How many calories are in a Chipotle bowl?
It depends entirely on how you build it — and that's exactly what this calculator answers. A bowl starts at zero calories (no tortilla), so everything on the ticket comes from your fillings. A typical chicken bowl with white rice, black beans, tomato salsa and cheese lands at 655 calories with 50g of protein. Add guacamole and you're near 885. Strip it to chicken, fajita veggies, salsa and lettuce and you're around 230 calories.
The bowl is the most flexible thing on the menu: it's the easiest format to keep under 500 calories, and also the easiest to push past 1,000 without noticing — corn salsa, cheese, sour cream and guac together add 530 calories before you've touched a protein. Use the budget slider above to set your limit and the ticket will tell you the moment a topping pushes you over.
