What should I get from Chipotle?



Recommended Posts

Been looking up calories, carbs and Protein intake from the burrito bowl at Chipotle. My first day back to work (I work at a fast food place, so nothing I can really eat there.) And I got the okay to go swimming recently, so I have been swimming while playing with kids in the pool. (Tossing a hair clip in the pool and diving to grab it.) was one way to work out in the pool. But it did leave me dizzy a bit! When I got out, the young adults next to me (I am 26, but I know I was a few years older so I feel old.) were talking about BBQ. I was so into that idea, but for a possible healthier way of eating, was thinking burrito bowl. But I dunno what I should have with it. I know no rice but the Guacamole is seducing me. What do you usually get for the burrito bowl?

I cheated a bit on the fourth with some Desserts. I have no regrets, but I am back on where I need to be with healthy eating.

I am also 5 weeks out, woot!

What's wrong with BBQ? Grilled meat is a great source of protein! Just don't drown it with BBQ Sauce.< br>
From chipotle when I was early out I would just get a side of meat (yup they will do that in a little 2 oz container!)

Next step for me was burrito bowl with fajita veggies and meat.

Then I added salsa and maybe sour cream or guac.

Now I can do a salad bowl and every so often add the Beans.< br>

My fiancé and I don't have a grill, nor did we have gas money to drive to my parent's or grab the meat. XD So we were kind of stuck there. Next time though!

I get meat - usually carnitas, as beef is hard on me. No rice. Salsa, Beans, guac (but I ask for them to go easy), cheese, sour cream.

Easily 2-3 meals, even 7 years out.

Ah I was just confused by your initial post then, you said they were talking about BBQ and you thought of chipotle as a possible healthier way of eating. I thought you meant it was healthier than BBQ.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
