[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We bring in burrito bowls at Chipolte - I get veggie and Dh gets chicken, and neither of us add sour cream or cheese. While one waits in line at chipolte, the other runs into the grocery store to buy a bag of tortilla chips, a pack of tortillas, a bag of frozen corn and an avocado.  Then at home we divide our bowls into portions (mine gets split in thirds and Dh's in half), and make burritos using the store bought tortillas and adding sliced avocado with chips and corn on the side. It is healtheir this way, better portion control, and we make 2 or 3 meals (usually the dinner plus a lunch or 2) out of it. [/quote]

I am really not trying to hate here, but I don't get this.  Instead of getting a burrito with no cheese or sour cream, you eat half a burrito bowl, a tortilla, avocado, chips, and corn?  And the second option is healthier?[/quote]

She eats it as 3 meals.[/quote]

Ok then, so she eats a third a burrito bowl, a tortilla, avocado, chips, and corn.  I'm still not sure overall that there is much of a calorie or nutrient advantage, if any, to her meal over the straight up burrito.  I'm confident she would be better off just eating the entire burrito bowl as one meal.  Again, I'm cool if she just prefers her way and thinks it makes for a more enjoyable meal.  And I love me some Chipotle.  It just seems like a lot of effort for very little if any return if you are doing it solely for health.[/quote]
