Yes, Scanner Emily. Chipotle will make you fat.

Posted by Emily Farris

 

Yesterday we had a burrito from Chipotle. It was delicious. It also had 943 calories. And it didn't even have any meat in it!  How do we know we consumed so many calories with one not-so-very-little burrito? We used the Chipotle Nutrition Facts Calculator, that's how. And, well, it's time to cut the sour cream; it would have saved us 120 calories!

Here's how it works: you just go to this site and plug in what you had on your burrito or in your tacos. Then you can feel guilty and go run or purge or whatever you need to do to feel okay about eating a 1,000 calorie burrito. We just sat and contemplated it. You can do that, too.

My usual burrito only has 840 calories.

I'll always remember the time in college I got like 20 free burritos; I ate there like every other day.  Chipotle is great.

Wow. On the other hand, let's face it, thirteen inches of sour cream is bound to add up, right?
