How Many Calories in That Burrito?

| | Comments (3)

If you're eating at Chipotle, most likely more than 1,000. Yep, more than 1,000 calories in one burrito (even some of the veggie ones).  As this handy little report points out, eating the entire 1,300-calorie Barbacoa Burrito is like eating a quarter pounder, large fries and a large Coke. Of course a lot of people refuse to eat at Chipotle because McDonalds is a major financial backer of the chain, but it's managed to deflect some of that criticism by pointing to its health-conscious offerings. Oops.

Here's an interesting google thread on the subject.

Thanks to my sis for sending me the calorie link.

The now gone Tortillas in Atlanta had some healthy burritos. They used lean beef, chicken breast, and pork loin. All the veggies were steamed. The tortillas were made with veggie shortening.

Many of the manufactured tortillas use lard.
