Chipotle Macros: Protein Sources

Protein is where Chipotle genuinely excels. Here’s the complete macro breakdown for every protein option:

Protein	Calories	Protein	Carbs	Fat	Sodium
Steak	150	21g	1g	6g	310mg
Sofritas	150	8g	9g	10g	480mg
Barbacoa	170	24g	2g	7g	540mg
Chicken	180	32g	1g	7g	310mg
Carnitas	210	23g	0g	12g	370mg

Best protein-to-calorie ratio: Chicken at 32g protein for 180 calories is unbeatable — 0.18g protein per calorie. This is why it’s the go-to choice for anyone tracking macros seriously.

Best low-fat protein: Steak at only 6g fat with 21g protein is the leanest animal protein option.

Plant-based note: Sofritas provides 8g protein for 150 calories — reasonable, but the 9g carbs and 10g fat make it less macro-efficient than animal proteins.

Chipotle Macros: Bases and Sides

Base/Side	Calories	Protein	Carbs	Fiber	Fat
Romaine lettuce	5	0g	1g	0g	0g
Supergreens	20	1g	4g	2g	0g
Fajita vegetables	20	1g	3g	1g	1g
Pinto beans	120	7g	22g	8g	1g
Black beans	130	8g	23g	8g	1g
White rice	210	4g	40g	1g	4g
Brown rice	210	5g	40g	2g	4g

For low-carb macros: Supergreens (4g carbs) and fajita vegetables (3g carbs) are the only genuinely low-carb base options. Both rice varieties hit 40g carbs each — significant for anyone on a low-carb or ketogenic approach.

For high-fiber macros: Black and pinto beans both deliver 8g of dietary fiber — excellent for digestive health and satiety. The fiber also partially offsets the carb impact by slowing digestion.

Chipotle Macros: Salsas

Salsa	Calories	Protein	Carbs	Fat
Tomatillo green	15	0g	3g	0g
Pico de gallo	25	1g	4g	0g
Tomatillo red	30	1g	5g	1g
Corn salsa	80	2g	15g	1g

Salsas are essentially free from a macro perspective — except corn salsa at 15g carbs, which is worth noting for low-carb trackers. Pile on tomatillo and pico freely.

Chipotle Macros: Extras and Toppings

Extra	Calories	Protein	Carbs	Fat
Sour cream	110	2g	2g	10g
Shredded cheese	110	6g	0g	9g
Queso blanco	120	5g	5g	8g
Guacamole	230	2g	8g	22g

Guacamole macro note: At 22g fat, guacamole is Chipotle’s highest-fat topping — but it’s almost entirely monounsaturated fat from avocado, which is associated with cardiovascular benefits. For anyone on a high-fat, low-carb approach, guacamole is actually a strategically good choice.

Cheese macros: 110 calories, 0g carbs, 6g protein, 9g fat — clean macro addition for anyone not restricting fat.

Chipotle Macros: The Tortilla Impact

If you’re choosing a burrito over a bowl, the flour tortilla adds significant macros:

Tortilla	Calories	Protein	Carbs	Fat	Sodium
Flour (burrito)	320	8g	50g	9g	680mg
Soft corn (taco)	90	2g	17g	2g	125mg
Crispy corn	60	1g	9g	2g	85mg

50g carbs from the burrito tortilla alone is a major macro consideration for anyone tracking carbs. Bowl format eliminates this entirely while keeping all other macros identical.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the macros for a Chipotle bowl?

Chipotle bowl macros vary significantly by ingredients. A high-protein bowl (supergreens, chicken, beans, salsa) delivers approximately 43g protein, 38g carbs, and 9g fat for 390 calories. A loaded bowl (rice, beans, double chicken, cheese, guac) provides 79g protein, 75g carbs, and 20g fat for 760 calories.

Is Chipotle good for macro tracking?

Yes — Chipotle is one of the best fast-casual restaurants for macro tracking. Every ingredient is separate and visible, all nutritional data is published, and the build-your-own format gives complete control. Our Chipotle Calorie Calculator calculates your exact macro totals by ingredient.

How much protein is in a Chipotle chicken bowl?

A standard Chipotle chicken bowl (rice, beans, chicken, salsa) contains approximately 40–45g of protein. Adding double chicken brings this to 70g+ protein — making it one of the highest-protein fast-casual meals available anywhere.

What is the highest protein Chipotle order?

The highest protein Chipotle order is a double chicken bowl with black beans — providing approximately 72g of protein. Grilled chicken delivers 32g protein per serving (64g double), and black beans add 8g more. Adding shredded cheese contributes another 6g.

Are Chipotle burritos high in carbs?

Yes — a fully loaded Chipotle burrito can contain 80–100g of carbohydrates, primarily from the flour tortilla (50g), rice (40g), and beans (22g). Choosing a bowl eliminates the tortilla’s 50g carbs. A keto-friendly bowl with supergreens base can get net carbs below 15g.

What Chipotle ingredients are keto-friendly?

Keto-friendly Chipotle ingredients include: supergreens base, any meat protein (chicken, steak, carnitas, barbacoa), shredded cheese, sour cream, guacamole, and tomatillo salsa. Avoid rice (40g carbs), beans (22g carbs), corn salsa (15g carbs), and flour tortilla (50g carbs).
