Chipotle Nutrition Calculator

Pick your format, then scoop by scoop — protein, rice, beans, salsa, guac — and watch calories, protein, carbs and sodium update live. Chipotle's own published range for a burrito is 740–1,210 calories; a bowl is 420–910. Here's exactly where your build falls.

Build your order

Choose a format, then add ingredients scoop by scoop. Protein, rice, beans, guac and queso can go up to a double scoop — everything else is a single on/off topping, just like the line at the counter.

Sides & drinks

Chips, guac, queso and the full fountain lineup — as standalone items, not part of a build. Fountain sodas vary by location: some restaurants pour Coca-Cola products, others Pepsi. Sort by any column.

Chips & Guacamole and Chips & Queso Blanco are simply the Chips row plus the Guacamole or Queso row above — Chipotle's published combo totals (770/1,270 for chips+guac, 780/1,290 for chips+queso) match that sum exactly. Chips & Salsa runs 560–620 cal (serves 2); beer runs 110–170 cal; bottled drinks run 0–280 cal — Chipotle doesn't itemize exact figures for those three.

Guides

The five proteins, side by side

Same 4oz scoop, five very different nutrition profiles. Sofritas is the lightest and the only vegan option; carnitas is the heaviest by a clear margin.

Chipotle protein comparison, 4oz scoop

Chicken gives you the most protein per scoop (32g). If sodium is your limiting factor rather than calories, steak and sofritas run 200mg+ lower than barbacoa.

Burrito, bowl, salad or tacos: what the container actually costs

Same chicken, rice, black beans, tomato salsa and cheese — only the format changes.

Same fillings across every format

The flour tortilla is the single biggest lever on this whole menu: 320 calories before you've added a single filling. Order the same food as a bowl and it disappears entirely. Tacos split the difference — three crispy corn tortillas cost less than one burrito tortilla.

The sodium problem

Calories get all the attention. On this menu, sodium adds up faster than most people expect — the FDA daily value is 2,300mg.

Barbacoa alone is nearly a quarter of your daily sodium in one scoop. Salsas swing wildly: tomatillo-red carries more sodium than the flour tortilla itself, while going easy on queso and salsa is a bigger lever than skipping rice.

What "extra" actually costs

Double protein, double rice, a large guac — these are the upgrades everyone asks about. Here's the exact math, straight from Chipotle's own published scoop sizes.

Cost of common upgrades

Every "large" or "double" option Chipotle sells is a clean multiple of the single-scoop value — there's no bulk discount on nutrition. Large guac (8oz) is exactly 2× a regular scoop; side queso (4oz) is exactly 2× the 2oz entrée portion.

Ordering lighter without ordering sad

  1. Skip the tortilla. Order a bowl instead of a burrito and save 320 calories and 50g of carbs, filling untouched.
  2. Salsa over sour cream or cheese. Any salsa is 15–80 calories; cheese and sour cream are both around 110.
  3. Sofritas or chicken over carnitas. Same scoop size, up to 60 fewer calories and noticeably less saturated fat.
  4. Fajita veggies are nearly free. 20 calories for a full 2oz scoop — the best volume-for-calories add-on on the menu.
  5. Watch queso, not guac. Guac's fat is mostly unsaturated; queso brings 6–12g of saturated fat per scoop, more than double any other topping.

The "veggie" order: how it actually works

Chipotle's menu board lists a Veggie option at 230 calories per 4oz — but there's no separate "veggie" ingredient in the nutrition chart. It's shorthand for: skip the meat, and Chipotle includes a scoop of guacamole and your choice of beans at no extra charge instead. Build it in the calculator above by leaving Protein empty, adding a scoop of Guacamole, and picking a bean — that's the real nutrition behind the menu-board number.

Questions people actually ask

What's the healthiest thing to order at Chipotle?

A chicken or sofritas bowl with fajita veggies, black beans, tomatillo-green salsa and no rice, cheese or sour cream lands around 400–450 calories with 30g+ of protein. Skip the tortilla to keep carbs down, and use salsa instead of dressing or sour cream for flavor at almost no calorie cost.

How many calories are in a Chipotle burrito?

Chipotle's own range is 740–1,210 calories, and that's before double protein or extra guac. The flour tortilla alone is 320 calories — about as much as the rice and beans combined — which is why the same fillings in a bowl instead of a burrito can save 300+ calories. Build your exact order in the calculator above for the precise number.

How many calories does double protein add?

A second 4oz scoop adds exactly what the first one costs: 150 calories for steak or sofritas, 170 for barbacoa, 180 for chicken, up to 210 for carnitas. It's a straight doubling — Chipotle doesn't reduce the second scoop.

Is Chipotle guacamole unhealthy?

A regular 4oz scoop is 230 calories and 22g of fat, almost all of it unsaturated fat from avocado — nutritionally closer to olive oil than to a typical high-calorie topping. It's calorie-dense, not "unhealthy" in the saturated-fat or sodium sense; queso, at 120–240 calories with 6–12g of saturated fat, is the topping that actually moves your saturated fat number.

What's the lowest-calorie bowl you can order?

Sofritas or chicken, fajita veggies, a light salsa, no rice, no beans, no cheese or sour cream gets you under 400 calories. Add black beans for fiber and you're still under 550. The calculator's sodium flag will warn you if a build crosses 1,725mg — 75% of the daily value.

How accurate are these numbers?

Every figure is Chipotle's own published per-ingredient nutrition data, summed exactly the way this page describes. Because every order is hand-scooped, your actual bowl will vary by however generous the person behind the counter is with the scoop — treat this as a close estimate, not a laboratory measurement.

Where these numbers come from

Every figure on this page comes from Chipotle's own published nutrition facts chart (revisions OCT-2024-US-CK and OCT-2024-US-PPS), the same document Chipotle prints in-restaurant and links from chipotle.com. Unlike some menus, Chipotle publishes one fixed nutrition value per ingredient regardless of which entrée it goes into — a scoop of chicken is a scoop of chicken whether it's in a bowl, a burrito or a taco — so a build's totals are just the sum of whichever scoops and toppings you've switched on.

"Extra" and "large" portions are modeled as exact multiples of the single-scoop value, which lines up precisely with Chipotle's own published large-size figures (large guacamole is exactly 2× a regular scoop; side queso is exactly 2× the entrée portion) — a useful check that the underlying data holds together.
