Chipotle's Calorie Info Feeds You More Inauthentic Mexican Lies Than A Poorly Executed Dirty Sanchez

The brilliant minds behind “Burrito Blog” care for you and your terrible taste in quasi-Mexican slop. Fatass. As such, they have looked into Chipotle’s ludicrous nutritional tables to determine just how far off the mark their calorie info is. Turns out, just looking at a Chipotle burrito will make you gain about 7.3 pounds. Let’s join them as they break down the info for us, one little calorie at a time:

First, let’s get familiar with the Chipotle menu as concerns burritos. The Chipotle burrito and fajita-burrito variation have up to seventeen distinct ingredients, which can be broken up into three basic components: tortilla, filling, and topping. All caloric values are taken directly from the official nutrition information provided by Chipotle.

Do let’s:

Tortilla, 290 Calories (Required)
Fillings (Minimum 1)
Rice, 160 Calories Beans, Choice of
Black Beans, 130 Calories
Pinto Beans, 138 Calories
Meat, Choice of
Barbacoa, 170 Calories Chicken, 200 Calories
Carnitas, 210 Calories
Steak, 190 Calories
Toppings (All Optional)
Fajita Vegetables, 70 Calories Salsa, Choice of
Tomato, 20 Calories
Corn, 100 Calories
Red Tomatillo, 28 Calories
Green Tomatillo, 15 Calories
Cheese, 110 Calories
Sour Cream, 120 Calories
Guacamole, 140 Calories
Lettuce, 5 Calories

We feel constipated just reading that. Next, let’s look at how Chipotle, who claim their burritos range from 420 to 918 calories, lie like any place that puts sour cream on a taco and calls it Mexican:

There are zero burrito configurations with fewer calories than Chipotle’s lower bound value. There are 1,913 configurations with more calories than Chipotle’s upper bound value. That’s a bad start.

Indeed. The Burrito Bloggers did some mathemagicking to discover that the actual high amount for a normal-size burrito is a whopping 1,343 calories. Add a medium coke and a proper blowjob and you’re at about your daily caloric allowance. Moral of the story? If you must eat out, stick to chocha bread.

Chipotle’s is owned by McDonald’s…now do their calorie counts make sense?

I did the click to the chocha bread post…I am wetting myself with humorous response. You Guanawhattos are very, very funny!

Have you seen those Chipotle burritos? They are JLo-ego big. I don’t know anyone who eats the entire thing. On the other hand, one should always eat ALL the chocha bread.

Gee I always thought Burritos and Mexican food in general were pretty healthy lo cal fare! I can only imagine my total calorie count when you add in the chips and queso and fried ice cream for dessert! I guess I will get my burrito without the lettuce next time.

Damn I’m hungry. I always get the burrito bowl, which i guess knocks off about 300 calories (damn those tortillas). Good stuff!

@ Patrick

Do you know what’s in tortillas? Seriously? Especially the mass-market kind. It’s like eating beans and rice wrapped in a pie crust. No WAY that’s “healthy lo cal fare.”

jrod is right - skip the tortilla and go straight to burrito bol so that you can save your calories for the beer.

I just lapsed into a food coma….

FLOUR TORTILLAS WITH SOUR CREAM, lettuce and tomato is about the most disgusting revolting invention i have ever heard of. Too inauthentic for words.

but then who the hell cares if chipotle’s items have more calories than you thought? if you cant handle consuming that much energy in a day without getting fat, don’t eat it then. fatass.
