I enjoy the occasional chain-store burrito. I consider(ed) them a healthy alternative to traditional fast food. Then I entered my personal burrito preferences into this Chipotle nutrition calculator:

Chipotle Nutrition Facts Serving Size: 1 Burrito

Those are the nutrition results for a tortilla with rice, beans, lettuce, salsa, and cheese: no meat, sauteed vegetables, sour cream, guacamole, or chips. Granted, one of these burritos is about the size of a small cat--but still, 26g of fat?!
Where does your burrito weigh in?

Holy frijoles! A chicken burrito bowl with cheese and sour cream is actually worse, at 38 g fat and 844 calories! Without cheese and sour cream, it's a modest 19 g fat and 614 calories.
