+1 If I was doing this three times a week I would split one burrito or bowl with my DH. And I would definitely try the salad - I never have because a
Chipotle is now a once in a while treat.

Chipotle is great. Get the bowl.

Eat a banana first if you are hungry.

Take more veggies and less sour cream or cheese. Less rice, more beans. Make two meals out of it. If you are bringing it back home, add plain yogurt in place of sour cream. Add some cherry tomatoes in it too. I also add walnuts and pumpkin seeds.

It is healthy enough to eat it every day. Just eat half the bowl. What is the problem?

3x a week is a lot. I can make two meals out of a burrito bowl (brown rice, no sour cream).

If you're doing it 3x/week maybe do the salad option, so it's lettuce, black beans, veggies, meat. Skip the sour cream and cheese. But yeah, at least you all get some fresh veggies. There are definitely worse things.

No, disregard all PPs claiming, "it is good/can be good)

It is horrible for you and FULL of salt.

Why did I click on this thread. Now I want a fat Chipotle burrito!

Sodium bomb. Avoid the tortilla and sour cream.

It could be a lot worse! Go lighter on the rice, heavier on the beans, put it on a salad base, skip the tortilla. For kids, especially athletes, I have no concerns about the protein and the guac! There is zero wrong with loading up on guac for kids. For myself, since I tend to eat lower carb, I'll go with the guac and the veggies on a salad bowl plus a protein, skip the rice and bean usually, some cheese. The great thing is you can ask for light/regular/heavy.

It's the sodium that would concern me. One burrito would have more than the daily rec of sodium...

It can actually be relatively good for you! I get a salad with beans and fajita veggies, guac and salsa. Sodium is high but doable

We do the bowls. You can do light rice and extra beans and salsa. Avoid adding too much high calorie additions like sour cream and guacamole (guacamole is healthy but a portion is pretty big)

Try doing a bowl w/ half salad and half rice. Their salad dressing is actually shockingly amazing! I think as long as you talk away the sour cream and queso it’s not bad. I think all of it is good for growing kids. Btw have you tried their new garlic steak? It’s so good. I’ve been doing a sale with garlic steak or tacos with a lot of lettuce and pico and don’t feel bad

I think the extra that's the burrito wrap is worse than sour cream. Would you be OK with a bowl with brown rice or a salad?

I don’t think it’s horrible. I get brown rice, black beans, chicken and every veggie available. And I love the sour cream. Three times a week is crazy, but weekly I think it’s fairly healthy.

My DS has a practice three times weekly near a Chipotle - gets out at the inconvenient hour of 7:30, we're famished and we bring home Chipotle - it's so good but so bad for you right? Is it horrible food? I try to get veggie or tofu burrito and eliminate extras like sour cream or queso but...AHHH!
