Mix and Enjoy (or Order Smart)
Your high-protein Chipotle-style bowl is ready! When ordering out, be specific about 'light rice', 'double chicken', and be mindful of higher-calorie toppings like cheese, queso, and large amounts of sour cream or guacamole if you're closely tracking macros.
Your Bowl, Your Rules!
The beauty of a Chipotle-style bowl is its customizability. Whether you're at the restaurant or in your kitchen, you control the ingredients. Focus on lean proteins, load up on fiber-rich veggies, and be mindful of sauces and extras to create a meal that perfectly fits your taste and nutritional goals.
Ordering Smart at Chipotle: Ask for "light" on rice or beans if you're watching carbs. Double protein is key. Fajita veggies add flavor and nutrients for minimal calories. Be cautious with queso, shredded cheese, and creamy dressings as they add up fast!
