Here is a quick breakdown of how many calories you can expect in each menu format at Chipotle. Keep in mind that these are just estimates since the totals can vary quite a bit depending on what proteins, toppings and extras you choose.

What Drives the Calorie Count at Chipotle?

The calorie count in your Chipotle order is shaped by a few major decisions. Knowing what they are can help you get more control over the nutrition of your meal:

• The flour tortilla itself is the highest contributor of calories to the burrito, adding about 320 calories and 49g of carbs to your meal.
• When it comes to toppings, cheese (110-230 calories), sour crème (110-230 calories) and guacamole (approx. 120 calories) are the toppings that add the most calories per serving.
• Protein choice matters. Chicken is the leanest protein at about 200 calories per serving vs steak which is lower at about 150 calories
• Rice type also matters. White rice adds around 210 calories vs asking for light rice which brings it down to about 110 calories
• A bowl with the same fillings as a burrito cuts 300 or more calories by nixing the tortilla

Chipotle Burrito Nutrition Facts

How Many Calories Are in a Chipotle Burrito?

Most of the chain’s burritos contain between 740 and 1,210 calories, without any drink, side, dip or dessert. The flour tortilla used to wrap most of the ingredients of each dish supplies roughly 320 calories and about 600 milligrams of sodium. A loaded burrito complete with beef or chicken rice, beans, cheese and guacamole can add up to more than 2,000 calories right there along with about 950 milligrams of sodium.

That doesn’t mean you can never eat a burrito. But be mindful about what’s inside, and how many high-calorie extras you’re ordering at once.
