As you can see The calories versus the crap is pretty bad when you talk about the chips. I learned something new I’ve never realized how bad this was for me for just one little bag of chips. So we learn something together this time folks! As I said at the beginning of this this was my average meal that I used to have at chipotle. Others may differ some may be better so maybe worse. I will leave that to you dear reader!
But if you choose a healthier path then here’s what it looks like, take away the tortilla and everything changes!
You take 300 cal off at 1040 that’s right off the top plus you take a total of 10 g of fat off 1 g of saturated fat off 690 mg of sodium off 46 g of carbohydrates off 3 g of dietary fiber off and 7 g of protein off! You could even add a 3.5 ounce serving of guacamole if you want to. It’s all about the choices that we make, we could eat healthy if we just look at the facts and she’s a healthier choice! You see how much just taking away the tortilla makes a huge difference.
