Chipotle or Subway - what's the healthier lunch option?

Neither is particularly healthy, OP.

I bet you're fun at office lunches.

I'd go Chipotle, OP. It is salty (more or less so depending on who seasoned it), and very caloric, but it seems way fresher and less processed than Subway. Personally, Subway is off my list forever for being the last food I ate before getting insane food poisoning.

Subway will be lower in calories, Chipotle will be more nutritious, especially if you swap the sour cream for a little guacamole.

You have a poor understanding of nutrition if you think these 2 options will lead to a heart attack. What did you eat for lunch today, hypocrite?

The Chipotle is healthier as you list it because it's more of a complete meal with some real protein. It'll leave you feeling full. If you're going for healthy food and smaller potions, I'd probably bring lettuce from home and eat half of the toppings today over lettuce, and half tomorrow. With salsa or a small portion of dressing. Heck, you can even add avocado.

Probably a green smoothie with plain popcorn dusted with nutritional yeast. YAWN.

Chipotle. The Subway condiment sandwich has almost no actual nutrients.

+1. I love the (myriad) posters who equate healthier with "fewes possible calories."

Plus, that Subway bread is just uber=processed crap. Even the "healthy" options.

Nutritional yeast can be damn tasty if you're into umami flavors. Don't knock it til you try it.

The subway one is certainly fewer calories, but the chipotle option might keep me full, whereas I would immediately eat something else after the subway sandwich to get the taste out of my mouth.

Subway is overly processed and full of nitrates. It does have few calories as there is no substance to it.

I say chipotle. However I'd skip the rice and sour cream add extra lettuce and guac.

Condiment sandwich. This is a perfect description.

I think the Chipotle would keep me more full for a longer period of time - so if it kept me from snacking later, I would go for that.

Don't skip the rice. Together rice and beans are a complete protein. Chipotle will fill you up.

I don't count Subway as actual food. It's gross.

Chipotle all the way.

agreed. I remember in college my friend asked what the meat in the $5 sub was (it had 3 meats in it) and the girl behind the counter said it wasn't actual cold cuts like we'd think, but just weird fake cold cuts. GROSS.
