![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Never judge a plate just by it’s volume! It’s important for you to actually know what food types that meal is made up of because some foods are much more calorically dense than others. The crazy part is when you look at these meals side by side they seem similar! What might be a “normal looking” meal order can be deceivingly high in calories, just the same as what you might think of as a “low calorie” meal can have a lot of volume and be very filling & satisfying. I used Chipotle’s online nutrition calculator on my smartphone to figure out what would be the highest calorie meal I could build & then did the same to build a lower-calorie “normal sized” meal. Today we’re going to look at two different orders from one of our favorite fast food restaurants that you also probably know and love. Recently I’ve been talking about macros, calories, and how important it is to have balanced nutrition that FITS your daily energy needs – In other words, you’ll get the best results when you eat not too much, not too little but just right for your goals. It means being aware and making smarter nutritional choices based on your body’s energy needs and your transformation goal. No matter how much you workout you won’t be able to drastically transform your body unless you get your nutrition “on-point” – This doesn’t mean starving yourself to lose weight, or stuffing yourself to gain muscle. If you have no idea how many calories you’re consuming per day, you might unintentionally be sabotaging your fitness goals. Guess How Many Calories in This Chipotle Burrito?! I ordered dinner from our favorite “fast food” restaurant, Chipotle, and compared the the calorie counts. Did you know that by changing the way you order a meal, you can drastically alter the calorie content of your meal? ![]()
