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.
