How this order was chosen
We tried every Chipotle bowl, salad or burrito a person would realistically order from the published menu (salad or burrito, protein, rice, beans, toppings, side) and kept the ones with 750 calories or fewer. Among those, the order with the most protein wins, but an item only earns its place if it adds at least 1g of protein for every 100 calories. Without that rule the winner fills up with sides that add a gram or two of protein and a lot of calories. Drinks are left out; pair the meal with a zero-calorie one.
- Double protein costs extra at Chipotle.
- Scoop sizes vary by location and by the person serving you, so treat these totals as a plan and log what you were actually given.
