GM's thread about nothing (19 Viewers)

manly men in England like Hugh Grant probably love them some English muffins with a cup of tea.

meanwhile, all those wimpy lumberjacks like to eat a nice fat stack of pancakes covered in fresh Maple Syrup.

Chipotle is disgusting
Don't get this either. More calories than any normal person needs in one meal, sure, but disgusting? It's chicken (or other meat), beans and rice. What's disgusting about that?
:sigh:

rice and beans are side dishes. they don't belong inside a burrito.

their tortillas are too thick, and are wet and doughy.

their meat is made in giant vats and is basically just boiled in fat...which is why you feel like crap after eating it.

if you're going to go to a chain for "mexican food" you're better off with taco del mar, which is still gross but at least resembles what they claim to be selling

Loved Taco Del Mar. Can't find many of them anymore in Portland. :(

They cook the meat on the grills that are clearly visible right behind the counter.

I pretty much exclusively do the chicken. I see the little mexi-guy in the back slicing them up, so the vat system is not apparent there.

grilled yes. but they're "made" in vats. like giant, delicious test-tube babies.

 
And I guess I'm on an island with the ground beef thing.

Like Tanner, that's what I grew up with and preferred too... until I tried- oh- anything else.

they have pictures on their website of cooking the meat in big pots. putting a bunch of meat in a pot on a grill does not make the meat "grilled"

I always get the chicken, which is grilled right in front of you.

Still don't see the problem with cooking things in big pots...lots if stuff gets cooked in big pots. :shrug:

Chipotle can be extremely healthy if you know what you're getting. The quality of the food is high, but you can't stock up on all the ingredients like you may be used to. Keep it simple and you'll wish you had a Chipotle built into your house.

I went through a period where I ate Chipotle almost everyday or every other day for several months and it definitely helped me shed a few pounds and feel better about my body, gastrointestinal health, etc... To be sure, I had not adjusted physical activity too much in the same period, so it was the Chipotle that really helped.

I've pored over their nutrition guide and spent months tweaking my routine till I established some hard and fast rules I'd be happy to share here.


Here's my Chipotle ordering routine that's guaranteed to be healthy (in the order of the assembly line itself):

  • Always get a bowl: it's not as messy as a burrito and you don't need the extraneous carbs from flour tortilla bread (the only processed food in their lineup which adds a whopping ~300 calories per meal and contains synthetic B-vitamins and gluten)
  • Beans [120 cal]: optional, could help meet daily fiber intake needs for smoother digestion, plus a good source of "clean carbs"
  • Fajita peppers [20 cal]: one of the few ingredients that's going to add zest to this rather sparse meal, load up on these peppers so it actually tastes good; also provides fiber and "clean carbs" (they're more sweet than spicy, for those averse to spicy foods)
  • Meat [190 cal]: any kind of meat, go crazy. chicken is obviously the safest option in terms of overall healthiness, but all their meat is high-quality and worth it; they source meat from naturally raised animals without antibiotics or hormones (whenever possible, not always!)
  • Salsa [15-80 cal]: go bonkers, another opportunity to add flavor to an otherwise bland meal
  • Guacamole [150 cal]: avocados have lots of good cholesterol, highly recommended to add to any of your Chipotle meals, their guac is the best!
  • Cheese [100 cal]: this is really not recommended, but if you haven't had it in a while, indulge yourself. it adds lots of flavor, but also extraneous fat. depends on your health goals.
  • Lettuce [10 cal]: it's always a good idea to add "greens" for general nutrition, but don't feel bad about not putting lettuce in. it's only 10 calories, barely making a difference and honestly getting the meal too scattered in the bowl. Jens Wuerfel's answer to Is there any nutritional value in lettuce? lays to rest the idea that lettuce has any nutritional value, and this page: What Is the Nutritional Value of Lettuce? also supports that claim
If we add everything up (minus cheese), our meal is 505 calories, a perfect size (if you're having three meals of this size a day). Sticking to this rubric, you're going to see all the benefits of Chipotle: it's going to get you lean !


The Banned List
Here's what you can't get if you want to make Chipotle healthy:

  • Rice [130 cal]: extraneous carbs, if you're feeling sick/weak, load up on it. if not, skip. if you have dietary needs that require rice, at least get the newly introduced brown rice. very physically active people may need the rice.
  • Sour cream [120 cal]: fatty, so it's out.
  • Tortilla bread [300 cal]: no! stick to the bowl! (Adds 300 calories to each meal!) and remember: it's processed, contains synthetic B-vitamins, and gluten (if you're looking to avoid that...)
  • Chips [570 cal]: adds a whopping 570 calories of pure "bad" carbs ... unbelievable. AVOID!
If you were to add the items on the banned list (minus chips), that'd be another 550 calories, doubling the meal we crafted above!
any kind of meat, go crazy. chicken is obviously the safest option in terms of overall healthiness, but all their meat is high-quality and worth it; they source meat from naturally raised animals without antibiotics or hormones (whenever possible, not always!)

so if you order in a way that they don't actually put on their menu, it's not bad for you.

their rice sucks and their tortillas suck. basically if you get meat in a bowl, you're being "healthy" woohoo.

:shrug:

it's about 5 billion times better than Taco Bell and most places in the US don't have your fancy Taco Del Mar available.

I only eat Chipotle a few times/year but it's consistently good.

 
I grew up near SF- discovered SF style burritos (beans and rice... shudder... inside the burrito) in HS. Got to NYC for college (mid 80s) and there was nothing. We finally got a place... Benny's- that did similar style things, but the taste was all wrong. Like eating McDonalds- tastes like McDonalds, and not a hamburger (which is ok, if you're jonesing for McDonalds). More places started to pop up that did things even more wrong. NYC finally got it somewhat down, with a bunch of ok spots (nothing like out west). Which is to say, IMO, Chipotle tastes as much the way a SF style burrito should taste as anything else... not bad, and very consistent. If I'm jonesing, and that's all I've got available... no problems with Chipotle.

So- how many of you say it chip-oat-lay? Or like me... chi-potul.

I could be outraged about cereal, I suppose, but GM's got that one covered.

 
there actually aren't even any chipotles anywhere near me. I don't even have the opportunity to not go to one.

I have a qdoba fairly close. they make decent tacos.

 
Not sure where else to post this but I just went to pull out a nose hair and actually pulled 3 at the same time. :cry:
