Under 500 Calories Chipotle Orders

Satisfying bowls that stay under a 500-calorie ceiling by using light portions and low-calorie toppings.

The easiest way to land under 500 calories at Chipotle is to keep one protein, ask for light rice and skip the high-calorie extras. Salsas, fajita veggies and lettuce are nearly free, calorie-wise.

The three picks below are all under 500 calories. Light portions are half a serving, so they are a good way to keep rice or beans on the order.

Frequently asked questions: Under 500 Calories

How many calories are in a typical Chipotle burrito bowl?

It depends entirely on the build. A bowl with chicken, rice, beans and salsa is roughly 550-600 calories, while adding cheese, sour cream and guacamole can push it above 900.

What are the biggest calorie drivers?

Guacamole (230), burrito tortilla (320), rice (210), queso blanco (120), cheese (110) and sour cream (110) account for most of the calories in a heavy order.

Can I ask for light portions?

Yes. Light portions are modelled as half a serving in Macroline, which halves the calories of that ingredient.

Which ingredients are practically free?

Romaine (5 calories), fajita veggies (20) and the tomatillo salsas (15-30) add flavour and volume for very few calories.
