Keto Chipotle

Chipotle Mexican Grill. Only one of the best places to eat on the planet, right? Fresh food, great flavors, and so freakin’ good.

But then the keto diet came around. There are HOW many net carbs in that burrito wrap?! Pretty much enough to knock you out of ketosis for the next month! (Okay, that’s a slight exaggeration… one wrap contains 47 grams of net carbs. But that’s still a lot!)

Fear not, Chipotle fan. There are plenty of tasty foods you can enjoy at Chipotle when you’re on the keto diet, and I’m going to tell you all about them in this post: The Ultimate Keto Chipotle Guide.

Please BOOKMARK this post right now because I am going to update and improve it as much as possible. I want it to be so comprehensive that you wouldn’t think of going anywhere else!

How I sourced nutrition info for the ultimate Keto at Chipotle Guide…

Note that this info was correct to the best of my ability at the time of publishing this post. I sourced my information from the Chipotle Nutrition Calculator, but I am only human (darn!), so if you see an error, please let me know by commenting on this post and I’ll correct it. Thank you!

The Best Low Carb Chipotle Food Choices (aka What Can I Get at Chipotle on Keto?)

The best thing you could possibly order for low carb Chipotle food when you’re on the ketogenic diet is the Burrito Bowl.

The Burrito Bowl is a traditional Chipotle burrito minus the burrito wrap. It is basically like eating a delicious Keto Salad, except better. A lot of people who are trying to eat healthy order burrito bowls, and as a keto dieter, you should do the same!

The good news is burrito bowls are super-customizable. You can truly make your “Keto Burrito Bowl” your very own.

Choose from these keto-friendly ingredients (nutrition information is provided for one serving)…

Note: If no fat grams are listed, that means the ingredient does not contain fat.

Meat

• Steak – 0g Net Carbs; 6g Fat
• Chicken – 0g Net Carbs; 7g Fat
• Carnitas – 0g Net Carbs; 12g Fat
• Barbacoa – 1g Net Carbs; 7g Fat

Veggies

• Fajita Peppers – 4g Net Carbs
• Romaine Lettuce – 1g Net Carbs

Dairy

• Queso – 3.5g Net Carbs; 8g Fat
• Sour Cream – 2g Net Carbs; 9g Fat
• Cheese – 1g Net Carbs; 8g Fat

Salsas and Guacamole

• Fresh Tomato Salsa – 3g Net Carbs
• Tomato Red-Chili Salsa – 3g Net Carbs
• Guacamole – 2g Net Carbs; 22g Fat

What Should Be in Your Keto Chipotle Order?

Your best bet for a keto Chipotle order is to stick to a protein and romaine lettuce, plus some extra fat in the form of sour cream, cheese, and/or guacamole. You can mix n’ match any way you’d like! If you’d like to go a little low on fat in your keto Chipotle order, you can substitute a salsa for one of the fats.

The Ultimate Fat Bomb Low Carb Chipotle Bowl

Do you want to order the ULTIMATE Chipotle Keto Fat Bomb Bowl?! I put together a special keto chipotle bowl order just for you:

• Carnitas
• Cheese
• Sour Cream
• Guacamole
• Romaine Lettuce

Nutrition facts: 5g Net Carbs; 51g Fat; 33g Protein

This keto Chipotle bowl will give you plenty of fats and protein to keep you satiated while only eating up (no pun intended) 5g of your net carb macros. The great thing about this order is you’ll still get in your veggies thanks to guacamole and romaine lettuce.YUM!

Note: You can also order this as a salad bowl (instead of a burrito bowl), which will give you more romaine lettuce. It adds another 1g net carbs, but I think it is 100% worth it for the added fiber and nutrient boost! Here is the above fat bomb bowl as a salad bowl:

Here is another salad bowl, this time with steak and extra guacamole:

This is a really fun keto at Chipotle video from Megha and Matt at Keto Connect! 🙂 Watch the video to check out their favorite keto order at Chipotle:

Chipotle Keto Vegetarian Order

If you’re following a keto vegetarian diet, you can order the following keto bowl:

• Romaine lettuce
• Cheese
• Sour cream
• Guacamole

Nutrition facts: 5g Net Carbs; 39g Fat; 10g Protein

I don’t recommend getting the sofritas (marinated tofu) because each serving contains a whopping 6g net carbs! However, if youreally want them, you could do:

• Romaine lettuce
• Sofritas
• Cheese

Nutrition facts:7g Net Carbs; 18g Fat; 14g Protein (unfortunately, this meal is quite low in fat)

The Worst Keto Chipotle Food Choices

Unfortunately, there are foods at Chipotle that just won’t work for the keto diet. They are all perfectly fine foods, just not keto-friendly foods.

Here are the foods you want to AVOID at Chipotle if you are on the keto diet (due to their high net carb count):

• Burrito Wrap – 47g Net Carbs
• White Rice– 39g Net Carbs
• Brown Rice – 34g Net Carbs
• Black Beans – 15g Net Carbs
• Pinto Beans – 13g Net Carbs
• Roasted Chili-Corn Salsa -13g Net Carbs
• Tortilla Chips – 65g Net Carbs

Isn’t it crazy how high some of those are? Pre-keto, I would have chowed down on the tortilla chips without a second thought. But 65g net carbs per serving?!? No thank you!

Additional Keto at Chipotle Q&A

Is the meat at Chipotle grass-fed?

A lot of folks living the keto lifestyle like to eat grass-fed meat when possible. While Chipotle doesn’t offer grass-fed meat, they are committed to “real ingredients,” which, for their meat, means:

• No antibiotics
• No added hormones
• 100% vegetarian diet
• Humane handling of all livestock

Fun fact: beef at Chipotle is cooked sous vide! That is a special cooking method that helps the meat maintain a high level of moisture.

Is sour cream OK for keto?

Yes! Sour cream is a delicious keto-friendly option, especially if you want to eat keto at Chipotle. A 2 oz. serving of sour cream at Chipotle contains only 2g net carbs.

Are there any Chipotle no carb items?

Yep! The steak, chicken, and carnitas all contain 0g net carbs.

Where can I get Chipotle nutrition facts?

To check Chipotle nutrition facts, you can visit theirNutrition Calculator. I’ve used a lot of fast food calculators, and Chipotle is one of the best.

Is Chipotle low carb?

I wouldn’t call Chipotle a “low carb restaurant” per se, especially with those 47g net carbs burrito wraps, but I would definitely say that Chipotle is VERY low carb friendly! There are so many low carb mix n’ match items you can order at Chipotle that make it a great option low carb diets, including the keto diet.
