![]() ![]() ![]() Strangely, the Chipotle nutrition calculator doesn't include a sodium count, which feels a little suspect to us. While our tips will help cut down on your sodium intake, it's impossible to avoid consuming at least a moderate amount of sodium in Chipotle meals. Many meals contain as much as 2,400 mg of sodium - that's the total recommended daily sodium intake by the FDA used in just one meal! Chipotle Salt ContentĬhipotle sodium content can be staggering. Stay away from the queso to lower your calories. Queso blanco contains 120 calories per serving - that's ten calories more than a serving of sour cream! Monterey Jack is probably the best option between the two because it has more protein, but it's high-calorie without much nutrition to offer. High-fat food like sour cream isn't inherently bad, but it's a high-calorie and -fat dairy product that contains very little protein - it hardly seems worth it. Worst: Sour Cream, Monterey Jack, & Queso Blanco Stay away from all salsas and opt for the healthiest option we mentioned, the tomatillo green chili salsa. It makes us scratch our heads that fresh salsa isn't the healthiest salsa option at Chipotle, but it's high in sodium and, according to some employees, not chopped fresh in-house like other Chipotle ingredients. The tomatillo salsa is the lowest in sodium of Chipotle's salsa options. Guacamole's healthy unsaturated fats will keep you full for longer and completely satisfied while aiding almost all of your bodily functions. There is no question that avocados are high in calories and fat, but we think guacamole's nutritional benefits more than make up for those downsides. ![]() Best: Pinto & Black BeansĪ serving of either pinto or black beans contains 130 calories, but it also adds another 8g of lean, plant-based protein to turn your burrito bowl into a protein power bowl. The veggies are what makes Chipotle really shine as a healthy fast food option, so load up as much as you like on lettuce and grilled fajita vegetables that contain a lot of fiber and nutrients and very few extra calories. Bonus: you'll save a bit of money! Best: Load Up on Veggies ![]()
