Chipotle, it’s what’s for lunch

Chipotle has got to be the best lunch place in the neighborhood where I work. I eat about three of these burritos a week. With my metabolism through the roof as it has been when I exercise, it’s not a good sign when I am hungry again at the end of the day. As a result, I’ve tried to cut back to having it just twice a week, but man, if I can’t resist all that gooey burrito mess. I recommend the burrito with about 20 napkins.

As compared to other fast food establishments (which interestingly enough, McDonalds sold it’s remaining shares from) they pride themselves on healthy food selection. I remember going in one time and having them tell me that the rice was not up to standards and therefore their would not be any rice today. Ok, so they have good standards, and I don’t feel like I’m eating anything fried. But I was shocked to see the high salt content. I generally stay away from salt, because I am sensitive to it and it makes me thirsty, but the nutritional information that I found for it was shocking.

For people on a diet and might look at this, I recommend getting it with out the wrap in a bol–cuts the calories by about 300.
