[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Eating put is always going to be higher in salt and calories.

But I'm tempted to say Chipotle is healthier. Even if it's higher in calories then a burger.[/quote]

That's just your intuition speaking; it's not really backed up by nutrional facts. I mean, a burger has lettuce and tomato, so it's hard for me to see how that's really all that inferior to fajita vegetables (peppers and onion) that have been fried in oil.

Chipotle food may be slightly higher in quality (i.e., better cuts of meats), but just because it's not sold from a restaurant mocked in a documentary doesn't make it healthier.

Chipotle may also offer more "better" options than fast food. That's a point in its favor.

But really, anytime you don't prepare the meal yourself, you're at the mercy of how much oil, butter, whatever someone else has cooked with. That's true for a burger flipped at Mickey Ds or the fajita meat sizzling at Chipotle.

And you and you alone are in control of portion size.

That was really my point. Eating out is never that great for you.

I'd be curious to see a comparison between a BK meal and a Chipotle meal.

As for portions - I eat about a half a bowl with some chips and guacamole. Even though I don't do beans, fajita veggies, or sour cream it is high in calories, so I don't do it often.[/quote]
