rice Bowl:
  • Order a bowl with chicken, brown rice, black beans, shredded cheese, fajita veggies, and tomatillo-red chili salsa.
    • Calories: ~685
    • Protein: 50 g
    • Sodium: 1,400 mg
• Tacos:
  • Two crispy corn tacos with black beans, guacamole, fajita veggies, lettuce, and light queso.
    • Calories: 436
    • Protein: 10 g
    • Sodium: 497 mg

I rarely skip an order of chips and queso as well for some splurge. Enjoy & stayed tuned for future ‘What I Order’ posts at different locations (Have a suggestion – send it my way!)
