What should I get from Chipotle?



Recommended Posts

Been looking up calories, carbs and Protein intake from the burrito bowl at Chipotle. My first day back to work (I work at a fast food place, so nothing I can really eat there.) And I got the okay to go swimming recently, so I have been swimming while playing with kids in the pool. (Tossing a hair clip in the pool and diving to grab it.) was one way to work out in the pool. But it did leave me dizzy a bit! When I got out, the young adults next to me (I am 26, but I know I was a few years older so I feel old.) were talking about BBQ. I was so into that idea, but for a possible healthier way of eating, was thinking burrito bowl. But I dunno what I should have with it. I know no rice but the Guacamole is seducing me. What do you usually get for the burrito bowl?

I cheated a bit on the fourth with some Desserts. I have no regrets, but I am back on where I need to be with healthy eating.

I am also 5 weeks out, woot!

What's wrong with BBQ? Grilled meat is a great source of protein! Just don't drown it with BBQ Sauce.< br>
From chipotle when I was early out I would just get a side of meat (yup they will do that in a little 2 oz container!)

Next step for me was burrito bowl with fajita veggies and meat.

Then I added salsa and maybe sour cream or guac.

Now I can do a salad bowl and every so often add the Beans.< br>

My fiancé and I don't have a grill, nor did we have gas money to drive to my parent's or grab the meat. XD So we were kind of stuck there. Next time though!

I get meat - usually carnitas, as beef is hard on me. No rice. Salsa, Beans, guac (but I ask for them to go easy), cheese, sour cream.

Easily 2-3 meals, even 7 years out.

Ah I was just confused by your initial post then, you said they were talking about BBQ and you thought of chipotle as a possible healthier way of eating. I thought you meant it was healthier than BBQ.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
