CHIPOTLE!

Okay, I am sure you are thinking to yourself -- "This girl is going to talk about Chipotle again?...Woah".

Well here is the thing. I really want Chipotle for dinner. Like really! Instead of holding myself back (which might lead to eating everything "semi healthy" in my apartment...I am going to allow myself this treat.

With one stipulation.

I knew there was a web site where I could figure out the caloric value of those massive burritos. It is so user friendly, and I played around on it for about 20 minutes at work deciding what I would allow myself to get.

First, of course I figured what my normal meal would be there (carnitas burrito, rice, tomato salsa, corn salsa, cheese and sour cream)....

And the total is.... 1140 calroies! Oh my gosh! WHAT!?!?!?!?

That is insane. Ridiculous. Mind boggling. The really scary part is that my choice burrito would be 135% of my daily sodium intake! Ugh!

Then I figured out what I could get that would be a "decent" amount of calories -- this way I would still get the yummyness, without the stomach crud feeling.

So, my option for tonight is ... 3 soft tacos (I can bring one to work!), tomato salsa, verde salsa, black beans, lettuce, cheese and even Guacamole! The new total is 675 calories.

Now I realize that is a lot...but I figure, I split it 2 ways (2 for dinner, 1 for lunch) it makes it not so bad. And I am trying something new, the green salsa always looked good but I never got it!

I will let you know how my adventure goes :-)
