Chipotle Calorie Calculator

How many calories are in a Chipotle bowl?

A typical Chipotle chicken bowl with white rice, black beans, cheese and fresh tomato salsa comes to about 655 calories and 50 g of protein. But almost nobody orders exactly that. Chipotle is built scoop by scoop, so the same "chicken bowl" can be 450 calories or 1,200 depending on what goes in. That is why the calculator above lets you build your actual order.

Chipotle chicken bowl calories and macros

The most-ordered build is a chicken bowl with white rice, black beans, cheese and fresh tomato salsa. Here is where its calories come from.

That is a solid high-protein meal at about 1,610 mg of sodium. Adding guacamole takes it to 885 calories, and swapping white rice for half a scoop of brown saves about 105.

Chipotle burrito nutrition facts

A burrito is the same fillings wrapped in a 320 calorie flour tortilla. A chicken burrito with white rice, black beans, cheese and fresh tomato salsa comes to:

• 975 calories
• 59 g protein, 118 g carbs, 30.5 g fat, 11 g fiber
• About 2,210 mg sodium, close to a full day's recommended limit

Steak instead of chicken saves 30 calories and 11 g of protein. Carnitas adds 30 calories. Sour cream, queso or guac push most burritos past 1,100.

How to build a lower calorie order

1. Get a bowl or salad instead of a burrito. The tortilla alone is 320 calories, the single biggest saving on the menu.
2. Pick chicken or steak. Chicken has the most protein per calorie. Steak is the lowest calorie meat.
3. Go light on rice, or swap it for fajita veggies. Half a scoop saves about 100 calories.
4. Load up on salsa and lettuce. Fresh tomato and green chili salsa are flavourful and almost free in calories.
5. Choose one rich topping. Guac, queso, cheese and sour cream together add over 550 calories. Pick your favourite.
