I get my chiopotle with very little rice, no cheese, and no sour cream or guac. It's not low cal, but it's significantly better than any other fast food save maybe an undressed/no cheese 6" subway sub.
You don't eat meat, so if you don't put any of that stuff on a burrito, I have no clue what you get on it. Lettuce and salsa? Beans? I mean, that's not really a burrito, it's more like a pouch of vegetables. You're an anomaly on this one for sure, Nebu.  Edit: Add chart and: Anyway, other than Nebu's not burrito, there's no way to get a mildly-pretending-to-be-healthy burrito there. The sodium alone makes Ramen look amateurish. |

The rice isn't nearly as bad as you claim it to be, schild. The saturated fat is estimated at approximately 0.5 grams for the average scoop.
That said, these things are indeed calorie bombs and will definitely get you fat if you eat too many of them.

A bean burrito is a burrito. Isn't it? I get lots of black beans, lettuce and pico with a little rice. The black beans look like they're boiled, so that's reasonably healthy. The rice is fatty, you can taste it. For me the bulk of badness comes from the tortilla. |

I have eaten Moe's and honestly I'd rather make my own burrito at home. It ends up with less crap in it, being mostly black beans and cheese.

Well, never gonna eat there. Not sure they could have shittier locations.
I think they may have a slightly different definition of shitty location than you do, considering the one I go to is practically on the campus of the largest college in the US. |

I Sauced don't get any pie for 2.5 many more months.  Wasn't sure what the heck you guys were on about chipotle, I'm all "yeah, it's great in a burrito" but I guess you mean a food chain. Because chipotle peppers (in adobo) is smokey goodness. I make mah own burritos. Tortilla, rice, beans, guac, chicken, cheddar/jack. She tops with salsa, I use chipotle hot sauce. |

Good! You can recommend a tortilla press for me to buy. I hate store-bought tortillas. |

I have a guilty plezh soft spot for Taco Time's veggie burrito. I haven't seen any other fast food taco chain that offers whole wheat tortillas (tortillas are the main calorie source in the burritos I eat), plus they add sunflower seeds and olives. Nom.

Ok, how about: I assemble my own burritos.  I always thought it was just two sheets of wax paper and a cast iron skillet, though. |

<---- Same, but it is some work to get there and I am usually not hungry long afterwards. But usually I only get the burrito and avoid the sour cream, guacamole, and beans. Comes down to 800 calories or so according to their chart. Not stellar, but hardly going to kill me. Only have one a week (if that) and lunch would have consisted of a turkey sandwich, apple and yogurt, so it still comes down to under 2000 calories in a day ;-) Where I work makes a pretty passable burrito too every Wednesday (don't eat much dinner that day). Too bad the yellow jackets love to make off with my rice as I am eating it. |

I must be a pig. I could easily eat two of those things without feeling full. I have to drink a large glass of water with one just to keep me from grabbing another. |

They must make them bigger somewhere else. In Seattle they are the standard mission burrito size.

I should get back to nature, too. You know, like going to a shop for groceries instead of the computer. Maybe a condo in the woods that doesn't even have a health club or restaurant attached. Buy a car with only two cup holders or something. -Signe

They don't fall into the B.O.U.S. (Burritos of Unusual Size) category here in Northern California either. I tried them once since there's one near where I live now but I didn't like the rice and the meat was way too dry so I never went back.

I do pretty frequently and I'm by no means a big person. There's a Chipotle in the same building as the theater I work at. Personally though I'd rather go to El Grullense or Chavez Market, but most of the time convenience wins out. |

We recently invested in a Sleep Number bed. So far so good- it has held its shape, and the ability to change firmness on the fly is pretty sweet. Caution- don't screw around with the settings to entertain yourself and forget to reset it before you fall asleep. I did that last night and woke up sore as hell from sleeping at like 85 (normally use 55-60).
Sleep number crew checking in. My wife and I have had our sleep number for 2 years after first having a tempur-pedic bed. The memory foam crap was always hot and it made simple movement in bed a chore. The sleep number bed is amazing, considering you can blow it up to 100 and have a nice firm platform for all kinds of fun.   |

From what I remember when I lived there, Seattle in general made smaller burritos then other places I've been. Along with buritos, Seattle can't make ribs, pizza, or italian beefs compared to other places. On the flip side, they had some damn good Asian foods and it's the only area I've ever enjoyed fish besides shellfish, so there's a little tradeoff. |

Chipotle is certainly better than Taco Bell, but I'll still go to a local taqueria (even a relatively bad one) over a chain any day.
Also, Chipotle burritos are tiny IIRC.

The burritos I get from Chipotle here are quite a bit over two pounds, as far as I recall. It is by all accounts way more food than the average person should ever consume in a meal. I wonder if there are regional variations...or some of you are just humongous pigs?

Yeah Chipotle burritos are small-to-average size. I mean come on, they don't even need 2 tortillas to make one.  |

You couldn't fill your pool for $32K! Move to Portsmouth, UK, and get a contract with IBM. They pay well, taxes are cheap for contractors in the UK and IBM contracts just go on and on and on forever and ever and ever.... Or become a rock icon. |

Alcohol and flames do not mix. Not sure exactly when or how but I managed to give myself a second degree burn last night on my right palm, I'm guessing it was a match or a candle or something because the blister isn't too big but it is sore and isn't helping a horrible hangover.
On the plus side I finally got round to trying VDL's shredded lamb and couscous dish and it was awesome, thanks VDL!
