I love me some Chipotle. I would probably eat there every week if Jenny would tolerate it. Supposedly Freebirds makes a mean burrito as well, an even bigger one, but I haven’t been there yet. I like Chipotle because they make good, inexpensive food and try to be environmentally responsible by using locally grown produce and less-tampered-with meat.

After polishing off a particularly huge burrito Thursday night (got a coupon in the mail for a free burrito – SWEET!), I decided to look up the nutritional content. It takes a little work since you have to add up each ingredient. My typical burrito adds up to about 900 calories. Yikes! Then I always get chips that I sort of split with Jenny. A full bag is 570 calories. During non-Lent I add a Coke. So we’re looking at potentially 1600-1700 calories in one meal, a meal that seems to be fairly healthy. After all, it does have grilled chicken and black beans! Hmm…maybe I should start skipping those chips. ‘Cause you know I’m not skipping the burrito.
