Chipotle is an awesome place to go for Keto. You are literally building a bowl regardless of what you order so it’s perfectly designed for you to build a great keto meal. A Salad Bowl or Burrito Bowl is going to be your best friend here. Avoid any tortillas, rice, or beans. And don’t worry. These are less like salads and more like big meat, cheese, and sauce bowls. Below is a link to their website nutritional calculator to experiment.

Top Meals to Get for Lunch/Dinner
Chicken Salad Bowl (No Beans, No Rice, No Dressing)- When ordering, immediately decline the rice and beans. You’ll get a scoop of chicken over lettuce. Dress it up with sour cream(make sure it’s full fat), guacamole, and fresh tomato salsa to get a nice mix going. Add extra chicken if you would like.
Macros are: 665 calories, 9g net carbs, 46g fat, and 43g protein
Barbacoa Salad Bowl (No Beans, No Rice, No Dressing)- Barbacoa, for the uninitiated, is a spicy shredded beef. Get your salad bowl with a scoop of it with cheese sour cream, guacamole, and fresh tomato salsa.
Macros are: 655 calories, 10g net carbs, 46g fat, 35g protein
Steak Salad Bowl (No Beans, No Rice, No Dressing)- Ask for the salad bowl of a scoop of steak, cheese, guacamole, fresh tomato salsa, and guacamole.
Macros are: 625 calories, 9g net carbs, 45g fat, 32g protein
Carnitas Salad Bowl(No Beans, No Rice, No Dressing)- You’ll order the salad bowl with carnitas (pulled pork), cheese, guacamole, sour cream, and fresh tomato salsa.
Macros are: 695 calories, 9g net carbs, 51g fat, 34g protein
Sofritas Salad Bowl- The vegetarian option. Be a little extra careful here in that the tofu does have 6g net carbs. I lose either the sour cream or guacamole, then add fresh tomato salsa and cheese. These are the stats keeping the guac.
Macros are: 525 calories, 13g net carbs, 40g fat, 17g protein
Bonus Chipotle Hints:
- Double meat is a good option for big eaters.
- The rumor is that you get more guacamole if you ask for it on the side.
- You can order two types of meat for the price of one. Just say “Half one, half the other”
- No queso. Not worth the carbs.
- There’s a bunch of hot sauce by the cutlery. Put as much as you want on at the end.
