Yes and delicious.
Chipotle ftw
did u make em urself or did u buy it from a store that drizzles trans fat over them and uses ingredients that contain plenty of preservatives and additives?
Alan said it best:
What you're failing to see is that labeling a food either dirty or clean carries the implication that it's the only food existent in a diet. This is a false proposition from the get-go. Like I said before, unless you're specifying the hypothetical fairytale of eating a single food, you CANNOT label a food dirty or clean without removing it from its context within the diet. And once again, removing ANYTHING from its proportional context nullifies any valid discussion. Let's use red wine as an example. Is it healthy? Clean? Dirty? Good? Evil? Holy? Sexy? Saintly? Dangerous? IT FUKKING DEPENDS ON HOW MUCH RED WINE COMPRISES YOUR DIET.
if it fits your macros it shouldn't be that bad
just wondering cuz theres a chipotle right outside my dorm and thought $6 for a delicious 900 calorie post workout meal was too good to be healthy

Get a fajita bowl with rice, beans, double favorite meat and salsa. Skip the GOOD stuff like sour cream, tortilla, cheese and guacomole

Or don't?
this just in: all burritos are the same
Avocados are delicious awesome source of fat! Don't skip the guac! (unless it doesn't FIYM!)

They are fine bro. Just remember, everything you eat breaks down into 3 components: protein, carbs, and fats. The specific foods with which you choose to meet those 3 macros is based on taste and preference.
Enjoy it. Take care.
Is a sandwich healthy?
Burritos are the perfect meal. Lots of chicken, cheese and a tortilla. The ones I make have a 40 30 30.. Good for me!

I wouldn't call them "healthy" per se, but there's really nothing "unhealthy" about them either.
If you subscribe to any of the following nutritional fallacies, then you might be inclined to believe burritos to be "unhealthy":
- Flour tortillas = simple carbs = insulin spike = bad for you
- Sour cream/cheese = high in sat fat = bad for you
- Anything prepared at a fast food restaurant is inherently bad
As I said, none of the above are true. I assume those are the reasons you asked the question?
Now, granted, they are high in sodium which [i]can[/i] be bad for you if you don't work out frequently, eat a decent amount of potassium, drink a decent amount of water and/or already have high blood pressure.
In addition, there is the likelihood that there are trace amounts of trans fats in anything Chipotle makes. That's the only reason that I would say you might want to stray away from eating them on a regular basis, but the presence of trans fats is not nearly high enough for you to be legitimately concerned about eating one here and there.
Conclusion: if you don't eat them one or more times every single day, there is nothing "wrong" with it. I just wouldn't go around touting it as a "health food" either.
Burritos are one of the most inherently unhealthy foods you can eat.
Unless you pair it with a protein shake.
